BIS Seeking Comments on Impact of CWC Regulations

The Bureau of Industry and Security is seeking comments on how the Chemical Weapons Convention affected certain U.S. “commercial activities” this year, the agency said in a notice released Nov. 30. BIS plans to use the comments as it prepares its annual certification to Congress on whether CWC regulations on Schedule 1 chemicals harm “legitimate commercial activities and interests of chemical, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical firms.” Comments are due Dec. 31.
