**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  I. Background

In August 2011, the Department of Energy (DOE) published a Notice of Availability announcing the Assured Fuel Supply (AFS), a backup supply of low-enriched uranium (LEU) available to domestic and foreign end-users in the event of a supply disruption in the nuclear fuel market. 76 FR 51357 (Aug. 18, 2011). The LEU that recipients will purchase from the AFS will be in the form of uranium hexafluoride at a specific assay (4.95% U–235). The U.S. Government will make no assurances about the material in the AFS beyond ensuring that Westinghouse, the private company storing the AFS LEU for DOE, can certify that the AFS LEU meets the ASTM International Standard Specification C996–04 E1 .

As part of the AFS program implementation, DOE is publishing this notice to provide guidance on the information it will consider in evaluating the requests of potential applicants for access to the AFS. II. Policy and Process for Accessing AFS Material
