The Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC), under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (AEA), 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 specified in 10 CFR §§ 110.8, 110.9, and
110.9a. Any person who wishes to export or import nuclear equipment
and material under the provisions in 10 CFR Part 110 must provide
certain information collection elements to enable the NRC and the
Executive Branch to make required export and import licensing
determinations. In support of the reporting requirements pursuant
to 10 CFR 110.50(c), optional NRC forms 830, 830A, 831and 831A have
been developed to assist licensees in submitting prior shipment
notifications.
The estimated burden increased
by 256 hours from 524 hours up to 780 hours. The responses
increased by 1,652 responses, from 946 responses to 2,598
responses. There have been no changes to the requirements under 10
CFR Part 110; however, the NRC staff has adjusted the estimated
number of responses for some requirements. The number of
respondents was also increased from 103 to 108 as a result of data
from the last clearance cycle. The primary reason for the increase
in responses and hours is due to a change in the estimates for
notifications submitted pursuant to 110.50(c). The number of
estimated responses to comply with 110.50(c) increased from 400 to
1,800 for respondents not using a form and from 400 to 600 for
respondents using a form. The estimated number of responses is
based on data from the past clearance cycle on the actual number of
responses submitted to the NRC. The NRC staff believes that this
represents a fair estimate for the number of responses that will be
received annually during the current clearance cycle. In addition,
burden estimates for 110.50(c) were updated based on staff
experience. Burden estimates for licensees not using a form to
submit import/export data was reduced from 24 minutes to 15
minutes. The burden estimate for respondents using a form was
reduced from 24 minutes to 12 minutes, due to the addition of
continuation sheets (more information below). Minor changes were
made to the NRC Forms 830 and 830a as part of this submission.
These changes did not increase the burden for completion of the
form. There were no changes to the requirements contained in the 10
CFR Part 110 regulations. Changes are as follows: Revised the
wording in fields A, B, and C on the NRC Form 830 to match the
requirements in the regulations. The previous form incorrectly
requested the license number or general license reference, the
address and contact information of the U.S. importing facility, and
the recipient, in that order. The revised form now requests mailing
and contact information on the licensee, the recipient name and
address, and the contact information and address of the exporting
facility, in that order. Added a field for reference number, to
replace the previous field for license number. Since August 27,
2010, imports are authorized under a general license in the
regulations (at 110.27), so there is no longer a need to provide a
box for a license number on the NRC Form 830. However, licensees
requested the NRC provide a space for them to type a reference
number on the form to help keep their records organized. In
addition, the NRC staff also uses any reference number provided by
the licensee in matching the notice with subsequent notices from
the same licensee stating that the shipment reached its
destination. In addition, the NRC is submitting for the first time
two additional forms, NRC Form 830A and NRC Form 831A to serve as
"continuation sheets" for the NRC Forms 830 and 831. These sheets
allow a licensee to report multiple sources being exported or
imported, rather than completing a separate NRC Form 830 or 831 for
each source. The burden estimate of 12 minutes to report for
licensees using the optional forms includes the time to complete
both the report and the continuation sheet. The NRC staff believes
that the use of a continuation form will reduce licensee reporting
time, because multiple sources may be reported in a single
submission. Thus, the reporting time for licensees using the
optional forms has been reduced from 24 minutes to 12 minutes.
