DOE Overhauls Export Controls for Nuclear Technology

By on March 6, 2015 in Energy, International

atom-nuclear-energy-34010876_s-150Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld has posted a white paper on a long-awaited final rule from the Department of Energy (DOE) overhauling its Part 810 Regulations (10 C.F.R. Part 810) governing the export of certain nuclear technology and assistance.

Effective March 25, these revisions clarify the scope of these regulations, update the set of countries for which “specific authorization” is required, create new reporting requirements and establish rules governing “deemed exports,” among other things, the Akin Gump report says.

“In some cases, companies may need to act quickly to adjust their compliance programs to align with this updated regulatory framework,” the report continues. “These changes may also provide new opportunities for U.S. companies in certain parts of the world, while imposing more onerous restrictions on others.”
