Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 240 / Friday, December 13, 2013 / Notices 75911 

‘‘Schedule 1’’ chemicals are 

implemented in the CWCR (see 15 CFR 

712) and in the Export Administration 

Regulations (EAR) (see 15 CFR 742.18 

and 15 CFR 745), both of which are 

administered by the Bureau of Industry 

and Security (BIS). Pursuant to CWC 

requirements, the CWCR restrict 

commercial production of ‘‘Schedule 1’’ 

chemicals to research, medical, or 

pharmaceutical purposes (the CWCR 

prohibit commercial production of 

‘‘Schedule 1’’ chemicals for ‘‘protective 

purposes’’ because such production is 

effectively precluded per PDD–70, as 

described above—see 15 CFR 712.2(a)). 

The CWCR also contain other 

requirements and prohibitions that 

apply to ‘‘Schedule 1’’ chemicals and/or 

‘‘Schedule 1’’ facilities. Specifically, the 

CWCR: 

(1) Prohibit the import of ‘‘Schedule 

1’’ chemicals from States not Party to 

the Convention (15 CFR 712.2(b)); 

(2) Require annual declarations by 

certain facilities engaged in the 

production of ‘‘Schedule 1’’ chemicals 

in excess of 100 grams aggregate per 

calendar year (i.e., declared ‘‘Schedule 

1’’ facilities) for purposes not prohibited 

by the Convention (15 CFR 712.5(a)(1) 

and (a)(2)); 

(3) Provide for government approval 

of ‘‘declared Schedule 1’’ facilities (15 

CFR 712.5(f)); 

(4) Provide that ‘‘declared Schedule 

1’’ facilities are subject to initial and 

routine inspection by the Organization 

for the Prohibition of Chemical 

Weapons (15 CFR 712.5(e) and 

716.1(b)(1)); 

(5) Require 200 days advance 

notification of establishment of new 

‘‘Schedule 1’’ production facilities 

producing greater than 100 grams 

aggregate of ‘‘Schedule 1’’ chemicals per 

calendar year (15 CFR 712.4); 

(6) Require advance notification and 

annual reporting of all imports and 

exports of 

‘‘Schedule 1’’ chemicals to, or from, 

other States Parties to the Convention 

(15 CFR 712.6, 742.18(a)(1) and 745.1); 

and 

(7) Prohibit the export of ‘‘Schedule 

1’’ chemicals to States not Party to the 

Convention (15 CFR 742.18(a)(1) and 

(b)(1)(ii)). 

For purposes of the CWCR (see 15 

CFR 710.1), ‘‘production of a Schedule 

1 chemical’’ means the formation of 

‘‘Schedule 1’’ chemicals through 

chemical synthesis, as well as 

processing to extract and isolate 

‘‘Schedule 1’’ chemicals produced 

biologically. Such production is 

understood, for CWCR declaration 

purposes, to include intermediates, byproducts, or waste products that are 

produced and consumed within a 

defined chemical manufacturing 

sequence, where such intermediates, byproducts, or waste products are 

chemically stable and therefore exist for 

a sufficient time to make isolation from 

the manufacturing stream possible, but 

where, under normal or design 

operating conditions, isolation does not 

occur. 

Request for Comments 

In order to assist in determining 

whether the legitimate commercial 

activities and interests of chemical, 

biotechnology, and pharmaceutical 

firms in the United States are 

significantly harmed by the limitations 

of the Convention on access to, and 

production of, ‘‘Schedule 1’’ chemicals 

as described in this notice, BIS is 

seeking public comments on any effects 

that implementation of the Chemical 

Weapons Convention, through the 

Chemical Weapons Convention 

Implementation Act and the Chemical 

Weapons Convention Regulations, has 

had on commercial activities involving 

‘‘Schedule 1’’ chemicals during calendar 

year 2013. To allow BIS to properly 

evaluate the significance of any harm to 

commercial activities involving 

‘‘Schedule 1’’ chemicals, public 

comments submitted in response to this 

notice of inquiry should include both a 

quantitative and qualitative assessment 

of the impact of the CWC on such 

activities. 

Submission of Comments 

All comments must be submitted to 

one of the addresses indicated in this 

notice. The Department requires that all 

comments be submitted in written form. 

The Department encourages interested 

persons who wish to comment to do so 

at the earliest possible time. The period 

for submission of comments will close 

on January 13, 2014. The Department 

will consider all comments received 

before the close of the comment period. 

Comments received after the end of the 

comment period will be considered if 

possible, but their consideration cannot 

be assured. The Department will not 

accept comments accompanied by a 

request that a part or all of the material 

be treated confidentially because of its 

business proprietary nature or for any 

other reason. The Department will 

return such comments and materials to 

the persons submitting the comments 

and will not consider them. All 

comments submitted in response to this 

notice will be a matter of public record 

and will be available for public 

inspection and copying.

of Industry and Security, U.S. 

Department of Commerce, displays

Information Act (FOIA) Web site at
