Change in ownership or control: review under Chapter 16 would be conducted whenever another entity takes ownership or control of the gaseous diffusion plants (GDPs). Ownership and control are defined as when an entity has the power, direct or indirect, whether or not exercised, through ownership of the securities, by contractual arrangements or other means to direct or decide matters affecting the management or operations of the GDPs.

These conditions involve changes described in the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual or if the GDP operator enters into negotiations for a proposed merger, acquisition, or takeover by a foreign entity,
