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

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'

facility security regulations issued by DHS.
II. Effective Date
This MOU is effective March 31, 2011.
