MEMORANDUM FOR: Victor Stello, Jr.
Executive Director for Operations FROM: James R. Shea, Director Office of International Programs
SUBJECT:
MIN 0R AMEllDMENTS TO 10 CFR PART 110 GEllERAL LICENSE REGULATIONS FOR THE EXP0RT OF TRITIUM Attached for your signature is a Federal Register Notice amending 10 CFR Part 110 regulations on the export of tritium under a general license. The revised regulations impose more restrictive limits on the amount of dispersed tritium which can be contained in luminescent light sources and other items containing tritium exported under the general license. The revision precludes the export of large tritium light sources under the general license unless the light source is installed in aircraft as a safety device. This action is necessary to j address the concerns of the Executive Branch and other governments that the current general license covering tritium luminescent light sources may represent a potential proliferation risk. In addition, the revised regulations add tritium to the list of definitions in order to clarify the m3aning of tritium to exporters and to conform NRC's export regulations with international export control guidelines.
l A backfit analysis as required by 10 CFR 50.109 has not been prepared for these i amendments, because Part 110 applies only to the export and import of nuclear facilities, material and components and does not deal with domestic facilities.
! Because these amendments involve a foreign affairs function of the United States and since the Department of State has requested expeditious action, the Administrative Procedure Act's provisions governing notice of proposed rulemaking do not apply to this action (5 U.S.C. 553 (a)(1)).
Therefore, we recommend that the final rule become effective upon publication in the Federal Register.
Notices: A notice to the Commission that the EDO has signed this rule is enclosed for inclusion in the next Daily Staff Notes (Enclosure 2). The appropriate Congressional Committees will be notified (Enclosure 3).
Coordination _: The Offices of the General Counsel, Nuclear Regulatory Research, Nuclear Reactor Regulation, Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards, Inspection and Enforcement, State Programs, Administration, and Resource Management concur in the amendments, gal 013 e60813 110 MISC PDR mes R.
