The Department is providing notice of a proposed ``subsequent arrangement'' under the Agreement for Cooperation in the Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy between the United States and the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom) and the Agreement for Cooperation in the Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy between the United States and Canada. This subsequent arrangement concerns the retransfer of 325,443.8 kg of Natural UF6 (67.6% U), containing 220,000 kg of Uranium. This material will be retransferred from Cameco Corporation, Port Hope Ontario, to Urenco Ltd., Alemlo, Netherlands to be enriched and returned to the United States for use as fuel in the nuclear power plants by the Pacific Gas and Electric Company, Pismo Beach, CA.
