SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title and OMB Number: Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation

Protocol; OMB Control Number 0704-0454.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit and not-for-profit

    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Number of Respondents: 10.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 10.
    Average Burden per Response: 1 hours.
    Annual Burden Hours: 10.
    Needs and Uses: This information collection is necessary to provide 
for protection of information or activities with national security 
significance. As such, this information collection requires contractors 
to comply with the notification process in the contract clause at DFARS 
252.204-7010, Requirement for Contractor to Notify DoD if the 
Contractor's Activities are Subject to Reporting Under the U.S.-
International Atomic Energy Agency Additional Protocol.
    Under the U.S.-International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Additional 
Protocol, the United States is required to declare a wide range of 
public and private nuclear-related activities to the IAEA and 
potentially provide access to IAEA inspectors for verification 
purposes. The U.S.-IAEA Additional Protocol permits the United States 
unilaterally to declare exclusions from inspection requirements for 
activities with direct national security significance.
    The contract clause at DFARS 252.204-7010, as prescribed at DFARS 
204.470-3, is included in contracts for research and development or 
major defense acquisition programs involving fissionable materials 
(e.g., uranium, plutonium, neptunium, thorium, americium); other 
radiological source materials; or technologies directly related to 
nuclear power production, including nuclear or radiological waste 
materials.
    The clause requires a contractor to provide written notification to 
the applicable DoD program manager and a copy of the notification to 
the contracting officer if the contractor is required to report its 
activities under the U.S.-IAEA Additional Protocol. Upon such 
notification, DoD will determine if access may be granted to IAEA 
inspectors, or if a national security exclusion should be applied.
    DoD Clearance Officer: Mr. Tucker Lucas. Requests for copies of the 
information collection proposal should be sent to Mr. Lucas at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#86f1eef5a8ebe5abe7eae3fea8e3f5e2a8ebe4fea8e2e2abe2e9e2abefe8e0e9f4ebe7f2efe9e8abe5e9eaeae3e5f2efe9e8f5c6ebe7efeaa8ebefea"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="42352a316c2f216f232e273a6c2731266c2f203a6c26266f262d266f2b2c242d302f23362b2d2c6f212d2e2e2721362b2d2c31022f232b2e6c2f2b2e">[email protected]</span></a>.
