Regulatory Changes To Implement the Additional Protocol to the 
US/IAEA Safeguards Agreement

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its 
regulations to implement the Protocol Additional to the Agreement 
Between the United States of America and the International Atomic 
Energy Agency for the Application of Safeguards in the United States of 
America (Additional Protocol). The Additional Protocol requires the 
U.S. to report additional information on various nuclear fuel cycle-
related activities and to provide the International Atomic Energy 
Agency (IAEA) with access to those locations beyond the information 
currently reported for nuclear facilities under the existing Agreement 
Between the United States of America and the International Atomic 
Energy Agency for the Application of Safeguards in the United States of 
America (Safeguards Agreement). The amended regulations codify the 
requirement for certain NRC and Agreement State licensees to report 
information and provide access under the Additional Protocol that are 
currently not subject to inspections or reporting under the Safeguards 
Agreement. These amendments enable the U.S. Government to meet its 
obligations related to the Safeguards Agreement and the Additional 
Protocol.

DATES: Effective Date: This final rule is effective December 23, 2008.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Naiem S. Tanious, Office of Federal 
and State Materials and Environmental Management Programs, U.S. Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, telephone (301) 415-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    The ``United States Additional Protocol Implementation Act'' (Title 
II of Pub. L. 109-401) assigns the President responsibility for 
implementing the Act and the U.S. Additional Protocol. Executive Order 
13458 assigned the U.S. Departments of State, Defense (DOD), Commerce 
(DOC), and Energy (DOE), the Attorney General, and the NRC 
responsibility for implementing the Additional Protocol. The NRC is 
assigned specific responsibility for implementing the Additional 
Protocol at NRC and Agreement State licensees (except at those 
facilities for which the DOE or DOD are assigned lead agency 
responsibility). The DOC is responsible for reportable commercial 
activities conducted outside of NRC-related activities. The Additional 
Protocol, on which the U.S. Senate provided its consent to ratification 
on March 31, 2004, is a legal document that requires the United States 
to report information on various nuclear fuel cycle-related activities 
to the IAEA and, upon request, to provide the IAEA with access to these 
locations in the U.S. Locations, information, and activities determined 
by the U.S. government to be of direct national security significance 
are excluded.
    The Additional Protocol augments the existing Safeguards Agreement 
by requiring the United States to provide the IAEA with information on 
civil nuclear and nuclear-related items, materials, and activities not 
presently covered, including but not limited to the following:
    a. Information about and IAEA inspector access to nuclear fuel 
cycle-related locations for which access is not already provided under 
the Safeguards Agreement (e.g., uranium mines and ore concentrate 
storage installations);
    b. Information on, and IAEA short-notice access to, all buildings 
on the sites of facilities selected by the IAEA from the U.S. Eligible 
Facilities List;
    c. Access for IAEA collection of environmental samples at locations 
where such sampling is specifically authorized by the U.S. Government;
    d. Information on research and development and manufacturing 
activities related to the nuclear fuel cycle; and
    e. Expanded reporting of exports and imports of specific equipment 
and non-nuclear material.
    The NRC is establishing these requirements to enable the United 
States to collect the information necessary to prepare the U.S. 
declaration to the IAEA.

that are amended to clarify their intent are Containment, Effective 
kilogram, Facility Attachment, Inventory change, and Transitional 
Facility Attachment. The definition of ``United States Eligibility 
Lists'' is deleted because it has been replaced by the definition of 
``Eligible Facilities List.'' The definition of ``Identification under 
the Agreement'' is deleted because it is defined in Sec.  75.11(a). The 
definition of ``Ore processing'' is also deleted. Previously, ore 
processing was excluded from Part 75, but it is now included in the 
Scope in Sec.  75.2. The definition of ``Installation'' is deleted 
because it has been replaced by the term ``Facility''.

otherwise specified). New Paragraph (b) requires that all necessary 
reports to the NRC under the Safeguards Agreement are to be in an 
appropriate computer-readable format. New paragraphs (c) and (d) 
specifically identify the information that must be submitted for 
facilities and locations under the Safeguards Agreement and Additional 
Protocol.

Section 75.7 Notification of IAEA Safeguards

    Section 75.7 discusses notifications of activities subject to the 
Safeguards Agreement and Additional Protocol.

    The original Sec.  75.8, Facility attachments is re-designated as 
Sec.  75.15. The new Sec.  75.8 is redesignated from Sec.  75.42. In 
addition, the new Sec.  75.8 is amended to include IAEA inspections for 
both facilities and locations. Paragraph (c) contains the requirements 
that were previously found in Sec.  75.41. The codified text is amended 
to include both the facilities and locations under the Safeguards 
Agreement and Additional Protocol. These requirements were moved based 
on the logic of discussing notification of IAEA safeguards near the 
beginning of Part 75.
    Paragraph (d) is amended to list the types of access by IAEA 
inspectors and the places to which they will have access. The section 
also includes the addition of ``Complementary Access'' in paragraph 
(d)(5) to verify the completeness and accuracy of reported information. 
Paragraph (d)(6) is added to allow IAEA access to additional licensee 
locations on which the U.S. did not submit reports to the IAEA under 
the Safeguards Agreement. Paragraph (e) is re-designated from Sec.  
75.42(d), and a new paragraph (e)(6) is added to state that the 
licensee shall permit the IAEA to perform other measures requested by 
the IAEA and approved by the NRC and other Federal agencies.
    Paragraph (f) is re-designated from Sec.  75.42(e). Paragraphs (e) 
and (f) are amended to distinguish them from complementary access. 
Paragraph (g) is added and states the type of activities that may be 
performed by IAEA in the performance of ``Complementary Access'' 
inspections at locations. These activities may include visual 
inspections, environmental sampling, use of radiation detection and 
measurement devices, applying tamper-indicating devices, performing 
sampling and nondestructive measurements, examining records, and other 
measures agreed upon by IAEA Board of Governors and following 
consultations between the IAEA and the U.S.
    For the purpose of the Additional Protocol, the U.S. as a nuclear 
weapon State, manages access as specified by procedures that may 
include the:
    (a) Removal of sensitive papers from office spaces; (b) shrouding 
of sensitive displays, stores and equipment;
    (c) Shrouding of sensitive pieces of equipment, such as computers 
or electronic systems;
    (d) Logging off computer systems and turning off data indicating 
devices;
    (e) Restriction of safeguards instrumentation or environmental 
sampling to the purpose of the access; and
    (f) In exceptional cases, giving only individual inspectors access 
to certain parts of the inspection location.

Section 75.9 Information Collection Requirements: OMB Approval

    This section is amended to include OMB approvals for the new forms 
developed to implement the Additional Protocol. The section is also 
amended to include OMB approvals for the new reporting burden under 
Part 75.
    The heading of Sec.  75.9, ``Installation Information,'' is amended 
to read, ``Facility and Location Information.''

Section 75.10 Facility Information

    This new section is added to include additional facility 
information requirements in new Sec.  75.10(b)(5). This includes a map 
of the site and information on the size of the buildings and the nature 
of the activities conducted in the building. Paragraph (d) states the 
forms that must be prepared for each facility. Paragraph (d)(7) has 
been re-designated from Sec.  75.14(a)(1) to require information on the 
facility's organizational responsibilities for material accounting and 
control. Paragraph (e) specifies how site information must be 
submitted. Paragraph (f) has been redesignated from Sec.  75.11(e) and 
amended to use the term ``facility.'' Paragraph (g) has been 
redesignated from Sec.  75.14(a)(2). Paragraph (h) requires information 
on the need to manage IAEA access to the facility.

Section 75.11 Location Information

    Section 75.11 is amended to include the information requirements 
for locations. Specific information on locations includes:
    (1) For nuclear fuel cycle related research and development, a 
general description, the location, and scale of operations;
    (2) For nuclear fuel-cycle related manufacturing and construction, 
a description of the scale of operations;
    (3) For uranium and thorium mine and concentration plants, the 
location, operational status, estimated annual production and capacity;
    (4) For impure source material, possession information;
    (5) For imports and exports of source material for non-nuclear end 
uses, the locations, quantities, chemical compositions, and use of the 
imported or exported materials;
    (6) For IAEA-exempted and terminated nuclear material, the 
quantities, uses, and locations of the nuclear material; and
    (7) For imports and exports of non-nuclear material and equipment, 
the location, quantity, and description of the equipment and materials.
    This section also lists the forms that must be prepared for each 
location and the timing of annual reports, and requires licensees to 
provide information on the need to manage IAEA access to the location.

Section 75.12 Reporting Information to IAEA

    Section 75.12 is amended to clarify the purpose of the section by 
changing the heading to ``Reporting information to IAEA.'' Other 
changes to the section

[[Page 78602]]

include adding references to Sec.  75.10 and Sec.  75.11 and using the 
terms ``facility'' and ``Safeguards Agreement.''

to have the facility attachment information follow the sections 
discussing submittal of facility information, on which it is based. 
Also, Sec.  75.15 is amended to reference new Sec.  75.10 and to use 
the terms ``facility'' and ``Safeguards Agreement.'' Paragraph (f) is 
added to clarify that locations reporting under the Additional 
Protocol, unless located in a facility selected under Article 39(b) of 
the main text of the Safeguards Agreement, do not have facility 
attachments or transitional Facility attachments. The heading of Sec.  
75.15, ``Material Accounting and Control,'' is amended to read, 
``Material Accounting and Control for Facilities.''

Section 75.21 General Requirements

    Section 75.21 is amended to reference new Sec.  75.10 and to use 
the terms ``facility'' and ``Safeguards Agreement.''

Section 75.31 General Requirements

    Section 75.31 is amended to reference Sec.  75.7 and to use the 
terms ``facility'' and ``Safeguards Agreement.''

Section 75.32 Initial Inventory Report

    Section 75.32 is amended to use the term ``facility.'' The term 
``computer-readable'' has been removed because Sec.  75.6(b) and Sec.  
75.31 require all reports to be in appropriate computer-readable 
format.

Section 75.33 Accounting Reports

    Section 75.33 is amended to remove the term ``computer-readable''

appropriate computer-readable format.

Section 75.34 Inventory Change Reports

    Section 75.34 is amended to use the term ``facility.'' The term

75.31 require all reports to be in appropriate computer-readable 
format.

Section 75.35 Accounting Reports

    Section 75.35 is amended to remove the term ``computer-readable'' 
because Sec.  75.6(b) and Sec.  75.31 require all reports to be in 
appropriate computer-readable format.

Section 75.36 Special Reports

    This section is amended to reference Sec.  75.7(b) and use the term 
``facility.''

Section 75.37 Disclosure of Reports to IAEA

    This section is removed because the requirements from this section 
were redundant with the requirements in Sec.  75.12.

Section 75.41 Designation

    This section is removed because the requirements have been moved to 
Sec.  75.8 which is a more logical location for this section.

Section 75.42 Inspections

    This section is removed because the requirements have been moved to 
Sec.  75.8 which is a more logical location for this section. A new

75.

Section 76.35 Contents of Application

    Paragraph (l) is amended to include applicants for a certificate 
and recipients of a certificate to submit information described in new 
Sec.  75.10. The section also permits verification of information by 
the IAEA and requires applicants for a certificate, and recipients of a 
certificate to take other actions as necessary to implement the 
Safeguards Agreement as described in Part 75.

Section 95.36 Access by Representatives of the International Atomic 
Energy Agency or by Participants in Other International Agreements

    Section 95.36(a) is amended to reference Sec.  75.8. Sections 
95.36(b)(1) and (b)(2) are amended to reference Sec.  75.8.

Section 110.11 Export of IAEA Safeguards Samples

    This section is amended to reference Sec.  75.8.

    Paragraph 150.8(c)(3) is added to include the OMB approval control 
number for DOC/NRC Forms AP-1, AP-A, and associated forms.

Section 150.17a Compliance With Requirements of US/IAEA Safeguards 
Agreement

    Section 150.17a is amended to use the terms ``facility,'' 
``location,'' and ``Eligible Facilities List'' and references to 
revised sections of Part 75. The section is also amended to require 
Agreement State licensees (and applicants) that possess source or 
special nuclear material to meet the requirements of Part 75. Section 
150.17a(c) is removed because it is no longer accurate with respect to 
the current US/IAEA Safeguards Agreement. Section 150.17a(d) is 
redesignated as Sec.  150.17a(c). Also, the reference to source 
material in amounts greater than one effective kilogram is deleted 
because licensees in addition to those possessing source and special 
nuclear material may be required to report information under the 
Additional Protocol.

Notice and Comment Waiver

    Because the substance of the amendments made by this rule involves 
a foreign affairs function of the U.S., the notice and comment 
provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act do not apply [5 U.S.C. 
553(a)(1)]. These regulations codify explicit obligations established 
by treaty or statute which the NRC has no discretion or authority to 
modify, thus rendering public comment unnecessary.

[[Page 78603]]

Criminal Penalties

    For the purpose of section 223 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as 
amended (AEA), the Commission is issuing the final rule to amend 10 CFR 
Parts 30, 40, 50, 60, 61, 63, 70, 72, 75, 76, 95, 110, and 150 under 
one or more of sections 161b, 161i, or 161o of the AEA. Willful 
violations of the rule will be subject to criminal enforcement.

Agreement State Compatibility

    Under the ``Policy Statement on Adequacy and Compatibility of 
Agreement State Programs'' approved by the Commission on June 30, 1997, 
and published in the Federal Register on September 3, 1997 (62 FR 
46517), this rule is classified as Compatibility Category ``NRC.'' 
Compatibility is not required for Category ``NRC'' regulations. The NRC 
program elements in this category are those that relate directly to 
areas of regulation reserved to the NRC by the Atomic Energy Act of 
1954, as amended, or the provisions of Title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations. Although an Agreement State may not adopt program elements 
reserved to NRC, it may wish to inform its licensees of certain 
requirements via a mechanism that is consistent with the particular 
State's administrative procedure laws but does not confer regulatory 
authority on the State.

Voluntary Consensus Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995, 
Public Law 104-113, requires that Federal agencies use technical 
standards that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus 
standards bodies unless using such a standard is inconsistent with 
applicable law or is otherwise impractical. In this final rule, the NRC 
is modifying its regulations to implement the Protocol Additional to 
the Agreement Between the United States of America and the 
International Atomic Energy Agency for the Application of Safeguards in 
the United States of America (Additional Protocol). There are no 
voluntary consensus standards available or applicable to implement the 
Additional Protocol. Additionally, this action does not constitute the 
establishment of a standard that establishes generally applicable 
requirements.

Environmental Impact: Categorical Exclusion

    The NRC has determined that this final rule is the type of action 
described in categorical exclusion 10 CFR 51.22(c)(1) and (c)(3); 
therefore, neither an environmental impact statement nor an 
environmental assessment has been prepared for this final rule.

Paperwork Reduction Act Statement

    This final rule imposes new or amended information collection 
requirements contained in 10 CFR Parts 30, 40, 50, 60, 61, 63, 70, 72, 
75, 76, 95, 110, and 150, that are subject to the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). These requirements were approved 
by OMB, approval numbers 3150-0017, 3150-0020, 3150-0011, 3150-0127; 
3150-0135; 3150-0199; 3150-0009; 3150-0132; 3150-0055; 3150-0047; 3150-

    The burden to the public for these information collections is 
estimated to average 10 hours per response. This includes the time for 
reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and 
maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the 
information collection. The burden for the information collections in 
10 CFR Parts 30, 40, 50, 60, 61, 63, 70, 72, 75, 76, 95, 110, and 150 
are covered by the information collection requirements in 10 CFR Part 
75 (3150-0055). Send comments on any aspect of these information 
collections, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to the 
Records and FOIA/Privacy Services Branch (T-5 F53), U.S. Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, or by Internet 
electronic mail to [email protected]; and to the Desk 
Officer, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, NEOB-10202, 
(3150-0055), Office of Management and Budget, Washington, DC 20503 or 
by Internet electronic mail to [email protected].

Public Protection Notification

    The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to 
respond to, a request for information for an information collection 
requirement unless the requesting document displays a currently valid 
OMB control number.

Regulatory Analysis

    A regulatory analysis has not been prepared for this regulation. 
The information reported is necessary to satisfy U.S. Government 
obligations with IAEA under the Agreement Between the United States of 
America and the International Atomic Energy Agency for the Application 
of Safeguards in the United States of America (Safeguards Agreement) 
and the Protocol Additional to the Agreement Between the United States 
of America and the International Atomic Energy Agency for the 
Application of Safeguards in the United States of America (Additional 
Protocol).

Backfit Analysis

    The NRC has determined that the backfit rule (Sec.  50.109, Sec.  
70.76, Sec.  72.62, or Sec.  76.76) does not apply to this final rule 
because this amendment does not involve any provisions that would 
impose backfits as defined in the backfit rule. Therefore, a backfit 
analysis is not required.

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act

    Under the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 
1996, the NRC has determined that this action is not a major rule and 
has verified this determination with the Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs of OMB.

35. Section 75.8 is revised to read as follows:


Sec.  75.8  IAEA inspections.

    (a) As provided in the Safeguards Agreement and Additional 
Protocol, inspections may be ad hoc, routine, special, or a 
complementary access (or a combination of the foregoing). The 
objectives of the IAEA inspectors in the performance of inspections are 
as follows:
    (1) Ad hoc inspections to verify information contained in the 
licensee's, applicant's, or certificate holder's facility information 
or initial inventory report, or to identify and verify changes in the 
situation which have occurred after the initial inventory reporting 
date at any location where the initial inventory report or any 
inspections carried out indicate that nuclear material subject to 
safeguards under the Safeguards Agreement may be present;
    (2) Ad hoc inspections to identify and, if possible, verify the 
quantity and composition of the nuclear material referred to in 
notifications specified under Sec.  75.43(b) (pertaining to exports) or 
Sec.  75.43(c) (pertaining to imports) at any place where nuclear 
material may be located;
    (3) Routine inspections are conducted as specified by the facility 
attachments referred to in Sec.  75.15 to verify nuclear material and 
as-built facility design at the strategic points and the records 
maintained under this part;

[[Page 78610]]

    (4) Special inspections may be conducted at any of the places 
specified above and any additional places where the Commission (in 
coordination with other Federal agencies), in response to an IAEA 
request, finds access to be necessary;
    (5) Complementary access may be conducted at a location, using 
measures permitted under the Additional Protocol and as specified by 
managed access procedures, for the IAEA inspectors to verify the 
completeness and accuracy of the information provided on DOC/NRC Form 
AP-1 or AP-A and associated forms; and
    (6) Complementary access must be provided at any additional 
locations where the Commission (in coordination with other Federal 
agencies), in response to an IAEA request, finds access to be 
necessary.
    (b) The NRC will notify the applicant, licensee, or certificate 
holder of each such inspection or complementary access in writing as 
soon as possible after receiving the IAEA's notice from the U.S. 
Department of State. The applicant, licensee, or certificate holder 
should consult with the Commission immediately if the inspection or 
complementary access would unduly interfere with its activities or if 
its key personnel cannot be available.
    (c) Each applicant, licensee, or certificate holder subject to the 
provisions of this part shall recognize as a duly authorized 
representative of the IAEA any person bearing IAEA credentials for whom 
the NRC has provided written or electronic authorization that the IAEA 
representative is permitted to conduct inspection activities on 
specified dates. If the IAEA representative's credentials have not been 
confirmed by the NRC, the applicant, licensee, or certificate holder 
shall not admit the person until the NRC has confirmed the person's 
credentials. The applicant, licensee, or certificate holder shall 
notify the Commission promptly, by telephone, whenever an IAEA 
representative arrives at a facility or location without advance 
notification. The applicant, licensee, or certificate holder shall also 
contact the Commission, by telephone, within one hour with respect to 
the credentials of any person who claims to be an IAEA representative 
and shall accept written or electronic confirmation of the credentials 
from the NRC. Confirmation may be requested through the NRC Operations 
Center (commercial telephone number 301-816-5100).
    (d) Each applicant, licensee, or certificate holder subject to the 
provisions of this part shall allow the IAEA opportunity to conduct an 
NRC-approved inspection or complementary access of the facility or 
location to verify the information submitted under Sec. Sec.  75.10, 
75.11, and 75.31 through 75.43. The NRC will assign an employee to 
accompany IAEA representative(s) at all times during the inspection or 
complementary access. The applicant, licensee, or certificate holder 
may accompany IAEA representatives who inspect or access the facility 
or location. The IAEA representatives should not be delayed or 
otherwise impeded in the exercise of their duties.
    (e) Each applicant, licensee, or certificate holder shall permit 
the IAEA, in conducting an ad hoc, routine, or special inspection at a 
facility, to:
    (1) Examine records kept under Sec.  75.21;
    (2) Observe that the measurements of nuclear material at key 
measurement points for material balance accounting are representative;
    (3) Verify the function and calibration of instruments and other 
measurement control equipment;
    (4) Observe that samples at key measurement points for material 
balance accounting are taken in accordance with procedures that produce 
representative samples, observe the treatment and analysis of the 
samples, and obtain duplicates of these samples;
    (5) Arrange to use the IAEA's own equipment for independent 
measurement and surveillance; and
    (6) Perform other measures requested by the IAEA and approved by 
the NRC.
    (f) Each applicant, licensee, or certificate holder shall, at the 
request of an IAEA inspector during an ad hoc, routine, or special 
inspection at a facility:
    (1) Ship material accountancy samples taken for the IAEA's use, in 
accordance with applicable packaging and export licensing regulations, 
by the method of carriage and to the address specified by the 
inspector; and
    (2) Take other actions contemplated by the Safeguards Agreement, 
and included in the safeguards approach approved by the United States 
and the IAEA, including but not limited to the following examples:
    (i) Enabling the IAEA to arrange to install its equipment for 
measurement and surveillance;
    (ii) Enabling the IAEA to apply its seals and other identifying and 
tamper-indicating devices to containers;
    (iii) Making additional measurements and taking additional samples 
for the IAEA's use;
    (iv) Analyzing the IAEA's standard analytical samples;
    (v) Using appropriate standards in calibrating instruments and 
other equipment; and
    (vi) Carrying out other calibrations.
    (g) Each applicant, licensee, or certificate holder shall permit 
the IAEA, in conducting complementary access at a location, under the 
provisions of the Additional Protocol and subsidiary arrangements, to:
    (1) Perform visual observations and record observations as 
photographs;
    (2) Conduct environmental sampling, when authorized by the U.S. 
Government;
    (3) Use radiation detection and measurement devices;
    (4) Apply seals and other identifying and tamper-indicating 
devices;
    (5) Perform nondestructive measurements and sampling;
    (6) Examine records relevant to quantities, origin, and disposition 
of materials to confirm the accuracy of the information provided under 
Sec.  75.11;
    (7) Examine safeguards-relevant production and shipping records; 
and
    (8) Other objective measures that have been demonstrated to be 
technically feasible and the use of which has been agreed upon by the 
IAEA Board of Governors and following consultations between the IAEA 
and U.S. Government.
    (h) Nothing in this section requires or authorizes an applicant, 
licensee, or certificate holder to carry out any operation that would 
otherwise constitute a violation of the terms of any applicable 
license, regulation, or order of the Commission.

40. In Sec.  75.12, paragraphs (a), (b), and (d) are revised to read as 
follows:


Sec.  75.12  Reporting information to IAEA.

    (a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, the Commission 
will furnish to the IAEA all information submitted under Sec. Sec.  
75.10, 75.11, and 75.31 through 75.43.
    (b)(1) An applicant, licensee, or certificate holder may request 
that information of particular sensitivity, that it customarily holds 
in confidence, not be transmitted physically to the IAEA. An applicant, 
licensee, or certificate holder who makes this request shall, at the 
time the information is submitted, identify the pertinent document or 
part thereof and make a full statement of the reasons supporting the 
request. The applicant, licensee, or certificate holder shall retain a 
copy of the request and all documents related to the request as a 
record until the Commission terminates the license or certificate for 
each facility or location involved with the request, or until the 
Commission notifies the applicant, licensee, or certificate holder that 
the applicant, licensee, or certificate holder is no longer under the 
Safeguards Agreement. Superseded material must be retained for 3 years 
after each change is made.
    (2) In considering such a request, it is the policy of the 
Commission to achieve an effective balance between legitimate concerns 
of licensees, applicants, or certificate holders, including protection 
of the competitive position of the owner of the information, and the 
undertaking of the United States to cooperate with the IAEA to 
facilitate the implementation of the safeguards provided for in the 
Safeguards Agreement and Additional Protocol. The Commission will take 
into account the obligation of the IAEA to take every precaution to 
protect commercial and industrial secrets and other confidential 
information coming to its knowledge in the implementation of the 
Safeguards Agreement and Additional Protocol.
    (3) A request made under Sec.  2.390 of this chapter will not be 
treated as a request under this section unless the application makes 
specific reference to this section, nor shall a determination to 
withhold information from public disclosure necessarily require a 
determination that such information not be transmitted physically to 
the IAEA.
    (4) If a request is granted, the Commission will determine a 
location where the information will remain readily available for 
examination by the IAEA and will so inform the applicant, licensee, or 
certificate holder. The applicant, licensee, or certificate holder 
shall retain this information as a record until the Commission 
terminates the license or certificate for the facility involved with 
the request or until the Commission notifies the applicant, licensee, 
or certificate holder that the applicant, licensee, or certificate 
holder is no longer under the Safeguards Agreement. Superseded material 
must be retained for 3 years after each change is made.
* * * * *
    (d) Where consistent with the Safeguards Agreement, the Commission 
may at its own initiative, or at the request of a licensee, determine 
that any information submitted under Sec. Sec.  75.10, and 75.11 shall 
not be physically transmitted to, or made available for examination by, 
the IAEA.
