BIS Extends Comment Period for Information Collection on IAEA Declarations

The Bureau of Industry and Security extended the comment period (see 2008140002) for an information collection related to submitting declarations to the International Atomic Energy Agency for nuclear materials, a notice released Nov. 9 said. The IAEA requires information on nuclear-related products 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 the U.S. “commercial nuclear fuel cycle,” including nuclear equipment manufacturing and trade in nuclear-related goods. Comments are due Dec. 10.
