SUMMARY: This notice is being issued under the authority of section 
131a. of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (hereinafter ``the 
Act''). 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 Government of the United States of America and the 
Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan Concerning Peaceful Uses of 
Nuclear Energy.

DATES: This subsequent arrangement will take effect no sooner than 
September 6, 2013.

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 700,888 g of U.S.-origin natural uranium oxide material, 
containing 5,005 g of the isotope U-235 (0.71% enrichment) and 
18,699,112 g of U.S.-origin enriched uranium oxide material, containing 
654,386 g of the isotope U-235 (less than five percent enrichment) in 
the form of uranium fuel fabrication scrap from Nuclear Fuel 
Industries, Ltd. in Minato-Ku, Tokyo, Japan, to Ulba Metallurgical 
Plant Joint Stock Company in Ust-Kamenogorsk, 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 where it will be 
fabricated into fuel pellets to be used by six electric utilities 
(Tohoku Electric Power Co., Inc., The Tokyo Electric Power Co., Inc., 
Chubu Electric Power Co., Inc., Hokuriku Electric Power Company, The 
Chugoku Electric Power Co., Inc., and the Japan Atomic Power Company). 
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 Act, 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: August 9, 2013.

    For the Department of Energy.

Deputy Administrator, Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation.
