                Presidential Determination No. 2026-22 of August 21, 
                2026

                
Presidential Determination on Provision of Atomic 
                Information to Finland and Sweden

                Memorandum for the Secretary of War

                I approve, pursuant to sections 123 and 144 b. of the 
                Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, an agreement for 
                cooperation authorizing the exchange of U.S. Restricted 
                Data or Formerly Restricted Data within the context of 
                the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) as 
                between the United States and the following NATO 
                members: the Republic of Finland (Finland) and the 
                Kingdom of Sweden (Sweden) (hereinafter the ``New 
                Parties''). The subject agreement is the Agreement 
                between the Parties to the North Atlantic Treaty for 
                Co-operation Regarding Atomic Information, with annexes 
                (hereinafter referred to as the ``ATOMAL Agreement''), 
                which entered into force on March 12, 1965, with 
                respect to the United States and the other members of 
                NATO at that time. I note your recommendation and 
                concur in your assessment that Finland and Sweden, by 
                participating with the United States pursuant to 
                international arrangements, are making substantial and 
                material contributions to the mutual defense and 
                security. Cooperation pursuant to the ATOMAL Agreement 
                will further improve our mutual defense posture and 
                support our interests under the North Atlantic Treaty 
                and with NATO.

                Having considered your recommendations and the 
                cooperation provided for in the ATOMAL Agreement with 
                respect to the New Parties, in accordance with sections 
                123 and 144 b. of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as 
                amended, by the authority vested in me as President by 
                the Constitution and the laws of the United States of 
                America, I hereby:

                    a. determine that the performance of the ATOMAL 
                Agreement, including the proposed cooperation and the 
                proposed communication of Restricted Data and Formerly 
                Restricted Data thereunder with respect to the New 
                Parties, will promote, and will not constitute an 
                unreasonable risk to, the common defense and security;
                    b. approve United States implementation of the 
                ATOMAL Agreement with respect to the New Parties; and

[[Page 55232]]

                    c. authorize the Department of War to cooperate 
                with the New Parties to the ATOMAL Agreement in the 
                context of NATO upon satisfaction of the requirements 
                of section 123 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as 
                amended.

                You are authorized and directed to publish this 
                determination in the Federal Register.
