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 

Concerning Civil Uses of Atomic Energy 

Between the Government of the United 

States of America and the Government 

of Canada and the Agreement for 

Cooperation in the Peaceful Uses of 

Nuclear Energy between the United 

States of America and the European 

Atomic Energy Community (Euratom). 

DATES: This subsequent arrangement 

will take effect no sooner than 

September 14, 2018. 

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: 

sean.oehlbert@nnsa.doe.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

subsequent arrangement concerns the 

retransfer of 369,822,000 g of U.S.- 

obligated natural uranium hexafluoride 

UF6 (67.6%), 250,000,000 g of which is 

uranium, from Cameco Corporation 

(Cameco) in Ontario, Canada, to 

URENCO Ltd. in Capenhurst, United 

Kingdom. The material, which is 

currently located at Cameco in Port 

Hope, Ontario, Canada, will be used for 

toll enrichment by URENCO at its 

facility in Capenhurst, United Kingdom. 

The material was originally obtained by 

Cameco from Cameco Resources—Crow 

Butte Operation, pursuant to export 

license XSOU8798. 

In accordance with section 131a. of 

the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as 

amended, it has been determined that 

this subsequent arrangement concerning 

the retransfer of nuclear material of 

United States origin will not be inimical 

to the common defense and security of 

the United States of America. 

Dated: August 1, 2018. 

For the Department of Energy. 

Brent K. Park, 

Deputy Administrator, Defense Nuclear 

Nonproliferation.

U.S. Department of Energy 

Information Collection Extension 

AGENCY: Office of Fossil Energy, 

Department of Energy (DOE). 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: FE invites public comments 

on the proposed collection of 

information, Form FE–746R Natural Gas 

Imports and Exports, as required under 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. 

FE requests a three-year extension, with 

changes, of Form FE–746R, OMB 

Control Number 1901–0294. Form FE– 

746R collects information from 

prospective and actual importers and 

exporters of natural gas. Data collected 

on Form FE–746R are published by 

DOE’s Office of Fossil Energy (FE) in 

monthly and quarterly publications, and 

are republished by EIA as part of its 

natural gas supply and demand 

statistics. Additionally, the data enable 

FE to monitor trade activity and support 

FE’s market and regulatory analyses. 

DATES: FE must receive all comments on 

this proposed information collection no 

later than October 29, 2018. 

ADDRESSES: Send your comments to 

Marc Talbert, FE–34, U.S. Department of 

Energy, Office of Oil and Natural Gas, 

Office of Fossil Energy, P.O. Box 44375, 

Washington, DC 20026–4375. 

Submission by email to marc.talbert@

hq.doe.gov is recommended. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If 

you need additional information or 

copies of the information collection 

instrument, contact Marc Talbert by 

telephone at (202) 586–7991, or by 

email at marc.talbert@hq.doe.gov. 

Access to the proposed form and 

instructions can be found at http://

energy.gov/fe/services/natural-gasregulationlguidelines-filingmonthlyreports. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

information collection request contains: 

(1) OMB No. 1901–0294; 

(2) Information Collection Request 

Title: Natural Gas Import and Export 

Application; 

(3) Type of Request: Renewal with 

changes; 

(4) Purpose: The Federal Energy 

Administration Act of 1974 (15 U.S.C. 

761 et seq.) and the DOE Organization 

Act (42 U.S.C. 7101 et seq.) require EIA 

to carry out a centralized, 

comprehensive, and unified energy 

information program. This program 

collects, evaluates, assembles, analyzes, 

and disseminates information on energy 

resource reserves, production, demand, 

technology, and related economic and 

statistical information. This information 

is used to assess the adequacy of energy 

resources to meet near and longer term 

domestic demands. 

EIA, as part of its effort to comply 

with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), provides 

the general public and other Federal 

agencies with opportunities to comment 

on collections of energy information 

conducted by or in conjunction with 

EIA. DOE’s Office of Fossil Energy (FE) 

is delegated the authority to regulate 

natural gas imports and exports under 

section 3 of the Natural Gas Act of 1938, 

15 U.S.C. 717b. In order to carry out its 

delegated responsibility, FE requires 

those persons seeking to import and/or 

export natural gas to file an application 

providing basic information on the 

scope and nature of the proposed 

import/export activity. Once an 

importer and/or exporter receives 

authorization from FE, they are required 

to submit monthly reports of all import 

and/or export transactions. Form FE– 

746R collects critical information on 

U.S. natural gas trade including: name 

of the importer/exporter; country of 

origin/destination; international point of 

entry/exit; name of supplier; volume; 

price; transporter; geographic market 

served; and duration of supply contract 

on a monthly basis. The data are 

aggregated and the statistical aggregates 

are published in Natural Gas Imports 

and Exports, The Natural Gas Monthly, 

and other reports produced by FE and 

EIA. The data are used to ensure 

compliance with the terms and 

conditions of the authorizations. In 

addition, the data are used to monitor 

North American gas trade, which, in 

turn, enables the Federal government to 

perform market and regulatory analyses; 

improve the capability of industry and 

the government to respond to any future 

energy-related supply problems; and 

keep the general public informed of 

international natural gas trade. 

(4a) Proposed Changes to Information 

Collection: Form FE–746 collects 

information for all modes of natural gas 

transportation that are used for 

importing to and/or exporting from the 

United States, including by pipeline 

and, in the case of liquefied natural gas 

(LNG), imports and exports by vessel. 

FE proposes a change to the 

confidentiality policy for select 

information reported on Form FE–746R. 

Under FE’s current practice, FE 

publishes aggregate price information 

for natural gas imports and exports by 

pipeline at the point of entry or exit, but 

publishes prices at the cargo level for 

exports and imports of LNG by vessel.
