A list of the items, as well as their weight and size, that the U.S. intends to take out of the Russian Federation, as well as the approximate time frame for their removal. ¶2. The types of transport the U.S. plans to use to remove the items from the territory of the Russian Federation, with reference to the list of items, as well as the planned times of their use. ¶3. A list of items the U.S. intends to donate to organizations in the Russian Federation, a list of those organizations, and the approximate times when the items will be donated. ¶4. A list of the items the U.S. plans to sell commercially in the Russian Federation, the presumed purchasers (if they have been identified),as well as the approximate beginning and end of the sale period. ¶5. A list of the items the U.S. plans to dispose of in the Russian Federation, as well as the methods of disposal and the locations and time frames for this work, including who will perform the work. And, in this connection, restrictions (or special requirements) related to any fire, explosion or environmental hazard posed by the items or to any other condition of the items. ¶6. And other information, at the discretion of the U.S. side, that helps to increase the effectiveness of measures related to the completion of continuous monitoring activities. ¶7. Proposals regarding the removal of inspection and other equipment (including radiation detection equipment) from the points of entry.
