§ 715.2 Amended declaration. In order for BIS to maintain accurate information on previously submitted plant site declarations, including current information necessary to facilitate inspection notifications and activities or to communicate declaration requirements, amended declarations will be required under the following circumstances described in this section. This section applies only to annual declarations on past activities submitted for the previous calendar year, unless specified otherwise in a final inspection report.

( 2 ) Approximate number of plants at the declared plant site that produced any amount of UDOCs (including all PSF chemicals);
( 3 ) Aggregate amount of production (by production range) of UDOCs produced by all plants at the declared plant site;
( 4 ) Exact number of plants at the declared plant site that individually produced more than 30 metric tons of a single PSF chemical; and

( 2 ) *Change in ownership of company or plant site.* If you sold or purchased a declared plant site, you must submit an amended declaration to BIS, either before the effective date of the change or within 30 days after the effective date of the change. The amended declaration must include the following information. ( i ) Information that must be submitted to BIS by the company selling a declared plant site: ( A ) Name of seller (i.e., name of company selling a declared plant site);

( F ) Details regarding whether the new owner will submit the declaration for the entire calendar year during which the ownership change occurred, or whether the previous owner and new owner will submit separate declarations for the periods of the calendar year during which each owned the plant site. ( 1 ) If the new owner is responsible for submitting the declaration for the entire current year, it must have in its possession the records for the period of the year during which the previous owner owned the plant site.

( 3 ) If the part-year declarations submitted by the previous owner and the new owner are not, when combined, above the declaration threshold set forth in § 715.1(a)(1) of the CWCR, BIS will return the declarations without action as set forth in § 715.3 of the CWCR.

):
You must submit an amendment to your most recently submitted declaration or report for declaring changes to internal company information (e.g., company name change) or changes in ownership of a facility or trading company that have occurred since the submission of this declaration or report. BIS will process the amendment to ensure current information is on file regarding the facility or trading company (e.g., for inspection notifications and correspondence) and will also forward the amended declaration to the OPCW to ensure that they also have current information on file regarding your facility or trading company.
Note 2 to § 715.2( b
):
You may notify BIS of change in ownership via a letter to the address given in § 711.6 of the CWCR. If you are submitting an amended declaration, use Form B to address details regarding the sale of the declared plant site.
Note 3 to § 715.2( b
):
For ownership changes, the declared plant site will maintain its original U.S. Code Number, unless the plant site is sold to multiple owners, at which time BIS will assign new U.S. Code Numbers.

You must submit an amended declaration to BIS no later than 45 days following your receipt of BIS's post-inspection letter.
( d ) *Non-substantive changes.* If, subsequent to the submission of your declaration to BIS, you discover one or more non-substantive typographical errors in your declaration, you are not required to submit an amended declaration to BIS. Instead, you may correct these errors in a subsequent declaration.
( e ) *Documentation required for amended declarations.* If you are required to submit an amended declaration to BIS pursuant to paragraph (a), (b), or (c) of this section, you must submit either: ( 1 ) A letter containing all of the corrected information required, in accordance with the provisions of this section, to amend your declaration; or
