SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

This notice is to advise the public of the issuance of a Final Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The MOU delineates clear lines of responsibility between the parties, based on their legal authorities, for the security of high-risk chemical facilities subject to DHS regulation and for the security of chemicals at facilities subject to NRC regulation. The MOU describes the parties' relationship in identifying which facilities are subject to NRC regulation and thus are, in whole or in part, exempt from the chemical facility security regulations issued by DHS.

II. Effective Date

This MOU is effective March 31, 2011.
