ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC or the Commission) 

is amending its export and import 

regulations by removing Oman from the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The purpose of this final rule is to 

revise the NRC’s export and import 

regulations in Title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 110, 

‘‘Export and Import of Nuclear 

Equipment and Material,’’ with regard 

to U.S. Government law and policy on 

Oman. The Executive Branch 

recommended, in light of current 

foreign policy and nonproliferationrelated actions taken and polices 

pursued by the Government of Oman, 

that the NRC amend Part 110 to remove 

Oman from the list of restricted 

destinations in § 110.29. This means 

that exports of certain nuclear and 

byproduct materials to Oman may 

qualify for the NRC general license 

specified in §§ 110.21 through 110.24.

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 38 / Monday, February 27, 2012 / Rules and Regulations 11385 

At present, Oman has no nuclear 

research or power program; however, 

Oman does have the need for 

radioactive sources for legitimate 

industrial, medical, and research 

purposes in support of important 

economic and commercial development 

projects. Exports of radioactive sources 

from the United States for such 

purposes would be facilitated by 

removal of Oman from the restricted 

destinations list in Part 110. 

The NRC staff has determined that 

removing Oman from the restricted 

destinations list is consistent with 

current U.S. law and policy, and will 

pose no unreasonable risk to the public 

health and safety or to the common 

defense and security of the United 

States 

Because this rule involves a foreign 

affairs function of the United States, the 

notice and comment provisions of the 

Administrative Procedure Act do not 

apply (5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1)). This rule will 

become effective immediately upon 

publication. 

II. Voluntary Consensus Standards 

The National Technology Transfer 

and Advancement Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 

104–113) requires that Federal Agencies 

use technical standards that are 

developed or adopted by voluntary 

consensus standards bodies unless, 

using such a standard is inconsistent 

with applicable law or otherwise 

impractical. This final rule does not 

constitute the establishment of a 

standard for which the use of a 

voluntary consensus standard would be 

applicable. 

III. Environmental Impact: Categorical 

Exclusion 

The NRC has determined that this 

final rule is the type of action described 

in categorical exclusion 10 CFR 

51.22(c)(1). Therefore, neither an 

environmental impact statement nor an 

environmental assessment has been 

prepared for the rule. 

IV. Paperwork Reduction Act 

Statement 

This final rule does not contain new 

or amended information collection 

requirements subject to the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 

et seq.). Existing requirements were 

approved by the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB), Approval Number 

3150–0036. 

Public Protection Notification 

The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, 

and a person is not required to respond 

to, a request for information or an 

information collection requirement 

unless the requesting document 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. 

V. Regulatory Analysis 

Removal of Oman from the restricted 

destinations list in § 110.29 means that 

exports of certain radioactive materials 

to Oman may qualify for the NRC 

general license specified in §§ 110.21 

through 110.24. There is no alternative 

to amending the regulations for the 

export and import of nuclear equipment 

and materials. This final rule is 

expected to have no changes in the 

information collection burden or cost to 

the public. 

VI. Regulatory Flexibility Certification 

As required by the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act of 1980 (5 U.S.C. 605(b)), 

the Commission certifies that this final 

rule will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. This rule 

affects only companies exporting 

nuclear equipment and materials to 

Oman which do not fall within the 

scope of the definition of ‘‘small 

entities’’ set forth in the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601(3)), or the 

Size Standards established by the NRC 

(10 CFR 2.810). 

VII. Backfit Analysis 

The NRC has determined that a 

backfit analysis is not required for this 

rule, because these amendments do not 

include any provisions that would 

impose backfits as defined in 10 CFR 

Chapter I. 

VIII. Congressional Review Act 

Under the Congressional Review Act 

of 1996, the NRC has determined that 

this action is not a major rule and has 

verified this determination with the 

Office of Information and Regulatory 

Affairs of OMB.
