Sec.  714.3  Initial and annual report requirements for exports and 
imports of Schedule 3 chemicals.

    (a) Any person subject to the CWCR that exported from or imported to 
the United States a Schedule 3 chemical in excess of 30 metric tons in 
any calendar year, beginning with calendar year 1996, has a reporting 
requirement under this section.
    (1) Initial report on exports and imports. Declared plant sites, 
undeclared plant sites, trading companies, and any other person subject 
to the CWCR that exported from or imported to the United States in 
excess of 30 metric tons of a Schedule 3 chemical in calendar year 1996 
must submit an initial report on exports and imports.
    (2) Annual report on exports and imports. Declared plant sites, 
undeclared plant sites, trading companies, and any other person subject 
to the CWCR that exported from or imported to the United States in 
excess of 30 metric tons of a Schedule 3 chemical in a previous calendar 
year, beginning with calendar year 1997, must submit an annual report on 
exports and imports.

    Note 1 to paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2).
    Declared and undeclared plant sites must count, for report purposes, 
all exports from and imports to the entire plant site, not only from or 
to individual plants on the plant site.
    Note 2 to paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2):
    The U.S. Government will not submit to the OPCW company-specific 
information relating to the export or import of Schedule 3 chemicals 
contained in reports. The U.S. Government will add all export and import 
information contained in reports to establish the U.S. national 
aggregate declaration on exports and imports.

    (3) Mixtures containing a Schedule 3 chemical. The quantity of a 
Schedule 3 chemical contained in a mixture must be counted for reporting 
an export or import 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. For reporting purposes, only count the weight of the 
Schedule 3 chemical in the mixture, not the entire weight of the 
mixture.

    Note to paragraph (a)(3).
    The ``80% and above'' mixtures rule applies only for report 
purposes. This rule does not apply for purposes of determining whether 
the export of your mixture to a non-State Party requires an End-Use 
Certificate or for determining whether you need an export license from 
the Department of Commerce (see Sec. Sec.  742.2, 742.18 and 745.2 of 
the Export Administration Regulations) or from the Department of State 
(see the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (22 C.F.R. 120 
through 130)).

    (b) Types of forms to be used. (1) Declared Schedule 3 plant sites. 
(i) If your plant site is declared for production of a Schedule 3 
chemical (and has completed questions 3-3.1 and 3-3.2 on Form 3-3) and 
you also exported or imported that same Schedule 3 chemical in excess of 
30 metric tons, you may report the export or import by:
    (A) Completing question 3-3.3 on Form 3-3 on your declaration for 
that same Schedule 3 chemical to be reported; or
    (B) Submitting, separately from your declaration, a Certification 
Form, Form 3-1, and a Form 3-3 for each Schedule 3 chemical to be 
reported, completing only question 3-3.3. Attach Form A, as appropriate; 
Form B is optional.
    (ii) If your plant site declared production of a Schedule 3 chemical 
and exported or imported a different Schedule 3 chemical in excess of 30 
metric tons, you may report the export or import by:
    (A) Submitting, along with your declaration, a Form 3-3 for each 
Schedule 3 chemical to be reported, completing only question 3-3.3. 
Attach Form A, as appropriate; Form B is optional; or
    (B) Submitting, separately from your declaration, a Certification 
Form, Form 3-1 and a Form 3.3 for each Schedule 3 chemical to be 
reported, completing only question 3-3.3. Attach Form A, as appropriate; 
Form B is optional.
    (2) If you are an undeclared plant site or trading company, or any 
other person subject to the CWCR, you must submit a Certification Form, 
Form 3-1, and a Form 3-3 for each Schedule 3 chemical to be reported, 
completing only question 3-3.3. Attach Form A, as appropriate; Form B is 
optional.
    (c) Quantities to be reported. (1) Calculations. If you exported 
from or imported to your plant site or trading company more than 30 
metric tons of a Schedule 3 chemical in the previous

calendar year, you must report all exports and imports of that chemical 
by destination, and indicate the total amount exported to or imported 
from each destination. Only indicate the total annual quantity exported 
to or imported from a specific destination if the total annual quantity 
to or from that destination is more than 1% of the applicable threshold 
(i.e., more than 0.3 metric tons). However, in determining whether your 
total exports and imports worldwide for the year in question trigger a 
report requirement, you must include all exports and imports, including 
exports and imports falling within the 1% exemption in your calculation.
    (2) Rounding. For purposes of reporting exports and imports of a 
Schedule 3 chemical, you must total all exports and imports per calendar 
year per recipient or source destination and then round to the nearest 
0.1 metric tons.

    Note to Sec.  714.3: Under the Convention, the United States is 
obligated to provide the OPCW a national aggregate annual declaration of 
the quantities of each Schedule 3 chemical exported and imported. The 
U.S. Government will not submit your company-specific information 
relating to the export or import of a Schedule 3 chemical reported under 
this Sec.  714.3. The U.S. Government will add all export and import 
information submitted by various facilities under this section to 
produce a national aggregate annual declaration of destination-by-
destination trade for each Schedule 3 chemical.
