DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Proposed Subsequent Arrangement
AGENCY: National Nuclear Security Administration, Department of Energy.
ACTION: Proposed subsequent arrangement.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document is being issued under the authority of the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended. The Department is providing
notice of a proposed subsequent arrangement under the Agreement for
Cooperation in the Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy between the United
States of America and the European Atomic Energy Community.
DATES: This subsequent arrangement will take effect no sooner than
April 2, 2019.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Mr. Sean Oehlbert, Office of Nonproliferation and Arms Control,
National Nuclear Security Administration, Department of Energy.
Telephone: 202-586-3806 or email: [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposed subsequent arrangement
concerns the addition of Egypt, Indonesia, Morocco, Turkey, Ukraine,
United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, and Vietnam to the list of
countries referred to in paragraph 2 of the Agreed Minute to the
Agreement for Cooperation in the Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy
between the United States of America and the European Atomic Energy
Community (the Agreement), listing countries eligible to receive
retransfers under Article 8.1(C)(i) of the Agreement of low enriched
uranium, non-nuclear material, equipment and source material
transferred pursuant to the Agreement, and low enriched uranium
produced through the use of nuclear material or equipment transferred
pursuant to the Agreement, for nuclear fuel cycle activities other than
the production of high enriched uranium. Paragraph 2 of the Agreed
Minute to the Agreement provides that third countries on the U.S.
advance consent list must have made effective non-proliferation
commitments and must be a party to a nuclear cooperation agreement with
the United States. Each of the countries being added to the U.S.
advance consent list, except for the United Kingdom, meets these
criteria. The United Kingdom will meet these criteria and be eligible
to receive retransfers upon entry into force of the Agreement between
the Government of the United States of America and the Government of
the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland for
Cooperation in Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy.
Pursuant to the authority in section 131a. of the Atomic Energy Act
of 1954, as delegated, I have determined that this proposed subsequent
arrangement will not be inimical to the common defense and security of
the United States of America.
Dated: March 5, 2019.
For the Department of Energy.
Brent K. Park,
Deputy Administrator, Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation.
