BIS Seeking Comments on Information Collection for IAEA Declarations

The Bureau of Industry and Security is seeking comments on an information collection related to submitting declarations to the International Atomic Energy Agency for nuclear materials, according to a notice released Aug. 14. The IAEA requires information on “nuclear-related items” that may be used for “peaceful nuclear purposes” but also can be part of a nuclear weapons program, the notice said. The declarations provide the IAEA with information about “additional aspects of the U.S. commercial nuclear fuel cycle,” including nuclear equipment manufacturing and trade in nuclear-related goods. Comments are due Oct. 16.
