ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Defense Acquisition Regulations System has submitted to 
OMB for clearance the following proposed revision of a currently 
approved collection of information under the provisions of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act.

DATES: Consideration will be given to all comments received by 
September 7, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title, Associated Form, and OMB Number: Defense Federal Acquisition 
Regulation Supplement (DFARS), U.S.-International Atomic Energy Agency 
Additional Protocol; OMB Control Number 0704-0454.
    Affected Public: Businesses and other for-profit entities and not-
for-profit institutions.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Number of Respondents: 10.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 10.
    Average Burden per Response: 1 hour.
    Annual Response Burden Hours: 10.
    Reporting Frequency: On occasion.
    Needs and Uses: Under the U.S.-International Atomic Energy Agency 
(IAEA) Additional Protocol, the United States is required to declare a 
wide range of public and private nuclear-related activities to the IAEA 
and potentially provide access to IAEA inspectors for verification 
purposes. The U.S.-IAEA Additional Protocol permits the United States 
unilaterally to declare exclusions from inspection requirements for 
activities with direct national security significance.
    The contract clause at DFARS 252.204-7010, as prescribed at DFARS 
204.470-3, is included in contracts for research and development or 
major defense acquisition programs involving fissionable materials 
(e.g., uranium, plutonium, neptunium, thorium, americium); other 
radiological source materials; or technologies directly related to 
nuclear power production, including nuclear or radiological waste 
materials.
    The clause requires a contractor to provide written notification to 
the applicable DoD program manager and a copy of the notification to 
the contracting officer if the contractor is required to report its 
activities under the U.S.-IAEA Additional Protocol. Upon such 
notification, DoD will determine if access may be granted to IAEA 
inspectors, or if a national security exclusion should be applied.
    Comments and recommendations on the proposed information collection 
should be sent to Ms. Susan Minson, DoD Desk Officer, at 
[email protected]. Please identify the proposed information 
collection by DoD Desk Officer and the Docket ID number and title of 
the information collection.
    You may also submit comments, identified by docket number and 
title, by the following method: Federal eRulemaking Portal: https://www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments.
    DoD Clearance Officer: Ms. Angela Duncan. Requests for copies of 
the information collection proposal should be sent to Ms. Duncan at 
[email protected].
