Declarations, No Changes Authorization Forms, Change in Inspection Status Forms, and amendments required under this part must be postmarked by the appropriate dates identified in Supplement No. 3 to this part 715 of the CWCR. Required documents under this part include:
(a) Annual Declaration on Past Activities (UDOC production during the previous calendar year);
(b) No Changes Authorization Form (may be completed and submitted to BIS when there are no changes to any information in your plant site's previously submitted annual declaration on past activities, except the certifying official and the dates signed and submitted); and
(c) Change in Inspection Status Form--May be completed and submitted to BIS if your plant site is currently subject to inspection, pursuant to Sec. 715.1(d)(1) of the CWCR, and you anticipate that the production of UDOCs at your plant site during the current calendar year will remain below the inspection threshold level indicated therein (i.e., 200 metric tons aggregate); and
(d) Amended declaration. [71 FR 24929, Apr. 27, 2006, as amended at 72 FR 14408, Mar. 28, 2007] Sec. Supplement No. 1 to Part 715--Definition of an Unscheduled Discrete
Organic Chemical
Unscheduled discrete organic chemical means any chemical: (1) Belonging to the class of chemical compounds consisting of all compounds of carbon except for its oxides, sulfides and metal carbonates identifiable by chemical name, by structural formula, if known, and by Chemical Abstract Service registry number, if assigned; and (2) that is not contained in the Schedules of Chemicals (see Supplements No. 1 to parts 712 through 714 of the CWCR). Unscheduled discrete organic chemicals subject to declaration under this part are those produced by synthesis that are isolated for use or sale as a specific end-product.
Note: Carbon oxides consist of chemical compounds that contain only the elements carbon and oxygen and have the chemical formula CXOy, where x and y denote integers. The two most common carbon oxides are carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2). Carbon sulfides consist of chemical compounds that contain only the elements carbon and sulfur, and have the chemical formula CaSb, where a and b denote integers. The most common carbon sulfide is carbon disulfide (CS2). Metal carbonates consist of chemical compounds that contain a metal (i.e., the Group I Alkalis, Groups II Alkaline Earths, the Transition Metals, or the elements aluminum, gallium, indium, thallium, tin, lead, bismuth or polonium), and the elements carbon and oxygen. Metal carbonates have the chemical formula Md(CO3)e, where d and e denote integers and M represents a metal. Common metal carbonates are sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and calcium carbonate (CaCO3). In addition, metal carbides or other compounds consisting of only a metal, as described in this Note, and carbon (e.g., calcium carbide (CaC2)), are exempt from declaration requirements (see Sec. 715.1(a)(2)(ii)(D) of the CWCR).
Sec. Supplement No. 2 to Part 715--Examples of Unscheduled Discrete
Organic Chemicals (UDOCs) and UDOC Production
(1) Examples of UDOCs not subject to declaration include:
(i) UDOCs produced coincidentally as by-products that are not isolated for use or sale as a specific end product, and are routed to, or escape from, the waste stream of a stack, incinerator, or waste treatment system or any other waste stream;
(ii) UDOCs, contained in mixtures, which are produced coincidentally and not isolated for use or sale as a specific end-product;
(iii) UDOCs produced by recycling (i.e., involving one of the processes listed in paragraph (3) of this supplement) of previously declared UDOCs;
(iv) UDOCs produced by the mixing (i.e., the process of combining or blending into one mass) of previously declared UDOCs; and
(v) UDOCs that are intermediates and that are used in a single or multi-step process to produce another declared UDOC.
(2) Examples of UDOCs that you must declare under part 715 of the CWCR include, but are not limited to, the following, unless they are not isolated for use or sale as a specific end product:
(i) Acetophenone (CAS 98-86-2);
(ii) 6-Chloro-2-methyl aniline (CAS 87-63-8);
(iii) 2-Amino-3-hydroxybenzoic acid (CAS 548-93-6); and
(iv) Acetone (CAS 67-64-1).
(3) Examples of activities that are not considered ``production by synthesis'' under part 715 of the CWCR, which means the end products resulting from such activities would not be declared under part 715, are as follows:
(i) Fermentation;
(ii) Extraction;
(iii) Purification;
(iv) Distillation; and
(v) Filtration.

plant site to remain subject to the UDOC declaration requirements in
Sec. 715.1(a)(1). In this case, the due date for the Annual
Declaration on Past Activities will be December 15th of the current
calendar year, instead of February 28th of the next calendar year. [72 FR 14408, Mar. 28, 2007]
