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 Concerning Civil Uses of Atomic Energy Between the 
Government of the United States of America and the Government of 
Canada, as amended (the Agreement).

DATES: This subsequent arrangement will take effect no sooner than 
December 31, 2020.

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: 
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#a0d3c5c1ce8ecfc5c8ccc2c5d2d4e0ceced3c18ec4cfc58ec7cfd6"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="1c6f797d7232737974707e796e685c72726f7d32787379327b736a">[email protected]</span></a>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposed subsequent arrangement 
concerns the granting of advance consent to Canada, pursuant to 
paragraph D of Article XII of the Agreement, to retransfer unirradiated 
source material, unirradiated uranium enriched to less than 20% in the 
isotope U-235, and moderator material to member states of the European 
Atomic Energy Community (EURATOM), and to the United Kingdom of Great 
Britain and Northern Ireland (UK). Any such material transferred from 
Canada to EURATOM would be made subject 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 U.S.-
EURATOM 123 Agreement). Any such material transferred from Canada to 
the UK prior to the 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 (the U.S.-UK 123 Agreement) would be 
made subject to the U.S.-EURATOM 123 Agreement, and any such material 
transferred from Canada to the UK following the entry into force of the 
U.S.-UK 123 Agreement would be made subject to the U.S.-UK 123 
Agreement.
    Pursuant to the authority in section 131 a. 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.
