DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY


Office of Arms Control and Nonproliferation; Proposed Subsequent 
arrangement

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Subsequent arrangement.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice has been issued under the authority of Section 131 
of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2160). The 
Department is providing notice of a proposed ``subsequent arrangement'' 
under the Agreement for Cooperation in the Peaceful Uses of Nuclear 
Energy between the United States and the European Atomic Energy 
Community (EURATOM).
    This subsequent arrangement concerns the addition of Brazil, 
Kazakhstan, Romania and Ukraine to the list of countries referred to in 
paragraph 2 of the Agreed Minute to the Agreement for Cooperation in 
the Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy, listing countries eligible to 
receive retransfers under Article 8.1(C)(i) of the Agreement of low 
enriched uranium, non-nuclear material, equipment and source material 
transferred under the Agreement, or receive retransfers of low enriched 
uranium produced through the use of nuclear material or equipment 
transferred under the Agreement, for nuclear fuel cycle activities 
other than the production of high enriched uranium.
    The United States has brought into force new Agreements for 
Cooperation in the Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy, under the authority 
of Section 123 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 
2160), with Brazil, Kazakhstan, Romania and Ukraine. These four 
countries have also made effective non-proliferation commitments as 
prescribed in paragraph 2 of the Agreed Minute to the U.S.-EURATOM 
Agreement. Accordingly, they are eligible third countries to which 
retransfers may be made.
    In accordance with Section 131 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as 
amended, we have determined that this subsequent arrangement will not 
be inimical to the common defense and security.
    This subsequent arrangement will take effect no sooner than fifteen 
days after the date of publication of this notice.
