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.
