ACTION: Proposed subsequent arrangement.

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

SUMMARY: This notice is being issued under the authority of section 
131a.of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended. 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 Government of Japan Concerning Peaceful Uses of 
Nuclear Energy and the Agreement for Cooperation Between the United 
States of America and the Republic of Kazakhstan Concerning Peaceful 
Uses of Nuclear Energy.

DATES: This subsequent arrangement will take effect no sooner than June 
28, 2012.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Sean Oehlbert, Office of 
Nonproliferation and International Security, National Nuclear Security 
Administration, Department of Energy. Telephone: 202-586-3806 or email: 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This subsequent arrangement concerns the 
retransfer of 6,672,212 g of U.S.-origin enriched uranium fuel 
fabrications scrap, containing 233,977 g of the isotope U-235 (less 
than five percent enrichment), from Nuclear Fuel Industries, Ltd. in 
Minato-Ku, Tokyo, Japan, to Ulba Metallurgical Plant in Ust-Kamengorsk, 
Kazakhstan. The material, which is currently located at Nuclear Fuels 
Industries, Ltd. in Japan, will be transferred to Ulba Metallurgical 
Plant for the purpose of recovering uranium from fuel fabrication scrap 
for return to Japan where it will be fabricated into fuel pellets to be 
used by Kansai Electric Power Co., in Osaka, Japan. The material was 
originally obtained by Nuclear Fuel Industries, Ltd. from nuclear fuel 
manufacturers in the United States pursuant to several Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission licenses.
    In accordance with section 131a.of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, 
as amended, it has been determined that this subsequent arrangement 
concerning the retransfer of nuclear material of United States origin 
will not be inimical to the common defense and security.

    Dated: May 21, 2012.

    For the Department of Energy.

Deputy Administrator, Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation.
