§18752 Property interests relating to certain projects and protection of information relating to certain agreements

Summary

The Secretary can transfer ownership (fee title) or other property rights that the Secretary got under a project agreement to any entity, including the United States. "Advanced nuclear reactor" means whatever is defined in section 16271(b). "Property interest" means any interest in real or personal property as defined in 2 CFR section 200.1 (as of November 15, 2021). It does not include intellectual property created with funding from the projects listed below. The rule covers projects funded under FOA DE–FOA–0002271 (including those funded as of November 15, 2021); projects funded with money made available for the Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program under the "Nuclear Energy" heading in title III of division C of the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020 (Public Law 116–94; 133 Stat. 2670); any other project funded under the Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program; and projects about advanced nuclear reactors that get federal development-and-demonstration funding. Any assignment of fee title or other property rights is effective back to the date the project first received that federal funding.
