Persons in the U.S. wishing to export or import nuclear material or equipment, or byproduct material requiring a specific authorization, amend or renew a license, or wishing to use existing NRC general licenses for the export of incidental radioactive material over 100 kilograms must file an NRC Form 7 application. The NRC Form 7 application will be reviewed by the NRC and by the Executive Branch, and if applicable statutory, regulatory, and policy considerations are satisfied, the NRC will issue an export, import, amendment or renewal license.
There has been a net decrease in the burden hours associated with this information collection. This net decrease is an adjustment to the current burden calculation. The net decrease is due to a reduction in the estimated number of licenses actually required (160 actual versus 316 estimated) when general licensees became subject to the requirement to apply for specific licenses for commodities listed under Appendix P to Part 110, and an increase in the number of incidental radioactive material export filings (10 actual versus 3 estimated) than were estimated at the previous renewal cycle. Therefore, the estimate of total annual respondents has decreased from 319 (316+3) to 170 (160 + 10), and the corresponding burden has decreased from 788 [(316 x 2.4) + (3 x 10) = 788] to 484 [(160 x 2.4) + (10 x 10) = 484] hours for NRC Form 7 in this information collection package.
There was a change in the overall cost because the hourly rate increased from $201 to $238.
