NRC Seeks Comments on Licensing Requirements for Nuclear Imports and Exports

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission seeks comments on paperwork requirements related to the import and export of nuclear equipment and materials, it said in a notice. As it submits the information collections to the Office of Management and Budget for reapproval, the agency is gathering input on requirements for obtaining, renewing and amending licenses, obtaining consent to export “Category 1 quantities” of certain materials and requesting licensing exemptions. Comments should address the necessity of the requirements, their burden on importers and exporters, and ways to improve the information collection. Comments are due April 1.
