What is a Chemical Weapon/Chemical Weapon Precursor?
For the purposes of CFATS, Chemical Weapons and Chemical Weapon Precursors (CW/CWP) are actual chemical weapons agents and their precursors included, among others, in the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) and regulated by the Departments of Commerce and State, who jointly administer the Chemical Weapon Convention regulations (CWCR). Additional information on the treatment of CW/CWP under CFATS can be found in the preamble to Appendix A to CFATS at 72 FR 65404.
