International Energy Associates limited 3?ll Jermantown Poad Fairfax, Virginia ??030 Gentlemen:
Sectinn 309(a) of the Ccmorehensive Anti-Apartheid Act of 1986 provides that no " uranium ore or uranium nyide produced or manufactured in South Africa" may be imported into the United States after December 31, 1986. As a result nf this lecislation the Nuclear Peculatory Comission, on December 31, 1986, revised its regulations to require a specific license for the import of uranicm in any form of South Africar origin. This revision to our regulations modifies the general import license at 10 CFR 110.27, which has been in effect since January 1985, to preclude its use for the import of uranium of South African origin.
As a related matter, we have reviewed our records to identify any specific import licenses, issued prior to Janua'rv 1985, which are still valid and under which material of South African origin could enter the U.S. As a result of this review, we have identified the following license issued to your cer:pany:
License Number l'a teria l License Expires ISNM084012 1600 kgs V enriched to 5% January 1, 1988 Although the December 31, 1986 revision to our general import licensing authority did not directly affect your existing import license, the provisions of the Anti-Apartheid Act may nevertheless require modification to this license. We have recuested the views of the Executive Pranch on this matter and the Commission will decide upo'n an appropriate course of action in the near future. tin the interim, we are requesting you end all other holders of specific import licenses to refrain from importing any material of South African origin under these licenses while our review is under way. Should you anticipate a requirement to utilize your existing license to import any South African uranium, your cooperation in advisino us of your plans before the import is made would be greatly appreciated.
Please call me at (301) 49?-786G or P. Neal l'oore at 497-7984 should ycu have any questions.
Sincerely, Original signed by "arvin R. Fotorson t
