NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request

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

ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of information collection and 
solicitation of public comment.

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

SUMMARY: The NRC has recently submitted to OMB for review the following 
proposal for the collection of information under the provisions of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). The NRC hereby 
informs potential respondents that an agency may not conduct or 
sponsor, and that a person is not required to respond to, a collection 
of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Extension.
    2. The title of the information collection: Application for License 
to Export Nuclear Equipment and Material.
    3. The form number if applicable: NRC Form 7.
    4. 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.
    5. Who will be 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.
    6. An estimate of the number of responses: 63.
    7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 63.
    8. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
complete the requirement or request: 150 hours (2.4 hours per 
response).
    9. An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Pub. L. 104-13 
applies: Not applicable.
    10. 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 ordinarily should 
file an application for a license on NRC Form 7, except that certain 
submittals should be filed by letter. 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.
