COOPERATIVE FRAMEWORK Clause Samples
The Cooperative Framework clause establishes the foundational principles and procedures for collaboration between the parties involved in an agreement. It typically outlines how the parties will communicate, share information, coordinate activities, and resolve issues that arise during the course of their relationship. For example, it may specify regular meetings, joint decision-making processes, or shared responsibilities for certain tasks. The core practical function of this clause is to ensure effective cooperation and alignment between the parties, thereby reducing misunderstandings and facilitating the achievement of mutual objectives.
COOPERATIVE FRAMEWORK. Consistent with the terms and conditions of this MOU, the Parties will coordinate, to the maximum extent practicable, their regulatory responsibilities related to the secure transportation of radioactive materials that pose a significant risk to public health and safety and the environment or the common defense and security. The Parties recognize that the topical areas set forth in Attachment 1 of this MOU are important to development and deployment of an enhanced security strategy for the transportation of risk significant radioactive material in the U.S. and across U.S. borders. For the purposes of this MOU, the term “risk significant radioactive material” means radioactive material that requires security measures to be applied to it above prudent management practices. See e.g., the International Atomic Energy Agency’s Nuclear Security Recommendations on Physical Protection of Nuclear Material and Nuclear Facilities (Information Circular/225/Revision 5). In addition, the Parties will agree on the radioactive material, within the statutory and regulatory jurisdiction of a Party, for implementation under this MOU, on a case-by-case basis. Attachment 1 of the MOU describes the infrastructure of the desired interactions between the Parties to this MOU. A series of annexes will be developed after approval of the MOU to establish the working arrangements between the NRC and the relevant component agencies within the signatory Departments. Working arrangements will provide the details of these interactions.
