exit from the European Atomic Energy 

Community (EURATOM). Exports of 

EURATOM-obligated and Canadianobligated source material to the U.K. are 

currently not authorized. 

DATES: This Order is effective on

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

United States engages in significant 

nuclear cooperation with other nations, 

including the authorized distribution of 

source material, pursuant to the terms of 

an Agreement for Cooperation in 

Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy (123 

Agreement). ConverDyn currently holds 

two specific licenses, XSOU8846/01 and 

XSOU8789/07, authorizing the export of 

source material to several countries 

including the U.K. ConverDyn’s export 

licenses were issued under the legal 

framework of the 123 Agreement 

between the U.S. and EURATOM. 

On December 31, 2020, the U.K. will 

exit from EURATOM, and on January 1, 

2021, a 123 Agreement between the U.S. 

and the U.K. will enter into force. The 

U.S. Government has already made 

arrangements with the Government of 

the U.K. for this transition to occur on 

January 1, 2021 for all NRC-licensed 

exports to the U.K. However, beginning 

on January 1, 2021, the NRC is currently 

unable to authorize the export of 

EURATOM-obligated and Canadianobligated material from the U.S. to the 

U.K., until pre-approval to retransfer 

such material to the U.K. is received 

from EURATOM or the Canadian 

government, respectively. 

This suspension is required as an 

operation of law and only applies to 

exports of EURATOM-obligated or 

Canadian-obligated source material to 

the U.K. The NRC is reproducing the 

text of the order as an attachment to this 

Federal Register notice. 

Dated: December 17, 2020.

Attachment—Order Suspending Export 

Licenses 

Order Modifying Licenses To Suspend 

Certain Exports to the United Kingdom 

(Effective January 1, 2021) 

I 

ConverDyn (or ‘‘the licensee’’) holds 

specific licenses XSOU8846/01 and 

XSOU8789/07 issued by the U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) 

pursuant to Sections 62 and 127 of the 

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended 

(AEA) and 10 CFR part 110. These 

specific licenses authorize the export of 

source material to France, Germany, the 

Netherlands, and the United Kingdom 

(U.K.) under the terms of an Agreement 

for Cooperation in Peaceful Uses of 

Nuclear Energy (123 Agreement) 

between the United States (U.S.) and the 

European Atomic Energy Community 

(EURATOM). 

II 

On December 31, 2020, the formal 

transition period marking the United 

Kingdom’s (U.K.) exit from the 

European Union (EU) will end. On this 

date, the U.K. will also exit from 

EURATOM. On January 1, 2021, the 

U.S./U.K.123 Agreement will enter into 

force. At that time, ConverDyn’s export 

licenses, XSOU8846/01 and XSOU8789/ 

07 will authorize exports to France, 

Germany, and the Netherlands under 

the legal framework of the U.S./ 

EURATOM 123 agreement and will 

authorize exports to the U.K. under the 

legal framework of the U.S./U.K. 123 

Agreement. After the U.K. exits 

EURATOM, the NRC is prohibited from 

authorizing any exports of EURATOMobligated material from the U.S. to the 

U.K. until EURATOM, pursuant to the 

U.S./EURATOM 123 agreement, 

provides its pre-approval to retransfer 

EURATOM-obligated material from the 

U.S. to the U.K. The NRC is likewise 

prohibited from authorizing any exports 

of Canadian-obligated material from the 

U.S. to the U.K. until the Government of 

Canada, pursuant to the U.S./Canada 

123 Agreement, provides its preapproval to retransfer Canadianobligated material to the U.K. 

The U.S. Government has already 

made arrangements with the 

Government of the U.K. for the 

transition from the U.S./EURATOM 123 

Agreement to the U.S./U.K. 123 

Agreement to automatically occur on 

January 1, 2021, for all NRC-approved 

export licenses to the U.K. However, the 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
83630 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 246 / Tuesday, December 22, 2020 / Notices 

U.S. Government cannot authorize the 

export of EURATOM-obligated or 

Canadian-obligated material from the 

U.S. to the U.K. without prior approval 

for retransfer from EURATOM or the 

Canadian government, respectively. 

Therefore, beginning on January 1, 2021, 

ConverDyn will no longer be authorized 

to export EURATOM-obligated and 

Canadian-obligated material to the U.K. 

under licenses XSOU8846/01 and 

XSOU8789/07 until such prior approval 

is received. 

III 

Accordingly, pursuant to Sections 62, 

64, 123, 127, 161b, 161i, 183, and 186 

of the AEA, and 10 CFR 110.50(a)(1) and 

(2) and 110.52, IT IS HEREBY 

ORDERED, EFFECTIVE January 1, 2021, 

THAT LICENSES XSOU8846/01 AND 

XSOU8789/07 ARE MODIFIED AS 

FOLLOWS: 

A. The licensee’s authorization to export 

EURATOM-obligated material to the U.K. is 

suspended, and such exports are prohibited, 

until the licensee receives notice from the 

NRC that the United States Government has 

obtained EURATOM’s pre-approval, 

pursuant to the U.S./EURATOM 123 

Agreement, to retransfer EURATOMobligated material to the U.K. When the 

licensee receives such notice from the NRC, 

this provision of the Order will expire 

without any further action by the NRC. 

B. The licensee’s authorization to export 

Canadian-obligated material to the U.K. is 

suspended, and such exports are prohibited, 

until the licensee receives notice from the 

NRC that the United States Government has 

obtained Canada’s approval, pursuant to the 

U.S./Canada 123 Agreement, to retransfer 

Canadian-obligated material to the U.K. 

When the licensee receives such notice from 

the NRC, this provision of the Order will 

expire without any further action by the 

NRC. 

The NRC finds that this action is 

required by operation of law and the 

common defense and security of the 

United States. Therefore, in accordance 

with 10 CFR 110.52(c), the licensee 

need not be afforded an opportunity to 

reply and be heard prior to issuance of 

this Order.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

4007 of title IV of the Employee 

Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 

(ERISA) requires pension plans covered 

under title IV pension insurance 

programs to pay premiums to PBGC. All 

plans covered by title IV pay a flat-rate 

per-participant premium. An 

underfunded single-employer plan also 

pays a variable-rate premium based on 

the value of the plan’s unfunded vested 

benefits. 

Pursuant to section 4007, PBGC has 

issued its regulation on Payment of 

Premiums (29 CFR part 4007). Under 

§ 4007.3 of the premium payment 

regulation, the plan administrator of 

each pension plan covered by title IV of 

ERISA is required to file a premium 

payment and information prescribed by 

PBGC for each premium payment year. 

Premium information is filed 

electronically using ‘‘My Plan 

Administration Account’’ (‘‘My PAA’’) 

through PBGC’s website. Under 

§ 4007.10 of the premium payment 

regulation, plan administrators are 

required to retain records about 

premiums and information submitted in 

premium filings. 

Premium filings report (i) the flat-rate 

premium and related data (all plans), (ii) 

the variable-rate premium and related 

data (single-employer plans), and (iii) 

additional data such as identifying 

information and miscellaneous planrelated or filing-related data (all plans). 

PBGC needs this information to identify 

the plans for which premiums are paid, 

to verify whether the amounts paid are 

correct, to help PBGC determine the 

magnitude of its exposure in the event 

of plan termination, to help track the 

creation of new plans and transfer of 

participants and plan assets and 

liabilities among plans, and to keep 

PBGC’s insured-plan inventory up to 

date. That information and the retained 

records are also needed for audit 

purposes. 

PBGC intends to modify the 2021 

premium filing to require certain plans 

that transferred assets to another plan 

(or received assets from another plan) at 

the beginning of the plan year to report 

additional information about the 

transfer. More specifically, such plans 

will be required to report whether the 

transfer was de minimis and, in the case 

of a de minimis merger, whether the 

transferee plan had fewer assets than the 

transferor plan. This information is 

necessary to verify that the date 

reported as the ‘‘participant count date’’ 

(i.e., the date as of which participants 

are counted for premium purposes) is 

correct. 

PBGC also intends to update the 

premium rates and make conforming, 

clarifying, and editorial changes. One 

such change, to conform with the 

Setting Every Community Up for 

Retirement Enhancement (SECURE) Act 

of 2019, is adding the option of ‘‘CSEC
