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 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

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 e-
mail: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#77241216195938121f1b1512050337191904165913181259101801"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="540731353a7a1b313c3836312620143a3a27357a303b317a333b22">[email protected]</span></a>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This subsequent arrangement concerns a 
request for a three-year extension (April 2011 to April 2014) of the 
current programmatic approval for retransfer of U.S.-obligated 
irradiated fuel rods between Studsvik Nuclear AB, Sweden, and Institutt 
for Energiteknikk, Norway. The rods are being transferred for 
irradiation service, tests and examinations, and will be returned to 
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 original programmatic consent was approved in June 2006 and 
published in the Federal Register June 13, 2006, (71 FR 34080). A one-
year extension was approved in January 2007 and published in the 
Federal Register January 23, 2007, (72 FR 2876). A three-year extension 
was approved in March 2008 and published in the Federal Register March 
5, 2008, (73 FR 11894). The current extension is set to expire April 
2011. If approved, the third extension, for three years, will extend to 
April 2014. Additional transactions are scheduled to occur between 
April 2011 and April 2014 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 
will not be inimical to the common defense and security.

    Dated: March 8, 2011.

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