ACTION: Subsequent arrangement. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 131 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2160), notice is hereby given of a proposed ``subsequent arrangement'' under the Agreement for Cooperation for Civil Uses of Atomic Power between the United States and the Republic of Argentina, and the Agreement for Cooperation for Civil Uses of Atomic Power between the United States and Brazil. The subsequent arrangement to be carried out under the above- mentioned agreements involves the conclusion of protocols concerning the suspension of the application of safeguards by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) under the Safeguards Transfer Agreement between the Republic of Argentina, the United States of America and the IAEA, signed June 13, 1969; and the Safeguards Transfer Agreement between the Federative Republic of Brazil, the United States of America and the IAEA, signed March 10, 1967, and amended July 27, 1972. These agreements will be replaced by a Quadripartite Agreement between Argentina, Brazil, the Brazilian-Argentine Agency for Accounting and Control of Nuclear Materials, the IAEA, and by the Safeguards Agreement referred to as the Voluntary Offer Agreement between the United States [[Page 45949]] and the IAEA that entered into force on December 9, 1980. The application of safeguards in Argentina and Brazil pursuant to the Safeguards Transfer Agreements will be suspended while the Quadripartite Agreement is in force and safeguards specified therein are being applied by the IAEA. The application of safeguards in the United States pursuant to the Safeguards Transfer Agreement is suspended while the Voluntary Offer Agreement between the IAEA and the United States, and the protocol thereto, is in force and safeguards specified therein are being applied by the IAEA. These protocols shall enter into force on the date on which the IAEA receives from Argentina, Brazil and the United States written notification of the fulfillment of their respective internal procedures. In accordance with Section 131 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, it has been determined that this subsequent arrangement will not be inimical to the common defense and security. This subsequent arrangement will take effect no sooner than fifteen days after the date of publication of this notice. Dated: August 26, 1996. For the Department of Energy. Edward T. Fei, Deputy Director International Policy and Analysis Division, Office of Arms Control and Nonproliferation. [FR Doc. 96-22189 Filed 8-29-96; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6450-01-P
