ACTION:
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.

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
