With the exception of those activities 

identified in Article II.1 through 4, this 

Agreement may be amended, upon 

application by the Commonwealth and 

approval by the Commission, to include 

one or more of the additional activities

Commission may from time to time by 

rule, regulation, or order, require that 

the manufacturer, processor, or 

producer of any equipment, device, 

commodity, or other product containing 

source, byproduct, or special nuclear 

material shall not transfer possession or 

control of such product except pursuant 

to a license or an exemption from 

licensing issued by the Commission. 

Article V 

This Agreement shall not affect the 

authority of the Commission under 

Subsection 161b or 161i of the Act to 

issue rules, regulations, or orders to 

protect the common defense and 

security, to protect restricted data, or to 

guard against the loss or diversion of 

special nuclear material. 

Article VI 

The Commission will cooperate with 

the Commonwealth and other 

Agreement States in the formulation of 

standards and regulatory programs of 

the Commonwealth and the 

Commission for protection against 

hazards of radiation and to assure that

programs for protection against hazards 

of radiation will be coordinated and 

compatible. 

The Commonwealth agrees to 

cooperate with the Commission and 

other Agreement States in the 

formulation of standards and regulatory 

programs of the Commonwealth and the 

Commission for protection against 

hazards of radiation and to assure that 

the Commonwealth’s program will 

continue to be compatible with the 

program of the Commission for the

Article VII 

The Commission and the 

Commonwealth agree that it is desirable 

to provide reciprocal recognition of 

licenses for the materials listed in

by any other Agreement State. 

Accordingly, the Commission and the 

Commonwealth agree to develop 

appropriate rules, regulations, and 

procedures by which such reciprocity 

will be accorded. 

Article VIII 

The Commission, upon its own 

initiative after reasonable notice and 

opportunity for hearing to the 

Commonwealth, or upon request of the 

Governor of the Commonwealth, may

emergency situation exists requiring 

immediate action to protect public 

health and safety and the 

Commonwealth has failed to take 

necessary steps. The Commission shall 

periodically review actions taken by the 

Commonwealth under this Agreement 

to ensure compliance with Section 274 

of the Act which requires a 

Commonwealth program to be adequate 

to protect public health and safety with 

respect to the materials covered by this 

Agreement and to be compatible with 

the Commission’s program.

This Agreement shall become 

effective on March 31, 2009, and shall

Commission. The Order therefore 

prohibits Mr. Himat Soni from any 

involvement in NRC-licensed activities 

for a period of one year from the 

effective date of the Order.

being reviewed under emergency review 

procedures for use in complying with 

reporting requirements under section 

1512 of the American Recovery and 

Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 

111–5) (‘‘Recovery Act’’). The title of the 

standard data element set is ‘‘Standard 

Data Elements for Reports under Section 

1512 of the American Recovery and

agency must require its recipients of 

grants, cooperative agreements and 

loans made under the Recovery Act to 

report the information and data 

electronically through a central 

Governmentwide portal or through an 

agency information collection process. 

Information on the reporting procedures 

will be posted to http:// 

www.federalreporting.gov once 

available. Recipients of Recovery Act 

funded grants, cooperative agreements 

and loans may collect the data and 

information approved under this 

approved information collection from 

their subrecipients and subcontractors. 

A standard information collection for 

recipients of Recovery Act funded 

contracts directly awarded by the 

Federal government is being reviewed 

under a separate information collection 

process.
