Mr. Carlton Thorne, Director Office of Nuclear Export / Import Control Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs U.S. Department of State
. Washington, DC 20520
Dear Mr. Thorne:
Subsequent to the passage of the Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act of 1986 and in the absence of further implementing regulations still under consideration by the Executive Branch, NRC import regulations were revised to delete the general import license authority in 10 CFR 110 to require specific licenses for the import of any uranium of South African origin. This change became effective December 31, 1986.
However, there are a number of valid, previously issued import licenses which were issued prior to the broadening of our general import provisions in 1985 and which remain available for the licensee's use. We have identified ten outstanding l'icenses with expiration dates extending into 1987 and beyond.
These are tabulated in the attachment to this letter.
At least one shipment of South African origin material amounting to 4,800 kilograms of low-enriched uranium, in the form of UF, is known to have been imported against one of these licenses (ISNM830ll) sknce January 1,1987. We are not aware of any other proposed imports under these licenses in the j
immediate future, but the possibility of additional imports cannot be ruled j
out.
We are considering what action, if any, might be appropriate with respect to these existing licenses. We would appreciate your views and comments on this matter before we submit any recommended course of action to the Comission.
Sincerely, i
e Marvin R. Peterson, Assistant Director Export / Import and International Safeguards Office of International Programs
