Global Chemical Industry Compliance ProgrammeGC-ICPChemical Weapons ConventionDecember 2006 Version 1.0

GLOBAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRY COMPLIANCE PROGRAMME FOR IMPLEMENTING THE CHEMICAL WEAPONS CONVENTIONThe purpose of the handbook is to provide guidance to chemical facilities, traders and trading companies in developing a Global Chemical Industry Compliance Programme (GC-ICP) to comply with the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC). The GC-ICP focuses rst on determining if there is a reporting requirement to your National Authority and second on collecting the relevant support data used to complete the required reports. The GC-ICP is designed to provide a methodology to comply with the CWC and establish systems that facilitate and demonstrate such compliance. Each facility/company should also ensure that it follows its countrys CWC specic laws, regulations and reporting requirements. Sections 2, 3, and 4 guide you through the process of determining if chemicals at your facility/ company should be reported to your National Authority for compliance with the CWC. Section 5 provides recommended guidance on information that you may use to determine your reporting requirements under the CWC and administrative tools that your facility/company may use to ensure compliance with the CWC. Section 6 provides a glossary of terms and associated acronyms. Section 7 provides a listing of all National Authorities by country.

OVERVIEW

What is the Chemical Weapons Convention? The Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) is an international treaty that prohibits the development, production, stockpiling, use, and transfer of chemicals that could be associated with chemical weapons. - The full text of the CWC can be found at http://www.opcw.org. The CWC permits toxic chemicals and their precursors to be researched, developed, produced, otherwise acquired, retained, transferred, or used within the territory of a State Party or any other place under the jurisdiction or control of a State Party for purposes not prohibited under the Convention. The purposes that are not prohibited include industrial, agricultural, research, medical, pharmaceutical, protective, law enforcement, or other peaceful purposes. A State Party to the CWC is a country that has ratied or acceded to the treaty. Your country has ratied the treaty and is, therefore, a State Party to the CWC. - There are currently 181 States Parties to the CWC. - A list of States Parties can be found at http://www.opcw.org. The CWC requires States Parties to implement the collection of data and on-site verication requirements related to the production, processing, consumption, importation, and exportation of certain toxic chemicals and their precursors as well as unscheduled discrete organic chemicals (DOCs). The CWC is internationally administered by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), which is located in The Hague, the Netherlands. The CWC requires that States Parties establish a National Authority to serve as the national focal point for implementing the CWC and interfacing with the OPCW. Your point of contact on all CWC related matters is your countrys National Authority. - A list of National Authorities, including points of contact, mailing addresses, and telephone numbers can be found at: http://www.opcw.org/docs/NationalAuthorities.pdf or http://gc-icp.cwc.gov. The OPCW reviews and veries declarations submitted to it by States Parties for accuracy and completeness.

What is a Global Chemical Industry Compliance Program (GC-ICP)? A Global Chemical Industry Compliance Program (GC- ICP) is a handbook designed to assist the global chemical industry to comply with the CWC. The GI-CP provides a step-by-step methodology for determining if chemicals at your facility/company are subject to reporting requirements to your National Authority under the CWC. While the GC-ICP provides you assistance in complying with the CWC, you must consult with your countrys National Authority concerning CWC regulations and reporting requirements specic to your country. The GC-ICP is intended to assist facilities in determining if any chemicals located at your facility/company are subject to the provisions of the CWC. The development of a GC-ICP will require someone at your facility/ company to answer the following three questions: 1. Is your facility/company involved with chemicals listed on the Schedules of Chemicals or identied as an unscheduled DOC, as dened by the CWC? The Schedules of Chemicals are a list of chemicals and families of chemicals that are subject to reporting under the CWC. (See pages 7 - 9.) 2. Does your facility/company produce, process, consume, import, or export one or more of the chemicals on the Schedules of Chemicals or unscheduled DOCs?CWC Global Chemical Industry Compliance Programme 3

Section 1: Overview

3. Does the quantity and concentration threshold of each chemical produced, processed, consumed, imported, or exported by your facility/company exceed the applicable mixture and quantity thresholds set by the CWC or by your countrys national rules and regulations? Based on your answers to the above questions, you can determine whether your facility/company will benet by establishing a GC-ICP.

Overview of the Steps for Determining your Reporting Requirements This ow chart provides a brief overview of the decision process that you will encounter in Sections 2, 3 and 4 of the GC-ICP.

CHEMICALS

Introduction to Chemicals Before determining if you have chemicals that are subject to reporting to your National Authority, it is important to rst understand why certain chemicals are subject to data monitoring and verication under the CWC, including their capability for use for chemical weapons or non-prohibited purposes. Overview of CWC Chemicals The CWC specically addresses chemicals listed in three Schedules and unscheduled discrete organic chemicals (DOCs). The Schedules of Chemicals are contained in the treatys Annex on Chemicals. (See pages 7 - 9.) Scheduled chemicals are grouped based on their industrial or commercial uses and the potential risk they pose to the object and purpose of the CWC. Unscheduled DOCs are monitored under the CWC due to the process equipment used to produce them and the potential applicability of such equipment for use in chemical agent production.

Organisation of the Schedules of Chemicals Toxic chemicals are listed in the A part of the Schedules. Dened as any chemical which through its chemical action on life processes can cause death, temporary incapacitation, or permanent harm to humans or animals.Example: Phosgene: Carbonyl dichloride, Schedule 3 Precursor chemicals are listed in the B part of the Schedules, and have been used in the production of toxic chemicals. Dened in the treaty as any chemical reactant which takes part at any stage in the production by whatever means of a toxic chemical. Example: Thiodiglycol, Schedule 2 Note: Not all chemicals listed in the CWCs Schedules of Chemicals are chemical weapon (CW) agents.

Section 2: Chemicals

ANNEX ON CHEMICALS A. Guidelines for Schedules of Chemicals Schedule 1 Chemicals 1. The following criteria shall be taken into account in considering whether a toxic chemical or precursor should be included in Schedule 1: (a) It has been developed, produced, stockpiled or used as a chemical weapon as dened in Article II; (b) It poses otherwise a high risk to the object and purpose of this Convention by virtue of its high potential for use in activities prohibited under this Convention because one or more of the following conditions are met: (i) It possesses a chemical structure closely related to that of other toxic chemicals listed in Schedule 1, and has, or can be expected to have, comparable properties; (ii) It possesses such lethal or incapacitating toxicity as well as other properties that would enable it to be used as a chemical weapon; (iii) It may be used as a precursor in the nal single technological stage of production of a toxic chemical listed in Schedule 1, regardless of whether this stage takes place in facilities, in munitions or elsewhere; (c) It has little or no use for purposes not prohibited under this Convention.

Quantity threshold for declaring production, processing, consumption, export and import for a Declared Plant Site A declaration is triggered if at least one plant on a plant site produced, processed or consumed a Schedule 2 chemical above the applicable threshold quantity. A declared plant site must also declare exports or imports as part of its declaration if the total exports from or imports to the entire plant site (not just to or from the declared plants on the plant site) exceeded the applicable threshold quantity. Note that a plant site declared for the production, processing or consumption of one Schedule 2 chemical may also have a reporting requirement for exports or imports of another Schedule 2 chemical that it did not produce, process or consume above the applicable threshold quantity. Quantity threshold for reporting exports and imports for declared or undeclared plant sites, trading companies and other persons An export or import report is triggered if a plant site (declared or undeclared) or trading company or any other person subject to the CWCR exported or imported more than the applicable threshold quantity of a Schedule 2 chemical. Quantity threshold for reporting exports to or imports from individual foreign destinations Once an export or import declaration or report is required, report the specific quantity exported to or imported from a particular destination using the rounding rules in the above table. Report all quantities exported to or imported from a particular destination regardless of the quantity involved. Summary of Concentration Thresholds The following summarizes the concentration thresholds for counting the weight of a Schedule 2 chemical in a mixture (for declaration and report purposes), and determining whether the export to or import from a non-State Party of a mixture containing a Schedule 2 chemical is permitted.Summary of Schedule 2 Concentration Thresholds

Concentration threshold for a Schedule 2 chemical in a mixture to be counted for declaration or report purposes For a mixture that contains a Schedule 2 chemical, only count the Schedule 2 chemical if the concentration of the Schedule 2 chemical in the mixture is 30% or more. You would determine whether the concentration of the Schedule 2 chemical was 30% or more by calculating the percentage by weight and by volume and using the lesser percentage. If the concentration is 30% or more, count only the weight of the Schedule 2 chemical in the mixture, not the total weight of the mixture. Guidance for adding quantities of Schedule 2 chemical for declaration or report purposes Add all the quantities of Schedule 2 chemical from each plant at your plant site that produced, processed or consumed, including the Schedule 2 chemical in mixture concentrations of 30% or greater, to determine whether production, processing or consumption of the Schedule 2 chemical at any one or more plants on your plant site exceeds the applicable threshold. Plant sites, trading companies and other persons subject to the CWCR would proceed in similar fashion to count exports and imports to determine declaration or report requirements (in the case of declared Schedule 2 plant sites) or report requirements (in the case of all other persons subject to the CWCR). Note that exports from and imports to plant sites are determined for the plant site as a whole, including all units at the plant site. Concentration threshold for a Schedule 2 chemical contained in a mixture that may trigger import restrictions No person subject to the CWCR may import a Schedule 2 chemical from a non-State Party. This import ban applies to a mixture that contains a Schedule 2 chemical at a concentration above 10% by weight. Concentration threshold for a Schedule 2 chemical in a mixture that may trigger an export license requirement or other export restriction (1) Export license requirements for Schedule 2 chemicals subject to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). Most Schedule 2 chemicals are subject to the export control jurisdiction of the Department of Commerce. Depending on the destination, the export of a Schedule 2 chemical may require an export license from Commerces Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS). However, in most instances, a mixture containing a concentration of 10% or less of a Schedule 2 chemical, by weight, would not trigger a license application requirement under the Export Administration Regulations. In other instances, such as in the case of proposed exports from the United States to embargoed destinations or entities, even mixtures containing 10% or less concentration of a Schedule 2 chemical would require specific authorization from BIS (e.g., Cuba) or from another federal agency (e.g., the Department of the Treasury is responsible for licensing exports to destinations such as Iran and Iraq). (See 15 CFR parts 742, 744 and 746 and 31 CFR Chap. V.) (2) Export license requirements for Schedule 2 chemicals subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR)(22 CFR parts 120-130). The 10% de minimis exception does not apply to Schedule 2 chemicals subject to the jurisdiction of the State Department. You should consult with the State Department to determine license application requirements and licensing policy for exports of Schedule 2 chemicals controlled under the ITAR (i.e., Amiton and BZ). 34

A separate Certification Form is required for: a) each Schedule 2 plant site that has declaration requirements (declared plant site); b) each Schedule 2 plant site with Schedule 2 reporting requirements; and c) each trading company with reporting requirements. NOTE: If you submit a combined declaration and report, you must submit only one Certification form. This form serves several purposes, including: a) identifying a Point of Contact; b) certifying the accuracy of the submitted declaration; c) identifying the type of declaration or report submitted; and d) listing the declaration forms submitted. Questions C.1 through C.5 Name of Declaration or Report Point of Contact (D/R-POC) and Other Requested Information: Designate a D/R-POC. The D/R-POC should be a person whom the Department of Commerce may contact for: (1) the purposes of clarification of information provided in the declaration or report; and (2) for general information. The D/R-POC need not be the person who prepares the forms or signs the Certification Form. Question C.6 Certification: The Certification must be signed by the owner, operator or senior management official who certifies the accuracy and completeness of the information submitted. The Certification signature block must contain an original signature. Question C.7 Type of Declaration or Report: Check the appropriate box for the type of declaration or report being submitted (e.g. past activities, anticipated or additionally planned activities, exports and imports, combined declaration and report, and amendments) and indicate the year(s) for which the information applies. The ANNUAL DECLARATION ON PAST ACTIVITIES provides information on the production, processing, consumption, domestic transfer, export and import of a Schedule 2 chemical by a declared Schedule 2 plant site for the previous calendar year. A plant site must submit an ANNUAL DECLARATION ON PAST ACTIVITIES if one or more plants on the plant site produced, processed or consumed a Schedule 2 chemical above the applicable threshold during any one of the three previous calendar years. The ANNUAL DECLARATION ON PAST ACTIVITIES is submitted for the previous year only - not for each of the three previous years. The ANNUAL REPORT ON EXPORTS AND IMPORTS, submitted by plant sites and trading companies, provides information on exports and imports of a Schedule 2 chemical above the applicable thresholds. The COMBINED ANNUAL DECLARATION AND REPORT provides information on a declared Schedule 2 plant site that has a requirement to submit both an Annual Declaration on Past Activities and an Annual Report on Exports and Imports. The COMBINED ANNUAL DECLARATION AND REPORT provides information on the production, processing, consumption, domestic transfer, export and import of a Schedule 2 chemical above the applicable threshold quantity as well as information on the export from or import to the plant site of a different Schedule 2 chemical above the applicable threshold quantity that was not produced, processed or consumed by the plant site. Note that exports from and imports to a plant site are determined for the entire plant site, including all units of the plant site. The ANNUAL DECLARATION ON ANTICIPATED ACTIVITIES provides information on the production, processing and consumption of a Schedule 2 chemical by a plant site that has at least one plant that anticipates producing, processing or consuming a Schedule 2 chemical above the applicable declaration threshold in the next calendar year. The DECLARATION ON ADDITIONALLY PLANNED ACTIVITIES provides information on additional activities planned after submission of the Annual Declaration on Anticipated Activities, (e.g., increased production, processing or consumption of a previously declared Schedule 2 chemical at any plant on your plant site by 20% or more of the originally declared amount). NOTE: This declaration is due 15 days before the additionally planned activities can begin. Note that declarations on the production, processing, consumption, domestic transfer, export and import of a Schedule 2 chemical by declared plant sites will be transmitted to the OPCW and will also be used to compile the U.S. national aggregate declaration. Reports on exports and imports of Schedule 2 chemicals are not submitted to the OPCW, but are used to compile the U.S. national export and import aggregate declaration.

FORM 2-3 Declaration of Schedule 2 ChemicalDeclaration and reporting requirements are set forth in Part 713 of the CWC Regulations (15 CFR 713). Submit this form for each Schedule 2 chemical that was or will be produced, processed or consumed above the applicable threshold at the plant site. Use this form for all types of declarations (past activities, anticipated or additionally planned activities, and amended). If you check "Yes" in questions 2-3.7 and/or 2-3.8, you must also complete Form 2-3B. For the ANNUAL DECLARATION ON PAST ACTIVITIES, you must review your records for the three previous years to determine if in any one of those years one or more plants on your plant site produced, processed, or consumed a Schedule 2 chemical above the declaration threshold. If your plant site exceeded the applicable threshold in one or more of those three years, you have a declaration requirement for the past year and you must complete this form. Example: For the ANNUAL DECLARATION ON PAST ACTIVITIES during 2004, you must review your records for 2004, 2003, and 2002 to determine if in any of those three years you produced, processed or consumed a Schedule 2 chemical above the applicable threshold. In 2004 you produced chemical X below the applicable threshold; in 2003, you produced chemical X above threshold, and in 2002 you produced chemical X below threshold. You must declare a production figure for 2004 because you produced chemical X above the applicable threshold in 2003. If you did not produce above the applicable threshold in 2004, you enter "0" as your production figure. You must also follow the same steps above to determine if you have a declaration requirement for processing and/or consumption of that Schedule 2 chemical. If you were below the threshold for the Schedule 2 chemical for all three years for all three activities, you do not have a declaration requirement. Do not complete Question 2-3.9. For the ANNUAL DECLARATION ON ANTICIPATED ACTIVITIES, you must declare if you anticipate you will produce, process, or consume a Schedule 2 chemical above the applicable threshold. You must complete this form, except for questions 2-3.7 and 2-3.8. In addition to declaring production, processing or consumption of a specific Schedule 2 chemical, this form requires you to indicate exports from or imports to your plant site above the applicable declaration threshold for that same Schedule 2 chemical. Note that to determine whether exports from or imports to your plant site exceeded the applicable threshold quantities, you must aggregate all exports from or imports to the entire plant site (e.g., you would aggregate exports of this Schedule 2 chemical from all plants on the plant site, not only from plants declared because of production, processing, or consumption). If your plant site does have declaration requirements for exports and/or imports of this Schedule 2 chemical, you will check the appropriate "YES" box in question 2-3.7 (exports) or 2-3.8 (imports) and you will also complete Form 2-3B to provide additional information on the quantity exported to recipient countries or quantities imported from source countries. In the upper right-hand corner of this form, enter the Plant Site Name or the U.S. Plant Site Code (once assigned) that you entered on Form 2-1 (Schedule 2 Plant Site or Trading Company Identification). For each Schedule 2 chemical being declared, provide the CAS Registry number, if assigned, Chemical Name and Common or Trade Name. If the chemical is not specifically listed by Chemical Name and CAS Registry Number in Supplement No. 1 to Part 713 of the CWC Regulation (15 CFR 713), you must attach the structural formula of the chemical to Form A. Check the box to indicate that you have attached the structural formula. Insert the calendar year for which the declaration or report applies (i.e., YYYY). Question 2-3.1: For each Schedule 2 chemical, add the production amount from each declared plant whose production was above the applicable threshold and declare the total production of that Schedule 2 chemical for the plant site. Question 2-3.2: For each Schedule 2 chemical, add the processing amount from each declared plant whose processing was above the applicable threshold and report the total processing of that Schedule 2 chemical for the plant site. Question 2-3.3: For each Schedule 2 chemical, add the consumption amount from each declared plant whose consumption was above the applicable threshold and report the total consumption of that Schedule 2 chemical for the plant site. For the chemical BZ, you should report all quantities to the nearest tenth of a kilogram (e.g., 0.x kg). For the chemical PFIB and the Amiton family, you should report all quantities to the nearest kilogram or thousandth of a metric ton (e.g., x.00 kg or 0.00x metric tons). For all other Schedule 2 chemicals, you should report quantities to the nearest ten kilograms or hundredth of a metric ton (e.g., x0.0 kg, or 0.0x metric tons). Note to Questions 2-3.1 through 2-3.2: For the Annual Declaration on Past Activities, enter zero if you did not exceed the applicable threshold for a declared activity (production, processing, or consumption). For the Annual Declaration on Anticipated Activities, you are not required to submit a zero or null declaration. See section 713 of the CWCR. Question 2-3.4: Identify the Product Group Codes for which the Schedule 2 chemical was or will be processed and/or consumed by using the Standard International Trade Classification Codes (SITC Code) in Supplement No. 2. Provide up to five chemical Product Group Codes that contain the largest percentage of the Schedule 2 chemical. Declaration thresholds do not apply. Question 2-3.5: For each Schedule 2 chemical, add the quantities of sales and transfers that have occurred or will occur within the United States. If the sum exceeds the applicable threshold, then answer yes and submit Form 2-3A. If the sum does not exceed the applicable threshold, answer no. Question 2-3.6: Check the appropriate box(es) if the Schedule 2 chemical was or will be produced, processed or consumed for any of the listed other purposes.

FORM 2-3B Exports and Imports of a Schedule 2 ChemicalDeclaration and reporting requirements are set forth in Part 713 of the CWC Regulations (15 CFR 713). All plant sites and trading companies that have exported and/or imported a Schedule 2 chemical above the applicable threshold in the previous calendar year must submit this form. Use this form for all types of declarations or reports: past activities, combined declaration and report, exports and imports, and amended. You do not use this form to declare exports as part of your Annual Declaration on Anticipated Activities. You have a declaration or reporting requirement if the total exports from or imports to your entire plant site (not individual declared plants) or your trading company exceeded the applicable threshold for the Schedule 2 chemical. If your plant site has declared a specific Schedule 2 chemical for production, processing or consumption reasons, and has also checked Yes in questions 2-3.7 and/or 2-3.8 on Form 2-3, then you must submit this form as part of your ANNUAL DECLARATION ON PAST ACTIVITIES. If your plant site has not declared a specific Schedule 2 chemical for production, processing or consumption, but has exported or imported a Schedule 2 chemical above the applicable declaration threshold, you must submit this form as part of your ANNUAL REPORT ON EXPORTS AND IMPORTS. If your trading company has exported or imported a Schedule 2 chemical above the applicable declaration threshold, you must submit this form as part of your INITIAL REPORT ANNUAL REPORT ON EXPORTS AND IMPORTS. Plant Sites declaring a specific Schedule 2 chemical: ANNUAL DECLARATION ON PAST ACTIVITIES. If your plant site has a declaration requirement for the past production, processing or consumption of a Schedule 2 chemical and has also exported and/or imported that Schedule 2 chemical above the applicable threshold in the previous calendar year, you must also complete this form. NOTE: A plant site that is declared because of the production, processing or consumption of one Schedule 2 chemical may also have a reporting requirement for exports or imports of another Schedule 2 chemical that it did not produce, process or consume over the applicable declaration threshold. Plant Sites that have not declared a specific Schedule 2 chemical for production, processing or consumption and all Trading Companies: If your plant site does not have an ANNUAL DECLARATION ON PAST ACTIVITIES for a Schedule 2 chemical, but your entire plant site exported or imported that Schedule 2 chemical above the applicable threshold in the previous calendar year, you must submit an ANNUAL REPORT ON EXPORTS AND IMPORTS on this form. If your trading company exported or imported a Schedule 2 chemical above the applicable threshold in the previous calendar year, you must submit an ANNUAL REPORT ON EXPORTS AND IMPORTS on this form. In the upper right-hand corner of this form, enter a Plant Site or Trading Company Name, and/or the U.S. Plant Site or Trading Company Code (once assigned) that you entered on Form 2-1 (Schedule 2 Plant Site or Trading Company Identification). For each exported or imported Schedule 2 chemical being declared or reported, provide the CAS Registry Number, if assigned, and the Chemical Name. If the chemical is not specifically listed by Chemical Name and CAS Registry Number in Supplement No. 1 to part 713 of the CWC Regulation (15 CFR 713), you must attach the structural formula of the chemical to Form A. Check the box to indicate that you have attached the structural formula. Questions 2-3B.1 and 2-3B.2: Use a separate form 2-3B for each Schedule 2 chemical. Total the annual exports to each destination and total the annual imports from each destination. Use a separate block in Question 2-3B.1 and 23B.2 to indicate the quantities exported to each recipient destination and the quantities imported from each source destination. Report the specific quantity exported to or imported from a particular destination and round to the nearest 0.1 metric tons. (Use Supplement No. 3 to identify the Destination Code.) If additional spaces are needed to report all declarable or reportable export and/or import transactions, use additional copies of this form. Number the pages as shown on the bottom of the form.
