UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 October 7, 2019 SECRETARY The Honorable Roy Blunt United States Senate Washington, DC 20515

Dear Senator Blunt:

On behalf of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, I am responding to your letter of September 27, 2019, to Chairman Svinicki regarding the Export License Application of the U.S.

Department of Energy (DOE) (Docket No. 11006361 ). Your letter expresses support for a public hearing on the matter, as requested by your constituent, Curium US LLC.

Because your request bears on the contested proceeding pending before the Commission, it would be inappropriate for the Chairman to discuss this matter at this time. This is because the Commission must remain impartial during the pendency of the proceeding .

A copy of your letter and this response will be served on the participants in the DOE Export License Application proceeding.

Sincerely, Annette L. Vietti-Cook cc: Representative Ann Wagner
