22 U.S.C. § 8153 — Application of national security exclusion to location-specific environmental sampling

Following Article 1(b) of the Additional Protocol, the United States will not permit any location-specific environmental sampling in the United States under Article 5 of the Additional Protocol, unless the President has determined and reported to the appropriate congressional committees that: (1) the proposed use of location-specific 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) with respect to that proposed use, the United States either: (A) has been given sufficient opportunity to consult with the IAEA, if the IAEA has requested complementary access involving location-specific 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 location-specific environmental sampling.
