(2) the timely dissemination of information regarding such diversion; and
(3) the timely implementation of internationally agreed procedures in the event of such diversion;
(d) ensure that the IAEA receives on a timely basis the data needed for it to administer an effective and comprehensive international safeguards program and that the IAEA provides timely notice to the world community of any evidence of a violation of any safeguards agreement to which it is a party; and
