Abstract: Under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, the Secretary of Energy has the authority to authorize proposed exports of unclassified U.S. nuclear technology and assistance. Control over such exports is necessary in order to prevent nuclear proliferation and to facilitate legitimate civil nuclear commerce. In order to implement this legal authority, DOE promulgated a rule found at 10 CFR Part 810. This rule describes what activities are within the scope of control, what activities are generally authorized by the Secretary, and what activities require a specific authorization. The rule also provides the information requirements for reporting generally authorized activities and applications for specific authorization. Information Collection 1901-0263 implements these requirements.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Regulations

Short Statement: The annual information collection burden reported in the 2015 Information Collection Request relied upon data from prior to the promulgation of the rule. While this was reasonable as the actual effort on the part of exporters is relatively unchanged from the old rule to the updated rule, there was a significant change in volume associated with the new rule. Much of this change reflects the increasing international activity related to easing of requirements to several nuclear nations (including the United Arab Emirates and Ukraine).
