On 2 August 2013 the Department of Energy (DOE) published a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNOPR) in the Federal Register (78 Fed. Reg. 48629) to amend the Part 810 Regulations (10 C.F.R. Part 810), which govern the export and re-export of unclassified nuclear technology and assistance. This latest notice proposes, with some changes, a rule that DOE originally proposed almost two years ago (76 Fed. Reg. 55278, 7 September 2011). The newly proposed rule, like its earlier version, makes substantial revisions to the scope and requirements of the Part 810 Regulations – the first comprehensive updating of these regulations in decades. The purpose of the proposed rulemaking is to update the Part 810 Regulations to reflect changes in the global civil nuclear market. Our summary of the original proposed rulemaking can be found here.
