SUMMARY: This notice is 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 Between the Government of the 
United States of America and the Swiss Federal Council Concerning 
Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy.
    This subsequent arrangement concerns the addition of Argentina, 
Brazil, Bulgaria, Kazakhstan, Romania, South Africa and Ukraine to the 
list of countries in Annex I to the Agreed Minute to the Agreement for 
Cooperation. As stated in paragraph B of the Agreed Minute, countries 
on the list are eligible to receive retransfers of source material, 
uranium other than high enriched uranium, moderator material and 
equipment transferred under Article 7 of the Agreement. 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 
Argentina, Brazil, Bulgaria, Kazahstan, Romania, South Africa and 
Ukraine. These seven countries have also made effective non-
proliferation commitments. 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
