SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

I. Background
In August 2011, the Department of
Energy (DOE) published a Notice of
Availability announcing the Assured
Fuel Supply (AFS), a backup supply of
low-enriched uranium (LEU) available
to domestic and foreign end-users in the
event of a supply disruption in the
nuclear fuel market. 76 FR 51357 (Aug.
18, 2011). The LEU that recipients will
purchase from the AFS will be in the
form of uranium hexafluoride at a
specific assay (4.95% U–235). The U.S.
Government will make no assurances
about the material in the AFS beyond
ensuring that Westinghouse, the private
company storing the AFS LEU for DOE,
can certify that the AFS LEU meets the
ASTM International Standard
Specification C996–04E1.
As part of the AFS program
implementation, DOE is publishing this
notice to provide guidance on the
information it will consider in
evaluating the requests of potential
applicants for access to the AFS.
II. Policy and Process for Accessing
AFS Material
The DOE requests that persons or
companies that seek to purchase low
enriched uranium (LEU) from the U.S.
Department of Energy’s American
Assured Fuel Supply (AFS) provide
information sufficient to evaluate the
request to the Office of Nonproliferation
and International Security, National
Nuclear Security Administration 1000
Independence Ave. SW., Washington,
DC 20585, Tel: 202–586–0589, Fax:
202–586–1348.
DOE will require the following
information from the requester to
evaluate a request:
1. Provide name and contact
information for end-user of desired LEU.
2. If end-user is not in the United
States, provide country and name of
end-user.
3. Is there any other logistical
information that DOE should be made
aware of?
4. Is the foreign recipient requesting
LEU from the AFS experiencing a fuel
supply disruption for which LEU cannot
be obtained through normal market
conditions? If yes, please provide facts
that demonstrate that LEU is

Frm 00012

Fmt 4703

unavailable in the timeframe that it is
needed.
5.a. For all U.S. end-users, is a
Nuclear Regulatory Commission license
authorizing possession and use in
place?
5.b. If end-user is not in the United
States, describe steps to be taken to
obtain the necessary Nuclear Regulatory
Commission export license.
5.c. If end-user is not in the United
States, does the country have any
outstanding issues with the
International Atomic Energy Agency
over their comprehensive safeguards
agreement? If yes, please describe the
nature of these issues.
6. What is the desired quantity of LEU
and when is anticipated fueling into
reactor? Please note that the LEU will be
in the form of uranium hexafluoride at
a specific assay (4.95% U–235). The
U.S. Government does not assume
responsibility or make any warranty,
express or implied beyond assuring that
Westinghouse, the company storing AFS
LEU, can certify that the AFS LEU meets
the ASTM International Standard
Specification C996–04E1.
7. When does requester want to take
title of LEU from DOE?
8. Please provide evidence that
requester can make all necessary and
required arrangements to accept custody
and take possession of the LEU from the
place of storage, (Westinghouse’s
Columbia, South Carolina site) once title
is transferred.
DOE reserves the right to request
additional information or clarification of
required information as deemed
necessary to process the request.

Decision and Order Granting a Waiver
to Hussmann From the Department of
Energy Commercial Refrigerator,
Freezer and Refrigerator-Freezer Test
Procedure
Office of Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy, Department of
Energy.
ACTION: Decision and order.
AGENCY:

The U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) gives notice of the
decision and order (Case No. CR–003)
that grants to Hussmann Corporation
(Hussmann) a waiver from the U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE) test
procedure for determining the energy
consumption of its commercial freezers
for the basic models set forth in its
petition for waiver (petition). Hussmann
claims in its petition that the specified
basic models cannot be tested in
accordance with the DOE test procedure
for commercial refrigeration equipment
because the equipment cannot operate
at the specified integrated average
product temperature of 0 °F ± 2 °F.
Under today’s decision and order,
Hussmann shall be required to test and

rate the commercial freezers specified in
the petition at their lowest integrated
average temperature of 8 ± 2 °F, which
DOE confirmed is the lowest
temperature at which those models can
operate and which is consistent with the
lowest application product temperature
provision in the DOE test procedure.
This Decision and Order is
effective December 2, 2013.

issues notice of this Decision and Order
in accordance with Title 10 of the Code
of Federal Regulations (10 CFR)
431.401(f)(4). In this Decision and
Order, DOE grants Hussmann a waiver
for the commercial refrigerators
specified in its petition submitted on
January 12, 2012. Hussmann must test
and rate this equipment at the lowest
integrated average temperature at which
the commercial refrigerators can
operate, which is consistent with the
lowest application product temperature
provision in the DOE test procedure at
10 CFR 431.64(b)(3)(A).
Today’s decision requires Hussmann
to make representations concerning the
energy efficiency of this equipment
consistent with the provisions and
restrictions of the alternate test
procedure in the Decision and Order
below, and the representations must
fairly disclose the test results. (42 U.S.C.
6314(d)) The same standard applies to
distributors, retailers, and private
labelers when making representations of
the energy efficiency of this equipment.
