arrangement under the Agreement for Cooperation in the Peaceful Uses of 
Nuclear Energy Between the European Atomic Energy Community (EURATOM) 
and the United States of America and the Agreement for Cooperation 
between the Government of the United States of America and the 
Government of Norway Concerning Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy.

DATES: This subsequent arrangement will take effect no sooner than 
January 31, 2014.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Katie Strangis, Office of 
Nonproliferation and International Security, National Nuclear Security 
Administration, Department of Energy. Telephone: 202-586-8623 or email: 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This subsequent arrangement concerns a 
request for a three-year extension (April 2014 to April 2017) of the 
current programmatic approval for retransfer of U.S.-obligated 
irradiated fuel rods between Studsvik Nuclear AB, Sweden, and Institutt 
for Energiteknikk, IFE facilities Halden and Kjeller, Norway. The rods 
are being transferred for irradiation service, various tests and 
examinations, and will be returned to Studsvik Nuclear, Sweden for 
further test and final disposal. The total shipping amounts will be the 
same as allowed under the current approval--a maximum of 30,000 grams 
uranium, 400 grams U-235 and 400 grams plutonium in all shipments, 
combined, with a maximum of 100 grams of plutonium per shipment.
    The current extension was approved in April 2011 and published in 
the Federal Register on March 29, 2011, (76 FR 17406) and is set to 
expire April 2014. If approved, the new extension, for three years, 
will extend to April 2017. Additional transactions are scheduled to 
occur between April 2014 and April 2017 and will be subject to the 
U.S.-EURATOM Agreement for Cooperation in the Peaceful Uses of Nuclear 
Energy.
    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 of the United 
States of America.

    Dated: December 17, 2013.

    For the Department of Energy.
Anne M. Harrington,
Deputy Administrator, Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation.
