PART 714_ACTIVITIES INVOLVING SCHEDULE 3 CHEMICALS--Table of Contents
 
Sec.  714.2  Initial and annual declaration requirements for plant 
sites that produce a Schedule 3 chemical in excess of 30 metric tons.

    (a) Declaration of production of Schedule 3 chemicals for purposes 
not prohibited by the CWC. (1) Production quantities that trigger the 
declaration requirement. You must complete the appropriate forms 
specified in paragraph (b) of this section if you have produced or 
anticipate producing a Schedule 3 chemical as follows:

[[Page 136]]

    (i) Initial declaration. You produced at one or more plants on your 
plant site in excess of 30 metric tons of any single Schedule 3 chemical 
during calendar year 1996.
    (ii) Annual declaration on past activities. You produced at one or 
more plants on your plant site in excess of 30 metric tons of any single 
Schedule 3 chemical during the previous calendar year, beginning with 
1997.
    (iii) Annual declaration on anticipated activities. You anticipate 
that you will produce at one or more plants on your plant site in excess 
of 30 metric tons of any single Schedule 3 chemical in the next calendar 
year.
    (2) Mixtures containing a Schedule 3 chemical. (i) The quantity of a 
Schedule 3 chemical contained in a mixture must be counted for 
declaration purposes only if the concentration of the Schedule 3 
chemical in the mixture is 80% or more by volume or by weight, whichever 
yields the lesser percent.
    (ii) Counting the amount of the Schedule 3 chemical in a mixture. If 
your mixture contains 80% or more concentration of a Schedule 3 
chemical, you must count only the amount (weight) of the Schedule 3 
chemical in the mixture, not the total weight of the mixture.
    (b) Types of declaration forms to be used. (1) Initial declaration. 
You must complete the Certification Form and Forms 3-1, 3-2, 3-3, and 
Form A if you produced at one or more plants on your plant site in 
excess of 30 metric tons of any single Schedule 3 chemical during 
calendar year 1996. Form B is optional.
    (2) Annual declaration on past activities. You must complete the 
Certification Form and Forms 3-1, 3-2, 3-3, and Form A if one or more 
plants on your plant site produced in excess of 30 metric tons of any 
single Schedule 3 chemical during the previous calendar year, beginning 
with production during calendar year 1997. Form B is optional.
    (3) Annual declaration on anticipated activities. You must complete 
the Certification Form, and Forms 3-1 and 3-3 if you anticipate that you 
will produce at one or more plants on your plant site in excess of 30 
metric tons of any single Schedule 3 chemical in the next calendar year.
    (c) Quantities to be declared. (1) Production of a Schedule 3 
chemical in excess of 30 metric tons. If your plant site is subject to 
the declaration requirements of paragraph (a) of this section, you must 
declare the range within which the production at your plant site falls 
(30 to 200 metric tons, 200 to 1,000 metric tons, etc.) as specified on 
Form 3-3. When specifying the range of production for your plant site, 
you must aggregate the production quantities of all plants on the plant 
site that produced the Schedule 3 chemical in amounts greater than 30 
metric tons. You must complete a separate Form 3-3 for each Schedule 3 
chemical for which production at your plant site exceeds 30 metric tons.
    (2) Rounding. To determine the production range into which your 
plant site falls, add all the production of the declared Schedule 3 
chemical during the calendar year from all plants on your plant site 
that produced the Schedule 3 chemical in amounts exceeding 30 metric 
tons, and round to the nearest ten metric tons.
    (d) ``Declared'' Schedule 3 plant sites. A plant site that comprises 
at least one plant that produced in excess of 30 metric tons of a 
Schedule 3 chemical during the previous calendar year, or that you 
anticipate will produce more than 30 metric tons of a Schedule 3 
chemical in the next calendar year, is a ``declared'' Schedule 3 plant 
site. A plant site that submitted an initial declaration for 1996 and/or 
annual declaration on past activities for 1997 or 1998 is a ``declared'' 
Schedule 3 plant site for the years declared.
    (e) Routine inspections of declared Schedule 3 plant sites. A 
``declared'' Schedule 3 plant site is subject to routine inspection by 
the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (see part 716 
of this subchapter) if the declared plants on your plant site produced 
during the previous calendar year or you anticipate they will produce 
during the next calendar year in excess of 200 metric tons aggregate of 
any Schedule 3 chemical. A plant site that submitted an initial 
declaration for 1996 and/or an annual declaration on past activities for 
1997 or 1998, and exceeded the inspection threshold, is also subject to 
a routine inspection.
