Following Article 1(b) of the Additional Protocol, the United States will not permit any wide-area environmental sampling proposed by the IAEA at a specified U.S. location under Article 9 of the Additional Protocol, unless the President has determined and reported to the appropriate congressional committees that: (1) the proposed use of wide-area environmental sampling is necessary to increase the IAEA's capability to detect undeclared nuclear activities in a non-nuclear-weapon State Party's territory; (2) the proposed use will not give the IAEA access to locations, activities, or information of direct national security significance; and (3) the United States either: (A) has been given sufficient opportunity to consult with the IAEA, if the IAEA has requested complementary access involving wide-area environmental sampling; or (B) has itself requested, under Article 8 of the Additional Protocol, that the IAEA engage in complementary access in the United States involving wide-area environmental sampling.
