2020-27759 — Chemical Weapons Convention Regulations and the Export Administration Regulations: Additions to Schedule 1(A) of the Annex on Chemicals to the Chemical Weapons Convention
January 07, 2021
Type:Rule
Citation:86 FR 936
Reading Time:about 26 minutes
The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) has issued a final rule to update the Chemical Weapons Convention Regulations (CWCR) and Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by adding certain chemical families and an individual chemical to “Schedule 1” of the CWC Annex on Chemicals. These changes reflect decisions made during an international conference and clarify the definition of "production" under the CWCR. The updates ensure the U.S. complies with international obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention, but are not expected to significantly impact U.S. industry due to limited commercial applications of the newly added chemicals.
Simple Explanation
The government updated the rules about some special chemicals to make sure the U.S. is following international rules about stopping bad chemicals that can hurt people, but this doesn’t really change much for American companies because these chemicals are not used a lot here.
