View Rule

The Secretary of Energy (Secretary) will issue Determination(s) adding Singapore and the Philippines to the generally authorized destinations list for exports of controlled nuclear technology and assistance under DOE’s regulation on Assistance to Foreign Atomic Energy Activities. Accordingly, DOE is issuing this direct final rule to update the list of generally authorized destinations listed in appendix A to 10 CFR part 810 by adding Singapore and the Philippines. DOE finds good cause that notice and comment for this rule is unnecessary due to the nature of the revisions. 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B) This final rule simply makes administrative changes to update the list in appendix A. Comments cannot alter the regulation given that the modification of generally authorized destination status will be made effective through the Secretarial Determination(s), and, therefore, notice and comment is unnecessary.
