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: NRC Form 7, 
``Application for NRC Export/Import License, Amendment, or Renewal,'' 
formerly, ``Application for License to Export Nuclear Equipment and 
Material.''
    2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0027.
    3. How often the collection is required: On occasion; for each 
separate export, import, amendment, or renewal license application, 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 or import (a) nuclear material and equipment subject 
to the requirements of a specific license; (b) amend a license; (c) 
renew a license, and (d) for notification of incidental radioactive 
material exports that are contaminants of shipments of more than 100 
kilograms of non-waste material using existing NRC general licenses.
    5. The number of annual respondents: 319.
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 788 hours (2.4 hours per response).
    7. Abstract: Persons in the U.S. wishing to export or import 
nuclear material and equipment requiring a specific authorization, 
amend or renew a license, or wishing to use existing NRC general 
licenses for the export of incidental radioactive material over 100 
kilograms must file an NRC Form 7 application. The NRC Form 7 
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 an export, import, amendment or renewal 
license.

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?
