| 04-5017 | Presidential Directed Mission Requiring Authorization of National Security Provisions | Notice | The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is issuing this notice of emergency action regarding its authorization of national security provisions related to a recent U.S. mission to assist the Libyan government in reducing its inventories of proliferation-sensitive nuclear materials. On January 27, 2004, a U.S.-led team of policy and technical experts successfully extracted from Libya some of its nuclear materials. In order to expedite the removal of these materials from the site, the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Administrator invoked the national security provisions of 49 CFR 173.7(b) and exempted the transport from DOE Order 461.1, Packaging and Transfer of Materials of National Security Interest, thereby allowing the shipment of items by air to the McGhee Tyson Airport at Knoxville, TN and from there to the Y-12 National Security Complex at Oak Ridge, TN by land transport. The shipment included four cylinders of uranium hexafluoride (UF<INF>6</INF>) of varying enrichment levels. DOE would normally prepare an Environmental Assessment or Environmental Impact Statement analyzing this shipment pursuant to its National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) implementing regulations (10 CFR part 1021). However, due to the urgent and classified nature of the actions required to perform this mission, DOE consulted with the Council on Environmental Quality about alternative arrangements with regard to NEPA compliance for its authorization of national security provisions pursuant to the Council NEPA regulation at 40 CFR 1506.11. This notice is issued pursuant to the requirements of 10 CFR 1021.343. | 2004-03-05 | 2004 | 3 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2004/03/05/04-5017/presidential-directed-mission-requiring-authorization-of-national-security-provisions | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2004-03-05/pdf/04-5017.pdf | Energy Department; National Nuclear Security Administration | 136,359 | The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is issuing this notice of emergency action regarding its authorization of national security provisions related to a recent U.S. mission to assist the Libyan government in reducing its inventories of... |
