Abstract: On April 21, 2022, President Biden signed Proclamation 10371, 87 FR 24265, which states, in part: “The policies and actions of the Government of the Russian Federation to continue the premeditated, unjustified, unprovoked, and brutal war against Ukraine constitute a national emergency by reason of a disturbance or threatened disturbance of international relations of the United States. …” Section 1 of the Proclamation “prohibit[s] Russian-affiliated vessels from entering into United States ports”. Section 2 of the Proclamation lists exemptions to Section 1, including: “to Russian-affiliated vessels used in the transport of source material, special nuclear material, and nuclear byproduct material for which, and for such time as, the Secretary of Energy, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Commerce, determines that no viable source of supply is available that would not require transport by Russian-affiliated vessels; …” The Proclamation will become effective on Thursday, April 28, 2022, and will be immediately transmitted to the Congress and published in the Federal Register. As such, beginning April 28, 2022, the Department of Energy (DOE) must implement a process for receiving, adjudicating, and approving (or rejecting) requests for a Section 2 exemption to the prohibition in Section 1 of the Proclamation. The process involves public applicants submitting requests for exemption to DOE’s Office of Nuclear Energy (DOE-NE) for the Secretary of Energy’s consideration.

Emergency Justfication: Pursuant to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) procedures established in 5 C.F.R Part 1320, Controlling Paperwork Burdens on the Public, the Department of Energy (DOE) is requesting that the proposed information collection, Presidential Proclamation Relating to the Regulation of the Anchorage and Movement of Russian-Affiliated Vessels to U.S. Ports, be processed as an Emergency Clearance Information Collection Request (ICR) as referenced in 5 C.F.R. § 1320.13, Emergency processing. DOE has determined that the information must be collected prior to the time periods established under Part 1320 of the regulation, and that this information is essential to DOE’s implementation of the Secretary of Energy’s requirements under Presidential Proclamation 10371, Declaration of National Emergency and Invocation of Emergency Authority Relating to the Regulation of the Anchorage and Movement of Russian-Affiliated Vessels to United States Ports (Apr. 21, 2022). DOE must collect this information urgently due to the effective date of the Proclamation (Apr. 28, 2022). DOE has determined that public consequence is likely if normal clearance procedures are followed.
