DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY


Office of International Regimes and Agreements; Proposed 
Subsequent Arrangement

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of proposed 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 Between the United States of 
America and the Government of the Argentine Republic Concerning 
Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy and the Agreement Between the United 
States of America and Australia Concerning Peaceful Uses of Nuclear 
Energy.
    This subsequent arrangement concerns the retransfer of 1.84 grams 
of uranium, 1.64 grams of which is in the isotope U-235, from the 
Comision Nacional De Energia Atomica (CNEA), Ezeiza, Argentina, to the 
Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization (ANSTO) in Lucas 
Heights, Australia. The material, which is currently in the form 
uranium ore concentrates (U3O8) and is located at CNEA's 
Instrumentation and Control Department, will be transferred to ANSTO 
for use at the Australian Replacement Research Reactor as internal 
sensitive material of five fission counters. CNEA originally obtained 
the material from the United States under a general license.
    In accordance with Section 131 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as 
amended, we have determined that this subsequent arrangement is not 
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.

    Dated: March 12, 2009.

    For the Department of Energy.
Richard Goorevich,
Director, Office of International Regimes and Agreements.
