# Arms Control and Nonproliferation

The proliferation of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and their delivery systems, advanced conventional weapons, and related materials, technologies, and expertise presents a grave threat to the security of the United States and to international peace.

North Korea, for example, pursues nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles in defiance of its international obligations, destabilizing Northeast Asia and increasing the risk of nuclear war. The Iranian regime develops ever more capable ballistic missiles and proliferates them to regional proxies and terrorist forces. Both ISIS and the Assad regime in Syria have used WMD. Russia and China have increasingly potent and diverse WMD and missile arsenals, and they provide advanced arms to partners and proxies in various regions.

It is a strategic goal of the Department of State to counter threats to the United States and the international order. Ultimately, the Department’s work improves the security of the United States and all the nations of the world.

Read more about what specific bureaus are doing to support this policy issue:

**Bureau of Arms Control, Deterrence, and Stability (ADS)**: ADS helps to form key strategies and goals of the U.S. government on arms control. These strategies and goals cover two broad areas: 1) assisting the United States and other nations in negotiating arms control and disarmament treaties and 2) creating strong relationships with other nations to aid in the implementation of treaties. **Read more about ADS.**

**Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation (ISN):** ISN’s mission is to prevent the spread of WMD, delivery systems, and advanced conventional weapons capabilities and to roll back such proliferation where it has already taken root. ISN tracks, develops, and implements effective responses to proliferation threats and shapes the international security environment to prevent their recurrence. **Read more about ISN**

( ii ) For the 2025 plan year and subsequent plan years, the LI NET sponsor will specify its assumption for any increase needed to the prior year's Payment Rate A, submitting justification to CMS in their bid if the cap exceeds 2%.
( 2 ) Payment Rate B reflects the projected net costs of the Part D drugs dispensed to individuals who receive the LI NET benefit.
( d ) *Payment reconciliation and risk corridors* — ( 1 ) *Reconciliation.* CMS conducts LI NET payment reconciliation each year for Payment Rates A and B after the annual PDE data submission deadline has passed and makes the resulting payment adjustment consistent with § 423.343(a).

# 									Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution							

Office of Environmental Quality

The 1979 Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution (LRTAP), the first multilateral agreement addressing transboundary air pollution, created a regional framework applicable to Europe, North America and Russia and former East Bloc countries for reducing transboundary air pollution and better understanding air pollution science.  LRTAP has contributed to a dramatic decline in air pollution emissions in the region, particularly for sulfur, and economic growth and air pollution trends have been progressively decoupled.

The Convention has 51 Parties and eight protocols, most of which address specific pollutants.  LRTAP is a convention in the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE).  The United States joined the Convention in 1981 and is a party to four of the protocols, including the 1998 Protocol on Heavy Metals and the 1999 Gothenburg Protocol.  The Heavy Metals Protocol aims to control emissions of lead, cadmium and mercury that are caused by anthropogenic activities and that are subject to long-range atmospheric transport.  The Gothenburg Protocol seeks to reduce the harmful effects of air pollution such as acid rain and ground-level ozone by targeting emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and volatile organic compounds.

LRTAP has enjoyed a series of successes in recent years.  In 2012, the Parties adopted amendments to both the Gothenburg Protocol and the Protocol on Heavy Metals.  Amendments to the Gothenburg Protocol updated targets to further reduce emissions of harmful air pollutants and that added measures to address particulate matter, including black carbon.  The amended Gothenburg Protocol is the first international agreement addressing black carbon.  The amendments to both protocols also introduced more flexibility in how obligations are implemented, without sacrificing effectiveness.  The United States ratified the amended Protocol on Heavy Metals in 2015, and the amended Gothenburg Protocol in 2017.
