AGENCY: Defense Acquisition Regulations System, Department of Defense 
(DoD).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Defense Acquisition Regulations System has submitted to 
OMB for clearance the following proposed revision of a currently 
approved collection of information under the provisions of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act.

DATES: Consideration will be given to all comments received by 
September 7, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title, Associated Form, and OMB Number: Defense Federal Acquisition 
Regulation Supplement (DFARS), U.S.-International Atomic Energy Agency 
Additional Protocol; OMB Control Number 0704-0454.
    Affected Public: Businesses and other for-profit entities and not-
for-profit institutions.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Number of Respondents: 10.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 10.
    Average Burden per Response: 1 hour.
    Annual Response Burden Hours: 10.
    Reporting Frequency: On occasion.
    Needs and Uses: 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.
    Comments and recommendations on the proposed information collection 
should be sent to Ms. Susan Minson, DoD Desk Officer, at 
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#9cd3f5eefdc3efe9fef1f5efeff5f3f2dcf3f1feb2f9f3ecb2fbf3ea"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="57183e2536082422353a3e24243e383917383a357932382779303821">[email protected]</span></a>. Please identify the proposed information
