ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
Mission Description
The United States Department of
Commerce (DOC) International Trade
Administration’s (ITA) Manufacturing
and Services (MAS) and U.S. and
Foreign Commercial Service (CS) units
are organizing an executive-led Civil
Nuclear Trade Policy Mission to Hanoi,
Vietnam and to Beijing and Sanmen,
China from May 16–23, 2013.
Participants may elect to participate in
both the Vietnam and China portions of
the mission, or only one of these
countries. The purpose of the mission is
to connect U.S. companies with key
contacts in the target markets and to
promote market policies and procedures
that enable U.S. companies to gain
robust access to commercial
opportunities in these markets. As an
optional day prior to the start of the
trade mission, in Hanoi, Vietnam, trade
mission participants will have the
opportunity to observe the U.S.Association of Southeast Asian Nations
(ASEAN) 1 Energy Cooperation—
Subsector Network workshop on civil
nuclear power on May 16, 2013.
Vietnam and China offer abundant
opportunities to civil nuclear
companies. According to the China
Nuclear Power Middle and Long Term
Plan 2005–2020, China’s nuclear power
installed capacity will reach 60 million
to 70 million kilowatts, and the total
investment in the nuclear power market
will be more than 450 billion yuan (U.S.
$72 billion) by 2020.2 China’s nuclear
industry is expected to grow to nearly
$300 billion by 2020 and commercial
opportunities in Vietnam are currently
estimated at $10 billion and are
expected to grow to $50 billion by 2030.
The Civil Nuclear Trade Policy
Mission offers a timely and costeffective means for U.S. firms to engage

with key stakeholders and to enter the
promising Chinese and Vietnamese
markets for civil nuclear goods and
services. Target subsectors holding high
potential for U.S civil nuclear exporters
include: Legal and advisory services;
engineering, procurement and
construction; operators and
maintenance providers; component
manufacturers; and the fuel subsector,
including mining, enrichment, fuel
fabrication, transport and storage. There
are also opportunities for collaboration
on education and research and
development with U.S. universities and
research institutions. A U.S. government
delegation with senior officials from the
U.S. Departments of Commerce, Energy
and State, as well as the White House,
will accompany participants during the
mission to serve as advisors and civil
nuclear subject matter experts.
This mission will contribute to the
President’s National Export Initiative
(NEI, www.export.gov/nei) and the
DOC’s Civil Nuclear Trade Initiative
(CNTI, https://export.gov/civilnuclear/
index.asp), by assisting U.S. businesses
in entering or expanding in
international markets, and enhancing
U.S. exports.
Eligible mission participants include
representatives of U.S. companies from
across the civil nuclear supply chain,
including entities providing related
services to the industry such as
universities and research institutions, as
well as U.S. trade associations in the
civil nuclear industry whose members
have both commercial and policy
interests in China and Vietnam. The
mission will help U.S. companies and
U.S. trade associations gain market
insights, make industry contacts,
solidify business strategies, and identify
or advance specific projects with the
goal of increasing U.S. civil nuclear
exports to China and to Vietnam. The
schedule will include business
appointments with pre-screened
potential buyers, agents, distributors
and joint venture partners; meetings
with national and regional government
officials; and networking events. This
mission also will provide venues for
senior U.S. government officials and
participating organizations to meet with
Chinese and Vietnamese officials to
discuss timely nuclear issues. The
mission will allow U.S. companies and
trade associations to be part of an
official U.S. government delegation,
rather than traveling to China or
Vietnam individually, and enhances
their ability to secure desired meetings.
The delegation will be comprised of at
least 15 U.S. companies and trade
associations.

In November 2009, President Obama
signed a Joint Statement at the first U.S.ASEAN Leaders’ Meeting that included
the following: ‘‘the United States
proposed that the U.S. Secretary of
Energy and the ASEAN Ministers on
Energy meet in 2010 to advance energy
security and clean energy and to explore
cooperation in renewable and
alternative energy * * * Under the
ASEAN Energy Cooperation—Subsector
Network, the U.S. government finalized
an energy work plan that includes
nuclear. A number of the countries in
ASEAN are considering nuclear energy
for power generation as a long-term
option. The U.S.-ASEAN workshop on
civil nuclear power serves as a forum for
the U.S. mission participants to gain
substantive insights on each of the ten
member countries’ energy plans,
including nuclear developments and
planning horizons. In addition, there
will be networking opportunities for
mission delegates to meet and speak
with representatives from the ASEAN
member countries.
Commercial Setting
Vietnam: From 2000 until 2012,
Vietnam’s annual GDP growth rate
averaged 6.6 percent, reaching an alltime high of 8.5 percent in December
2007. Its energy mix in 2010 was 38
percent hydro, 31.4 percent gas, 18.5
percent coal, and 12.1 percent other
fuels.3 Demand is growing rapidly,
resulting in electricity rationing.
Electricity demand growth has been 14
percent per year. In July 2011, in the
aftermath of the March 2011 Fukushima
accident, the Prime Minister approved
the National Master Plan for Electricity
Development for 2011–2020 with the
Vision to 2030. The government
specified Ninh Thuan 1 & 2 Nuclear
Power Plants (NPP) with a total of eight
1000 MWe reactors coming on line
annually from 2020–2027. In March
2012, the Vietnamese government restated that it would continue to
implement its nuclear power program
and deploy the Ninh Thuan NPPs in
cooperation with Russia. Vietnam may
be the first Southeast Asian country to
build a NPP. The goal for this segment
of the mission is to help U.S. suppliers
establish a ‘‘foothold’’ in the Vietnamese
market as the country develops its
nuclear power program.
China: Since 1979, China’s GDP has
grown at an average rate of almost ten
percent annually and in 2009 China
surpassed the United States to become
the world’s largest energy consumer.
Nearly eighty percent of China’s

electricity is produced from fossil fuel
(mostly coal) and 18 percent from
hydro, with a small percentage
produced from renewable sources.
Nuclear power supplies 2 percent of
China’s electricity. China has the fastest
growing nuclear energy program in the
world. There are currently 16 reactors in
operation and nearly 30 under
construction employing technologies
from France, Canada, Russia and the
United States.4 In October 2012, Premier
Wen Jiabao outlined a modified
approach to nuclear power development
that takes a steady pace to build NPPs
and will comply with new generation
safety standards. The revised nuclear
capacity target for 2020 is now 58 GWe.
During the same timeframe, the State
Council approved the 12th Five-Year
Plan for Nuclear Safety and Radioactive
Pollution Prevention and Vision for
2020, in which China plans to spend
RMB 80 billion ($13 billion) on
improving nuclear safety at plants
already in operation as well as those
currently under construction or planned
over the next three years. The planned
inland sites have been put on hold until
after 2015.
• China has three state-owned
enterprises (SOEs) that are permitted to
own NPPs:
Æ China National Nuclear
Corporation (CNNC);
Æ China Guangdong Nuclear Power
Corporation (CGNPC); and
Æ China Power Investment
Corporation (CPI)
• China also has set up additional
SOEs to undertake NPP construction
and other business activities, including:
Æ China Nuclear Power Engineering
Company;
Æ China Guangdong Engineering
Company;
Æ State Nuclear Power Engineering
Company;
Æ China Power Investment Nuclear
Engineering Company;
Æ China Nuclear Engineering and
Construction Corporation; and
Æ State Nuclear Power Technology
Corporation (SNPTC) is undertaking
AP1000 technology and developing the
CAP1400.
The governmental organizations that
are responsible for nuclear energy
development in China are the State
Council, the National Energy
Administration (NEA), the China
Atomic Energy Authority (CAEA), and
the National Nuclear Safety
Administration (NNSA).

• The State Council is the highest
executive body of state power and
administration responsible for carrying
out principles and policies as well as
the regulations and laws.
• The NEA, an independent
ministerial level agency within the
National Development and Reform
Commission, is responsible for nuclear
power development and nuclear
industry management;
• The CAEA, an agency under the
Ministry of Industry and Information, is
responsible for nuclear fuel cycle
industry management and nuclear
emergency preparedness and response.
• The NNSA under the Ministry of
Environment Protection is responsible
for nuclear safety regulation and
licensing and regulating nuclear
installations, components, and
materials.
Ultimately, China’s long-term nuclear
energy policy goals are to establish
indigenous assembly, fabrication, and
nuclear fuel production capability;
maximize domestic manufacturing of
power plants and equipment with selfreliance in design and management; and
to establish and enhance international
cooperation to establish their own
reactor market, aimed at exporting its
own reactors in the future. However, in
the near-term, China will rely on
existing equipment and services in the
global supply chain.
Mission Goals
The goal of the Civil Nuclear Trade
Policy Mission to Vietnam and China is
to promote exports of civil nuclear
goods and services and encourage
market policies and procedures that
enable U.S. companies to gain robust
access to commercial opportunities in
these markets.
In Vietnam, the mission will help U.S.
companies and trade associations
investigate potential opportunities, and
educate Vietnamese stakeholders on
U.S. nuclear energy capabilities. The
mission also will include a best
practices seminar to discuss the
challenges countries face when first
developing a nuclear energy program.
These activities will contain a strong
trade promotion component and also
seek to address the policy challenges to
U.S. civil nuclear energy companies
operating or seeking to operate in this
country. While in Hanoi, trade mission
participants will participate in the U.S.ASEAN workshop on civil nuclear
power, enabling networking
opportunities with ASEAN government
officials and industry experts and
promoting U.S. civil nuclear
technologies and services.
In China, the mission will clarify for
U.S. companies and trade associations
how to access commercial opportunities
in various sectors of China’s nuclear
energy industry, will seek to increase
awareness of U.S. nuclear industry
capabilities among Chinese government
officials at the central and provincial
government levels, and will connect
U.S. companies and trade associations
with appropriate decision-makers.
Mission Scenario 5
Prior to the start of the trade mission,
on May 16 in Hanoi, trade mission
participants will have the option to
observe the U.S.-ASEAN civil nuclear
power workshop. The workshop will
include five panel sessions on topics
ranging from nuclear infrastructure to
waste management and fuel services,
and a discussion on the essential
elements in developing a safe and
secure nuclear power program. ASEAN
representatives will discuss the
appropriateness of new technologies to
their country’s particular circumstances
and learn about developing a robust
regulatory and legal framework for
safety and liability.
On May 17 in Hanoi, trade mission
participants will receive a U.S. Embassy
briefing, and meet with senior
Vietnamese officials at the Ministry of
Science and Technology, the Ministry of
Industry and Trade, and executives from
Electricity Vietnam. Participants will
attend a luncheon with remarks by the
Commerce official leading the trade
mission, the U.S. Ambassador to
15353
Vietnam and officials from the
Government of Vietnam (GOV). In
addition, there will be a seminar on best
practices where trade mission
participants will share their experience
from projects in other markets and
Vietnamese participants will discuss
opportunities for U.S. companies in
Vietnam. Vietnamese participants in the
seminar on best practices include:
Vietnam Atomic Energy Institute
(VINATOM), Vietnam Agency for
Radiation and Nuclear Safety and
Control (VARANS), Electricity Vietnam
(EVN), and the Ministry of Industry and
Trade. In the evening, mission
participants will meet with Vietnamese
Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung and
attend a farewell dinner with the U.S.
government delegation, Vietnamese
government officials and mission
participants.
On May 20 in Beijing, trade mission
participants will participate in an
Embassy briefing, meet with Chinese
government officials (NEA, CAEA,
NNSA, Ministry of Commerce, CNNC,
SNPTC, CPI and CGNPC) and take part
in business appointments with privatesector organizations. In addition, they
will enjoy a networking reception
hosted by U.S. Ambassador Gary Locke
and attended by representatives of
Chinese industry and government
officials and other key stakeholders.
On May 23 in Sanmen, trade mission
participants will have meetings with
key civil nuclear Chinese government
and industry officials and visit the
Sanmen AP1000 nuclear power plant.
A U.S. government delegation, which
will include senior officials from the
U.S. Departments of Commerce, Energy
and State, and the White House, will
accompany participants during the
mission. Trade mission participants will
be counseled before and after the
mission by CS China and CS Vietnam
staff and other federal agencies actively
involved in nuclear energy trade
promotion activities in Vietnam and

This request is for a new information
collection.
Under the authority of the Marine
Debris Research, Prevention, and
Reduction Act (Marine Debris Act of
2012, 33 U.S.C. 1951 et seq., as
amended by Title VI of Public Law 112–

(MDD) is conducting a pilot project
designed to assess the economic benefits
to beach visitors of marine debris
removal. The project will use a revealed
preference valuation approach (a
random utility travel cost model) to
assess benefits associated with marine
debris removal at selected beaches in
Southern California. The MDD intends
to conduct a mail survey of Orange
County, California households in order
to gather beach trip data required to
estimate the model. The pilot project

U.S. Civil Nuclear Trade Policy Mission to Hanoi, Vietnam & Beijing
and Sanmen, China; May 16-23, 2013
AGENCY: International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mission Description
The United States Department of Commerce (DOC) International Trade
Administration's (ITA) Manufacturing and Services (MAS) and U.S. and
Foreign Commercial Service (CS) units are organizing an executive-led
Civil Nuclear Trade Policy Mission to Hanoi, Vietnam and to Beijing and
Sanmen, China from May 16-23, 2013. Participants may elect to
participate in both the Vietnam and China portions of the mission, or
only one of these countries. The purpose of the mission is to connect
U.S. companies with key contacts in the target markets and to promote
market policies and procedures that enable U.S. companies to gain
robust access to commercial opportunities in these markets. As an
optional day prior to the start of the trade mission, in Hanoi,
Vietnam, trade mission participants will have the opportunity to
observe the U.S.-Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) \1\
Energy Cooperation--Subsector Network workshop on civil nuclear power
on May 16, 2013.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ ASEAN Member countries include, Brunei, Burma, Cambodia,
Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and
Vietnam. The ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation 2010-2015
noted one of its strategic goals as being ``regional capacity
building in nuclear energy for regulators, operators and relevant
educational institutions, among other things through training,
workshop, seminar and information exchange.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vietnam and China offer abundant opportunities to civil nuclear
companies. According to the China Nuclear Power Middle and Long Term
Plan 2005-2020, China's nuclear power installed capacity will reach 60
million to 70 million kilowatts, and the total investment in the
nuclear power market will be more than 450 billion yuan (U.S. $72
billion) by 2020.\2\ China's nuclear industry is expected to grow to
nearly $300 billion by 2020 and commercial opportunities in Vietnam are
currently estimated at $10 billion and are expected to grow to $50
billion by 2030.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ As reported by the United States Embassy to China in
Beijing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Civil Nuclear Trade Policy Mission offers a timely and cost-
effective means for U.S. firms to engage
[[Page 15352]]
with key stakeholders and to enter the promising Chinese and Vietnamese
markets for civil nuclear goods and services. Target subsectors holding
high potential for U.S civil nuclear exporters include: Legal and
advisory services; engineering, procurement and construction; operators
and maintenance providers; component manufacturers; and the fuel
subsector, including mining, enrichment, fuel fabrication, transport
and storage. There are also opportunities for collaboration on
education and research and development with U.S. universities and
research institutions. A U.S. government delegation with senior
officials from the U.S. Departments of Commerce, Energy and State, as
well as the White House, will accompany participants during the mission
to serve as advisors and civil nuclear subject matter experts.
This mission will contribute to the President's National Export
Initiative (NEI, www.export.gov/nei) and the DOC's Civil Nuclear Trade
Initiative (CNTI, https://export.gov/civilnuclear/index.asp), by
assisting U.S. businesses in entering or expanding in international
markets, and enhancing U.S. exports.
Eligible mission participants include representatives of U.S.
companies from across the civil nuclear supply chain, including
entities providing related services to the industry such as
universities and research institutions, as well as U.S. trade
associations in the civil nuclear industry whose members have both
commercial and policy interests in China and Vietnam. The mission will
help U.S. companies and U.S. trade associations gain market insights,
make industry contacts, solidify business strategies, and identify or
advance specific projects with the goal of increasing U.S. civil
nuclear exports to China and to Vietnam. The schedule will include
business appointments with pre-screened potential buyers, agents,
distributors and joint venture partners; meetings with national and
regional government officials; and networking events. This mission also
will provide venues for senior U.S. government officials and
participating organizations to meet with Chinese and Vietnamese
officials to discuss timely nuclear issues. The mission will allow U.S.
companies and trade associations to be part of an official U.S.
government delegation, rather than traveling to China or Vietnam
individually, and enhances their ability to secure desired meetings.
The delegation will be comprised of at least 15 U.S. companies and
trade associations.
In November 2009, President Obama signed a Joint Statement at the
first U.S.-ASEAN Leaders' Meeting that included the following: ``the
United States proposed that the U.S. Secretary of Energy and the ASEAN
Ministers on Energy meet in 2010 to advance energy security and clean
energy and to explore cooperation in renewable and alternative energy *
* * Under the ASEAN Energy Cooperation--Subsector Network, the U.S.
government finalized an energy work plan that includes nuclear. A
number of the countries in ASEAN are considering nuclear energy for
power generation as a long-term option. The U.S.-ASEAN workshop on
civil nuclear power serves as a forum for the U.S. mission participants
to gain substantive insights on each of the ten member countries'
energy plans, including nuclear developments and planning horizons. In
addition, there will be networking opportunities for mission delegates
to meet and speak with representatives from the ASEAN member countries.
Commercial Setting
Vietnam: From 2000 until 2012, Vietnam's annual GDP growth rate
averaged 6.6 percent, reaching an all-time high of 8.5 percent in
December 2007. Its energy mix in 2010 was 38 percent hydro, 31.4
percent gas, 18.5 percent coal, and 12.1 percent other fuels.\3\ Demand
is growing rapidly, resulting in electricity rationing. Electricity
demand growth has been 14 percent per year. In July 2011, in the
aftermath of the March 2011 Fukushima accident, the Prime Minister
approved the National Master Plan for Electricity Development for 2011-
2020 with the Vision to 2030. The government specified Ninh Thuan 1 & 2
Nuclear Power Plants (NPP) with a total of eight 1000 MWe reactors
coming on line annually from 2020-2027. In March 2012, the Vietnamese
government re-stated that it would continue to implement its nuclear
power program and deploy the Ninh Thuan NPPs in cooperation with
Russia. Vietnam may be the first Southeast Asian country to build a
NPP. The goal for this segment of the mission is to help U.S. suppliers
establish a ``foothold'' in the Vietnamese market as the country
develops its nuclear power program.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ Vietnam Atomic Energy Agency's Presentation to IAEA, March
2012.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
China: Since 1979, China's GDP has grown at an average rate of
almost ten percent annually and in 2009 China surpassed the United
States to become the world's largest energy consumer. Nearly eighty
percent of China's electricity is produced from fossil fuel (mostly
coal) and 18 percent from hydro, with a small percentage produced from
renewable sources. Nuclear power supplies 2 percent of China's
electricity. China has the fastest growing nuclear energy program in
the world. There are currently 16 reactors in operation and nearly 30
under construction employing technologies from France, Canada, Russia
and the United States.\4\ In October 2012, Premier Wen Jiabao outlined
a modified approach to nuclear power development that takes a steady
pace to build NPPs and will comply with new generation safety
standards. The revised nuclear capacity target for 2020 is now 58 GWe.
During the same timeframe, the State Council approved the 12th Five-
Year Plan for Nuclear Safety and Radioactive Pollution Prevention and
Vision for 2020, in which China plans to spend RMB 80 billion ($13
billion) on improving nuclear safety at plants already in operation as
well as those currently under construction or planned over the next
three years. The planned inland sites have been put on hold until after
2015.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ This information is in accordance with reports from the U.S.
Embassy in Beijing and the World Nuclear Association, https://www.world-nuclear.org/info/inf63.html (2013).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
China has three state-owned enterprises (SOEs) that are
permitted to own NPPs:
[cir] China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC);
[cir] China Guangdong Nuclear Power Corporation (CGNPC); and
[cir] China Power Investment Corporation (CPI)
China also has set up additional SOEs to undertake NPP
construction and other business activities, including:
[cir] China Nuclear Power Engineering Company;
[cir] China Guangdong Engineering Company;
[cir] State Nuclear Power Engineering Company;
[cir] China Power Investment Nuclear Engineering Company;
[cir] China Nuclear Engineering and Construction Corporation; and
[cir] State Nuclear Power Technology Corporation (SNPTC) is
undertaking AP1000 technology and developing the CAP1400.
The governmental organizations that are responsible for nuclear
energy development in China are the State Council, the National Energy
Administration (NEA), the China Atomic Energy Authority (CAEA), and the
National Nuclear Safety Administration (NNSA).
[[Page 15353]]
The State Council is the highest executive body of state
power and administration responsible for carrying out principles and
policies as well as the regulations and laws.
The NEA, an independent ministerial level agency within
the National Development and Reform Commission, is responsible for
nuclear power development and nuclear industry management;
The CAEA, an agency under the Ministry of Industry and
Information, is responsible for nuclear fuel cycle industry management
and nuclear emergency preparedness and response.
The NNSA under the Ministry of Environment Protection is
responsible for nuclear safety regulation and licensing and regulating
nuclear installations, components, and materials.
Ultimately, China's long-term nuclear energy policy goals are to
establish indigenous assembly, fabrication, and nuclear fuel production
capability; maximize domestic manufacturing of power plants and
equipment with self-reliance in design and management; and to establish
and enhance international cooperation to establish their own reactor
market, aimed at exporting its own reactors in the future. However, in
the near-term, China will rely on existing equipment and services in
the global supply chain.
Mission Goals
The goal of the Civil Nuclear Trade Policy Mission to Vietnam and
China is to promote exports of civil nuclear goods and services and
encourage market policies and procedures that enable U.S. companies to
gain robust access to commercial opportunities in these markets.
In Vietnam, the mission will help U.S. companies and trade
associations investigate potential opportunities, and educate
Vietnamese stakeholders on U.S. nuclear energy capabilities. The
mission also will include a best practices seminar to discuss the
challenges countries face when first developing a nuclear energy
program. These activities will contain a strong trade promotion
component and also seek to address the policy challenges to U.S. civil
nuclear energy companies operating or seeking to operate in this
country. While in Hanoi, trade mission participants will participate in
the U.S.-ASEAN workshop on civil nuclear power, enabling networking
opportunities with ASEAN government officials and industry experts and
promoting U.S. civil nuclear technologies and services.
In China, the mission will clarify for U.S. companies and trade
associations how to access commercial opportunities in various sectors
of China's nuclear energy industry, will seek to increase awareness of
U.S. nuclear industry capabilities among Chinese government officials
at the central and provincial government levels, and will connect U.S.
companies and trade associations with appropriate decision-makers.
