        <Identifier>Part IV, Supplemental Information:</Identifier>
        <Explanation>Part III-B, Line 4 Chloropicrin Manufacturers' Task Force issues a separate assessment to members in regards to lobbying expenses. Statements equally allocating the total lobbying expenses are sent to members every two months. The lobbying assessment is in addition to a regular assessment that is in regards to data development and only applies to a few of the members that participate in that area. Every two months, the lobbying assessment is based on the lobbying expenses, therefore the nondeductible portion of the dues will always be equal to the lobbying expenses.</Explanation>

      <GeneralExplanation>
        <Identifier>Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 6</Identifier>
        <Explanation>The organization has members of two separate classes. Each class has specific interests and participation that limit their voting rights. Members are either categorized as Class 1 members or Associate members. All members are part of the board and vote on issues that affect their class. Class 1 members are involved exclusively on data development research and are the only members that vote in regards to data development. Both Class 1 and Associate members are involved with lobbying and vote in regards to lobbying.</Explanation>
      </GeneralExplanation>
      <GeneralExplanation>
        <Identifier>Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7a</Identifier>
        <Explanation>Every member of the board of directors has that position because they represent an organization that is a paid member of the Chloropicrin Manufacturers' Tast Force. Members do not technically elect other members to sit on the board because, by virtue of being a member, they are also on the board. Each member has a vote on the activities of the organization. There are two classes of membership in the organization, Class 1 Members and Associate Members. Class 1 Members can vote on all issues, including those related to data development and lobbying. Associate members also vote on the organization's general activities, including lobbying, but do not have input into the data development activities of the organization.</Explanation>
      </GeneralExplanation>
      <GeneralExplanation>
        <Identifier>Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7b</Identifier>
        <Explanation>Decisions of the organization are subject to approval by members of the organization who also are considered members of the board. Members will vote on specific interests as their types of class allow them to. Class 1 members vote on all activities, including lobbying and data development. Associate members can vote on all activities, including lobbying, but do not participate in any decisions related to data development.</Explanation>
      </GeneralExplanation>
      <GeneralExplanation>
        <Identifier>Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11</Identifier>
        <Explanation>The Chairman of the board of directors will perform a detailed review of the Form 990 after it is prepared by the entity's CPA firm. All members of the Board will receive a copy of the Form 990 prior to filing. After any neccessary changes are made, the organization will circulate the final copies to every member.</Explanation>
