The United States Government received 5 late sales reports accounting for 40 MT of critical use methyl bromide that were not included in our original submission. In addition to the amount in column I, 

there was an additional 784 MT from stocks made available to 2006 critical uses. In total the amount of methyl bromide used for critical uses in 2006 was 7209 MT.

1 Exempted by the Parties to the Montreal Protocol. Note that the critical use for a particular year may be the sum of quantities authorized by decision in more than one year.

2 Where possible, national Governments should include quantities on hand as of 1 January 2005 and for each year thereafter. National Governments that are not able to estimate quantities 

on hand as of 1 January 2005 can track the subsequent inventory of methyl bromide produced for critical uses (column L).

3 Carried forward as “Amount on hand at start of year” for next year.

a Total allowable new production and imports for 2005 critical uses was 7,659 MT; additional amounts of stocks were allowable for critical use in 2005 in the amount of 1,893 MT

b This figure would have been higher but due to the lateness of the decision on supplemental authorizations for 2005, quantities of exempted material were not made available to the 

domestic market in time for scheduled fumigations.

c

 There is no destruction or export of U.S. critical use methyl bromide. 

 d The original formula in column L as per Annex II of the Meeting Report is "H-I-J-K." The USG could not apply this formula because the confidentiality of data in column G, and 

 therefore column H, awaits legal resolution in domestic courts. Thus, the "amount on hand at end of year" in column L does not include the amount that would otherwise be inserted in 

 column G; rather, it only refers to methyl bromide produced or imported under the critical use exemption program.

e US regulations do not permit the accumulation of stocks through the critical use exemption. Amounts on hand at end of year are deducted in the year after the year in which the data 

was reported. The 443 MT of CUE methyl bromide on hand at the end of 2005 will be deducted from allowable new production/import in 2007. This figure does not include pre-2005 

supplies of methyl bromide.
