{"abstract":"The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is creating the American Assured Fuel Supply (AFS), a reserve of low enriched uranium (LEU) to serve as a backup fuel supply for foreign recipients to be supplied through U.S. persons, or for domestic recipients, in the event of a fuel supply disruption. DOE is committed to making the AFS available to eligible recipients in the case of supply disruptions in the nuclear fuel market. This effort supports DOE's nuclear nonproliferation objectives by supporting civil nuclear energy development while minimizing proliferation risks. This notice announces the availability of the AFS and the DOE policy and process for eligible recipients to purchase LEU from the AFS.","action":"Notice of availability.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY","name":"Energy Department","id":136,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/energy-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/136","parent_id":null,"slug":"energy-department"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2011/08/18/2011-21067.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"76 FR 51357","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":null,"disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":[],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2011-21067","effective_on":null,"end_page":51358,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2011/08/18/2011-21067.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2011/08/18/2011-21067/notice-of-availability-american-assured-fuel-supply","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2011-21067?publication_date=2011-08-18","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2011-08-18/2011-21067/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":2,"page_views":{"count":1298,"last_updated":"2026-07-27 20:15:03 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2011-08-18/pdf/2011-21067.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2011-08-18","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2011/08/18/2011-21067.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2011-09-07T08:06:45Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":51357,"subtype":null,"title":"Notice of Availability: American Assured Fuel Supply","toc_doc":"American Assured Fuel Supply; Availability","toc_subject":null,"topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":76}
