U.S. Government Sponsored Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) 
Seminars for the Chemical and Related Industry

AGENCY: United States Arms Control and Disarmament Agency (ACDA).

ACTION: ACDA will sponsor seminars to explain the CWC and its 
significance for U.S. industry.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) will directly affect 
private sector chemical producers, consumers and processors. The CWC 
imposes requirements on certain industrial facilities.
    Depending on the specific chemical, the CWC requires:
     Detailed reports of the quantities produced, processed, or 
consumed in your facilities;
     Detailed production plans and site (plant) information;
     Short-notice on-site inspections of industry facilities 
and records by international inspection teams.
    The key issues for U.S. chemical and related industry managers:
     Compliance with CWC Requirements;
     Protection of confidential/proprietary business 
information;
     Prevention of adverse publicity/controversy;
     Prevention of unnecessary costs/production disruptions;
     Inspection readiness;
     Schedule for implementation.
    The U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency is sponsoring regional 
one-day seminars to explain the CWC, the domestic draft implementation 
legislation that is currently being reviewed by the Senate, and their 
significance to U.S. industry. You are invited to attend one of the
