of public comment.

SUMMARY: The NRC has recently

submitted to OMB for review the

following proposal for the collection of

information under the provisions of the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44

U.S.C. Chapter 35). The NRC hereby

informs potential respondents that an

that a person is not required to respond

to, a collection of information unless it

displays a currently valid OMB control

number.

1. Type of submission, new, revision,

or extension: Revision

2. The title of the information

collection: Application for License to

Export Nuclear Equipment and Material

3. The form number if applicable:

NRC Form 7

4. How often the collection is

required: On occasion; For each separate

request for a specific export license and

for exports of incidental radioactive

material using existing general licenses.

5. Who will be required or asked to

report: Any person in the U.S. who

wishes to export: (a) Nuclear material

and equipment subject to the

requirements of a specific license; (b)

radioactive waste subject to the

requirements of a specific license; and

(c) incidental radioactive material that is

a contaminant of shipments of more

than 100 kilograms of non-waste

material using existing NRC general

licenses.

6. An estimate of the number of

responses: 63

7. The estimated number of annual

respondents: 63

8. An estimate of the total number of

hours needed annually to complete the

9. An indication of whether Section

3507(d), Public Law 104–13 applies: Not

applicable.

10. Abstract: Any person in the U.S.

wishing to export nuclear material and

equipment requiring a specific

authorization or radioactive waste

requiring a specific authorization

ordinarily should file an application for

a license on NRC Form 7, except that

certain submittals should be filed by

letter. The 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 a

license authorizing the export.

A completed NRC Form 7 must also

be filed by any person in the U.S.

wishing to use existing NRC general

licenses for the export of incidental

radioactive material before the export

takes place (if the total amount of the

shipment containing the incidental

radioactive material exceeds 100

kilograms). The form is reviewed by the

NRC to ensure that the NRC is informed

before the fact of these kinds of

shipments and to allow NRC to inform

other interested parties, as appropriate,

including import control authorities in

interested foreign countries.

A copy of the submittal may be

viewed free of charge at the NRC Public

Document Room, 2120 L Street, NW

BILLING CODE 7590–01–P

[Docket Nos. 50–317 and 50–318]

Baltimore Gas and Electric Company;

Notice of Consideration of Issuance of

Amendments to Facility Operating

Licenses and Opportunity for a

Hearing

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (the Commission) is

considering issuance of an amendment

to Facility Operating License Nos. DPR–

53 and DPR–69 issued to the Baltimore

Gas and Electric Company (BGE or the

licensee) for operation of the Calvert

Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Unit Nos. 1

and 2, located in Calvert County,

Maryland.

The proposed amendments, requested

by the licensee in a letter dated

December 4, 1996, would represent a

full conversion from the current

Technical Specifications (TSs) to a set of

TS based on NUREG–1432, Revision 1,

‘‘Standard Technical Specifications,

Combustion Engineering Plants’’ dated

April 1995. NUREG–1432 has been

developed through working groups

composed of both NRC staff members

and industry representative and has

been endorsed by the staff as part of an

industry-wide initiative to standardize

and improve TS. As part of this

submittal, the licensee has applied the

criteria contained in the Commission’s

‘‘Final Policy Statement on Technical

Specification Improvements for Nuclear

Power Reactors (final policy

statement),’’ published in the Federal

Register on July 22, 1993 (58 FR 39132),

to the current Calvert Cliffs TSs, and,

using NUREG–1432 as a basis,

developed a proposed set of improved

TSs for Calvert Cliffs. The criteria in the

final policy statement were

subsequently added to 10 CFR 50.36,

‘‘Technical Specifications,’’ in a rule

change which was published in the

Federal Register on July 19, 1995 (60 FR

36953) and became effective on August

18, 1995.

The licensee has categorized the

proposed changes to the existing TSs

into five general groupings. These

groupings are characterized as

administrative changes, relocated

changes, more restrictive changes, less

restrictive changes, and removed detail.

Administrative changes are those that

involve restructuring, renumbering,
