DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Office of International Regimes and 

Agreements; Proposed Subsequent 

Arrangement 

AGENCY: Department of Energy. 

ACTION: Subsequent arrangement. 

SUMMARY: This notice has been 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 Between the Government of 

the United States of America and the 

Government of India Concerning 

Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy (‘‘the 

123 Agreement’’). 

This subsequent arrangement 

concerns the Arrangements and 

Procedures Agreed Between the 

Government of the United States of 

America and the Government of India 

Pursuant to Article 6(iii) of the 

Agreement for Cooperation Concerning 

Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy (‘‘the 

Arrangements and Procedures’’). The 

Arrangements and Procedures are 

proposed as part of the requirements for 

bringing into effect the rights conveyed 

by Article 6(iii) of the 123 Agreement 

regarding reprocessing or other 

alteration in form or content of nuclear 

material transferred pursuant to the 123 

Agreement and nuclear material and byproduct material used in or produced 

through the use of nuclear material, 

non-nuclear material, or equipment so 

transferred. These Arrangements and 

Procedures establish the conditions 

under which the Government of India 

may reprocess U.S.-obligated nuclear 

material within India at ‘‘a new national 

reprocessing facility dedicated to 

reprocessing safeguarded material under 

International Atomic Energy Agency 

safeguards’’ to be established by India. 

The Arrangements and Procedures will 

apply to the reprocessing of U.S.- 

obligated nuclear material at two such 

facilities within India. (Subject to the 

processing of additional subsequent 

arrangements, they may also apply to 

additional reprocessing facilities in the 

future.) The Arrangements and 

Procedures specify minimum 

requirements for reprocessing facility 

design, safeguards system design and 

installation, and implementation of 

IAEA safeguards at such facilities. The 

Arrangements and Procedures also 

specify an approach to implementation 

of the obligations in the 123 Agreement 

with respect to physical protection and 

storage of U.S.-obligated nuclear 

material at the new reprocessing 

facilities where U.S.-obligated nuclear 

material may be reprocessed. Finally, 

the Arrangements and Procedures 

establish a process under which the 

United States may suspend the 

reprocessing of U.S.-obligated nuclear 

material in India in exceptional 

circumstances, the circumstances of 

which are described in the 

Arrangements and Procedures. 

In accordance with section 131a(1) of 

the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as 

amended, I have determined that this 

subsequent arrangement is not inimical 

to the common defense and security. 

This subsequent arrangement will 

take effect no sooner than the later of: 

(1) The lapse of fifteen calendar days 

after the date of publication of this 

notice; (2) the lapse of fifteen days of 

continuous session after I have provided 

the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the 

House of Representatives and the 

Committee on Foreign Relations of the 

Senate a report stating the reasons for 

entering into this subsequent 

arrangement; and (3) the lapse of thirty 

days of continuous session after I have 

provided Congress the report required 

by section 201(b) of the United StatesIndia Nuclear Cooperation Approval 

and Nonproliferation Enhancement Act 

(Pub. L. 110–369). All of these time 

periods will run concurrently. 

Dated: May 11, 2010. 

Steven Chu, 

Secretary of Energy.

Current Connection, LLC; Notice of 

Preliminary Permit Application 

Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 

Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 

Competing Applications 

May 11, 2010. 

On March 30, 2010, Current 

Connection, LLC filed an application for 

a preliminary permit, pursuant to 

section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, 

proposing to study the feasibility of the 

St. Clair Hydrokinetic Project, located 

on the St. Clair River, in St. Clair 

County, Michigan. The sole purpose of 

a preliminary permit, if issued, is to 

grant the permit holder priority to file 

a license application during the permit 

term. A preliminary permit does not 

authorize the permit holder to perform 

any land-disturbing activities or 

otherwise enter upon lands or waters 

owned by others without the owners’ 

express permission. 

The proposed project would consist 

of: (1) The installation of 396 turbinegenerating units which will be arranged 

in 6 turbine farms with each farm 

consisting of 11 turbine groups, 

containing 6 units each; (2) a control 

house containing control and 

synchronizing panels, power 

conditioning equipment, protective 

relaying, and communications 

equipment; (3) a proposed 200-footlong, 46-kilovolt transmission line; and 

(4) appurtenant facilities. The proposed 

St. Clair Hydrokinetic Project would 

have an average annual generation of 

155 gigawatt-hours.
