Rule
Summary
The Department of Energy just added the Philippines and Singapore to the list of countries allowed to receive U.S. nuclear technology and help. This change starts November 24, 2025, making it easier and faster for these countries to get support without extra paperwork. If you work with nuclear exports or foreign atomic energy, this update affects you and could speed up your projects!
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Philippines and Singapore added to list
If you work with U.S. exports of controlled nuclear technology, the Department of Energy added the Philippines and Singapore to the Part 810 "generally authorized destinations" list. Starting November 24, 2025, you no longer need to obtain a specific Part 810 authorization before transferring covered nuclear technology or assistance to those two countries, which can speed up projects and approvals.
Less paperwork for small exporters
Small businesses that export nuclear technology should face less paperwork because transfers to the Philippines and Singapore no longer require prior specific authorization under Part 810. DOE estimates about 10 percent of entities impacted by Part 810 are small businesses, and initial Part 810 filings previously required up to 40 hours of legal assistance.
