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.
