SUPPORTING STATEMENT Proposed Rule, "10 CFR PART 110: REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SPECIFIC LICENSING OF EXPORTS OF CERTAIN ALPHA-EMITTING RADIONUCLIOES AND BYPRODUCT MATERIALS" (0MB Approval Number 3150-0036)

NRC FORM 7, " APPLICATION FOR LICENSE TO EXPORT NUCLEAR MATERIAL AND EQUIPMENT" (OMB Approval Number 3150-0027)'

Description of the Information Collection The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), under the Atomic-Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and Title II of the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974, as amended, has authority for exercising export and import controls over nuclear equipment and material as listed in 10 CFR_ Part 110 Sections 110.8, 110.9, and 110.9(a).

All persons who wish to export or import the nuclear equipment and material must provide certain information collection elements-to enable the NRC and the Executive Branch to make required export / import licensing determinations. The-NRC's regulations are being revised to require-specific licensing:of certain exports of alpha-emitting radionuclides and byproduct materials which previously could transpire under general licenses.

The proposed rule would require a person to file an application for a specific license to export such materials.

Sections 110.31 and 110.32_ indicate the

-information required to be submitted for an application for export of these material s.

The other sections listed have no change in information collection:

requirements but will have an increase in burden attributable to the larger universe.of respondents subject to the requirements. The specific information collections that would be affected by the proposed rule are listed below:

Aeolications for Exoort licenses. Sections 110.31 and 110.32 require license-applications from all persons in the U.S. who wish to export nuclear material or equipment requiring. specific authorization. Most export _ applications are-submitted on a multipurpose license application NRC Form 7 which covers most-types of nuclear material and equipment under the NRC's. authority. (The NRC Form 7 information collection is described separately under OMB approval No.

3150-0027.) Consolidated ~ license applications are submitted by letter and are covered by this clearance. The information collection elements enable the Commission and the Executive Branch to make required export / import licensing

- determinations to ensure compliance with-regulations.- Section 110.31(c) indicates that applications for exports will include information specified in 9110.32 on-the name and address of applicant, name and address of supplier,-

country of origin of material, names and addresses of intermediate and ultimate consignees, dates of first and last shipments, description of the material, and a description of the end use of the material.

License Terms and St)ated Provisions.

Section 110.50(a)(7) requires _ licen' sees to_ notify the NRC p 9mptly. if they know or have reason to believe that the packaging requirements of 10_CFR 71 have not been met. Section 110.50(b)(3)

'5

o e

2 requires 40-day advance notice to the NRC, in writing, prior to the export of Australian-origin or Canadian-origin nuclear material or equipment, unless such foreign-origin exports have been specifically authorized on the NRC export license.

ILrnendment. Renewal. Revocadon. Susoension. and Modification of Licenses.

Section 110.51 permits licensees to renew a lice ne by submitting an application 30 days or more prior to expiration of the license.

Section 110.52 provide:, guidelines for the NRC in request additional information from licensees to determine whether a license should be ravoked, suspended, or

.i.ad i f i ed.

Record Retention Perind.

Section 110.53(b) requires each licensee to maintain records concerning his exports and imports.

The licensee shall retain these records for five years after each export or import except that byproduct material records shall be retained for three years.

A.

JUSTIFICATION 1.

[1934 The information will be used to strengthen the NRC's licensing controls over certain alpha-emitting.adionuclides and byproduct materials leaving the United States This action will bring the NRC's export controls in compliance with the export control guidelines of the international Nuclear Suppliers Group and the International Atomic Energy List of the Coorditated Committee for Multilateral Export Controls (C0COM), and treaty obligations between the United States and Canada.

2.

Aaency Use of Information. The informaiion required on the license applications is keyed to the decision criteria which will guide the NRC in apprcving or denying specific cases. This information, and other associated notification and recordkeeping requirements, will also facilitate the NRC's cc,nsultations with other interested U.S. and foreign officials prior to making its decisions.

3.

Reduction of Purden Throuah Information Technoloav. There are no legal obstacles to reducing the burden associated with this information collection.

Licensees and applicants may utilize information technology if they so desire.

4.

Effort to Identifv Duolicatian. The Information Requirements Control Automated System (IRCAS) was searched to determine agency duplication. - None was found.

5.

Effort to Use Similar Information. No such similar information exists.

m_

g y

w-g,

3 6.

Effort to Reduce Small-Business Burden. The NRC does not expect the information collection requirements _to pose any significant

urden on small business.

The NRC has proposed new general licenses which exempts from new controls shipments of alpha-emitting radionuclides to the twenty-six member states of the international Nuclear fuppliers Group and small quantities of alpha-emitting radionuclides when contained in devices in quantities of less than 100 millicuries of a!pha activity per device. To NRC's knowledge, such shipments represent small business's particular concern.

7.

Consecuences of Less Frecuent Collection. The information-requested in Sections 110.31 and 110.32 is submitted only when deemed necessary by exporters.

8.

, Circumstances Which Justify Variation from OMB Guidelines. The reason for retaining records for five years for each export,-

except for byproduct material, is that these exports are relatively more important with respect to nonproliferation of nuclear related activities.

9.

Consultations Outside the NRC, Public comments have been elicited from personnel of the Department of Energy's National laboratories and U.S f ndustry on possible revisions to the licensing requirements in JO CFR Part 110 for certain exports of alpha-emitting radionutlides and byproduct materials, _The comments received were takan into account in writing the proposed rule.

The proposed rule, in turn, is being published for public comment.

All comments, including any comments on the information collection burden, will be addressed in the final rule.

10.

Confidentiality of Information, The information requested in Sections 110.31 and 110.32 will be treated as company proprietary at the request of the applicant.

11.

Justification for Sensitive Ouestions. There are no sensitive questions.

12.

Estimated Annualized Cost to the Federal Government. The collection of-information for an estimated six additional exports of certain alpha-emitting radionuclides and~ byproduct materials-requiring specific licenses under 10 CFR Part.110 requires approximately 18 NRC professional staff hours per year (3' hours 'x

+

6 cases).

Annual labor cost to the7ederal Government at $123 staff hour is $2,214 (18 hours2.083333e-4 days <br />0.005 hours <br />2.97619e-5 weeks <br />6.849e-6 months <br /> x 5123).

13.

Estimate of Burd_en.

Some six exports of nuclear material per. year are estimated to be affected by requiring a specific NRC license for the export of certain alpha-emitting radionuclides and byproduct materials. -
