The notice must say which laws or rules allow the transfer; how much uranium will be provided; an estimate of the gross fair market value on the expected date; the expected date; who will receive it; what the Secretary expects to get in return (including any adjustments to value); and whether the uranium has any use restrictions under international agreements or other limits.
