The particular safeguard provisions may also specify the content of subsequent communications required under Article 5 as well as the conditions under which shipments and receipts of nuclear material require advance notification. 4. The Commission shall reimburse the person or undertaking concerned the cost of those special services which are provided for in the particular safeguard provisions or which are provided as the result of a special request by the Commission or its inspectors, on the basis of an agreed estimate. The amount of, and arrangements for, the reimbursement shall be jointly determined by the parties concerned and shall be reviewed periodically.
