NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Documents Containing Reporting or Recordkeeping Requirements: 
Notice of Pending Submittal to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) for Review

AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of pending NRC action to submit an information 
collection request to OMB and solicitation of public comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The NRC is preparing a submittal to OMB for review of 
continued approval of information collections under the provisions of 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Information pertaining to the requirement to be submitted:
    1. The title of the information collection: Application for License 
to Export Nuclear Material and Equipment, NRC Form 7
    2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0027
    3. How often the collection is required: On occasion; for each 
separate request for a specific export license and for exports of 
incidental radioactive material using existing general licenses.
    4. Who is required or asked to report: Any person in the U.S. who 
wishes to export: (a) nuclear material and equipment subject to the 
requirements of a specific license; (b) radioactive waste subject to 
the requirements of a specific license; and (c) incidental radioactive 
material that is a contaminant of shipments of more than 100 kilograms 
of non-waste material using existing NRC general licenses.
    5. The number of annual respondents: 153
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 330 hours (2.2 hours per response)
    7. Abstract: Any person in the U.S. wishing to export nuclear 
material and equipment requiring a specific authorization or 
radioactive waste requiring a specific authorization must file an 
application for a license on NRC Form 7. The application will be 
reviewed by the NRC and by the Executive Branch, and if applicable 
statutory, regulatory, and policy considerations are satisfied, the NRC 
will issue a license authorizing the export.
    A completed NRC Form 7 must also be filed by any person in the U.S. 
wishing to use existing NRC general licenses for the export of 
incidental radioactive material before the export takes place (if the 
total amount of the shipment containing the incidental radioactive 
material exceeds 100 kilograms). The form is reviewed by the NRC to 
ensure that the NRC is informed before the fact of these kinds of 
shipments and to allow NRC to inform other interested parties, as 
appropriate, including import control authorities in interested foreign 
countries.
    Submit, by January 3, 1996, comments that address the following 
questions:
    1. Is the proposed collection of information necessary for the NRC 
to properly perform its functions? Does the information have practical 
utility?
    2. Is the burden estimate accurate?
    3. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected?
    4. How can the burden of the information collection be minimized, 
including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology?
