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.

Short Statement: It was noted that a large number of cases reported in prior years were not a direct result of requirements in 10 CFR Part 810, but were rather requests for various types of assistance by exporters. These requests have no fixed required inputs and should not have been included. In the prior period roughly 168 of the reported annual cases were of this request for assistance. This would have reduced the number of responses to roughly 700, creating a very similar case load for this three year period. After accounting for the change in evaluation, the average number of responses has remained relatively flat from prior reporting with a drop of less than 3% annually. Improved efficiencies due to the increasing use of e810 resulted in a reduction of the per response time requirements. This has resulted in a reduction of cost of 30% .
