For the second phase of elimination: (a) The inspecting Party, immediately prior to the initiation of the elimination of the rocket motor cases of missile stages without nozzles attached, shall have the right to: (i) Confirm individually the dimensions of such rocket motor cases by external viewing and by measurement, at locations specified by a member of the in-country escort, of the diameter and of the length that contributes to the length of the assembled missile without front section for the first and second stages and the length and diameter of the rocket motor case of the third stage at its extreme points. (ii) Confirm the association of such rocket motor cases with the unique identifier of the missile to be eliminated. (b) If inspectors are unable to identify the rocket motor cases by viewing and measuring them, representatives of the inspected Party shall take steps to resolve the problem. 7. The inspected Party, immediately prior to the initiation of the first inspection conducted with respect to the phased elimination of SS-24 ICBMs, shall conduct a demonstration of all missile elements subject to elimination for each variant of the SS-24 ICBM and its launch canister. During such a demonstration, the inspecting Party shall have the right to confirm that the length of each such missile element corresponds to the length declared for that missile element for that variant of the SS-24 ICBM in the Annex to this Joint Statement, using equipment and procedures provided for in Annexes 8 and 11 to the Protocol on Inspections and Continuous Monitoring Activities Relating to the Treaty, hereinafter referred to as the Inspection Protocol. The inspecting Party shall also have the right to compare the unique identifiers on the launch canister and the first stage of each such missile. 8. The inspected Party shall provide to the inspecting Party, for each variant of the SS-24 ICBM, photographs of the missile elements subject to elimination, the lengths of which do not contribute to the length of the assembled missile without front section. Such photographs shall meet the criteria provided for in paragraph 10 of Annex J to the Memorandum of Understanding, and shall be provided no later than the beginning of the demonstration conducted in accordance with paragraph 7 of this Joint Statement. 9. The inspecting Party shall have the right to use the data provided in the Annex to this Joint Statement and the photographs of the missile elements subject to elimination for each variant of the SS-24 ICBM provided in accordance with this Joint Statement during conversion or elimination inspections for the purpose of confirming the type of ICBM and the missile elements subject to elimination. The results of each measurement of the dimensions that deviate by no more than three percent from the relevant data provided in the Annex to this Joint Statement shall be considered acceptable. 10. For an inspection conducted in accordance with this Joint Statement, the word “item” in subparagraph 4(c) of Section XI of the Inspection Protocol refers to the missile elements subject to elimination. 11. For an inspection conducted in accordance with this Joint Statement, the provisions of paragraph 1 of Section XVIII of the Inspection Protocol shall apply to the missile elements subject to elimination. The inspection report shall include the number of items subject to inspection which were observed during the inspection period, information that was used to associate the missile elements with the missile’s unique identifier, and all measurements taken to confirm the dimensions of the missile elements provided in the Annex to this Joint Statement. 12. The Parties understand that the provisions of paragraph 7 of Section I of the Conversion or Elimination Protocol shall be considered to have been fulfilled and the missile shall cease to be subject to the limitations provided for in the Treaty, once all the elements of the missile subject to elimination and its launch canister have been confirmed in accordance with this Joint Statement, the elimination processes for such missile elements and the launch canister in subparagraphs 4(b) and 4(c) and paragraph 5 of Section I of the Conversion or Elimination Protocol have been completed and observed by the inspecting Party, and the inspection report has been completed in accordance with paragraph 6 of Section I of the Conversion or Elimination Protocol for the second phase of the elimination for that missile.
