DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Instructions for Requesting an 

Exception From the Secretary of 

Energy Under Presidential 

Proclamation Relating to the 

Regulation of the Anchorage and 

Movement of Russian-Affiliated 

Vessels to United States Ports 

AGENCY: Office of Nuclear Energy, 

Department of Energy (DOE). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Per Proclamation 10371, 

‘‘Declaration of National Emergency and 

Invocation of Emergency Authority 

Relating to the Regulation of the 

Anchorage and Movement of RussianAffiliated Vessels to United States 

Ports’’ (‘‘the Proclamation’’), DOE is 

providing instructions for requesting an 

exception from the Secretary of Energy 

to the prohibition set forth in the 

Proclamation. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

John Krohn, Office of Nuclear Energy, 

Department of Energy, Phone: (202) 

586–7246, Email: shipmentwaiver@

nuclear.energy.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

policies and actions of the Government 

of the Russian Federation to continue 

the premeditated, unjustified, 

unprovoked, and brutal war against 

Ukraine constitute a national emergency 

by reason of a disturbance or threatened 

disturbance of international relations of 

the United States. In order to address 

this national emergency and secure the 

observance of the rights and obligations 

of the United States, President Biden, by 

his authority under the Constitution and 

the laws of the United States of 

America, including the National 

Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) 

and section 1 of title II of Public Law 

65–24, ch. 30, June 15, 1917, as 

amended (Magnuson Act) (46 U.S.C. 

70051), has authorized the Secretary of 

Homeland Security to make and issue 

such rules and regulations as 

appropriate to regulate the anchorage 

and movement of Russian-affiliated 

vessels, and delegated to the Secretary 

of Homeland Security the authority to 

approve such rules and regulations, as 

authorized by the Magnuson Act. 

Prohibition 

Pursuant to the Proclamation, 

Russian-affiliated vessels are prohibited 

from entering into United States ports 

effective April 28, 2022, subject to two 

limited exceptions. One such exception 

(Sec. 2(a) of the Proclamation) applies to 

Russian-affiliated vessels used in the 

transport of source material, special 

nuclear material (SNM), and byproduct 

material for which, and for such time as, 

the Secretary of Energy, in consultation 

with the Secretaries of State and 

Commerce, determines that there is no 

viable source of supply available that 

would not require transport by Russianaffiliated vessels. 

Application for Secretarial 

Determination 

This notice sets forth the instructions 

to request an exception pursuant to 

Section 2(a) of the prohibition set forth 

in Section 1 of Proclamation 10371. 

1. Applicants requesting a 

determination from the Secretary of 

Energy for a Section 2(a) exception to 

the Section 1 prohibition should submit 

their request to John Krohn, Office of 

Nuclear Energy, Department of Energy, 

1000 Independence Avenue SW, 

Washington, DC 20585, phone: 202– 

586–7246 email: shipmentwaiver@

nuclear.energy.gov. It is recommended 

that requests be submitted electronically 

via email. 

2. The request should contain the 

following information: 

Name, address, and contact 

information of Applicant. 

a. Date of anticipated entry into a U.S. 

port. 

b. Description of the source material, 

special nuclear material, or nuclear 

byproduct material, including name and 

contact information of end-user, end use 

of material, and location of end use if 

different from the Applicant. 

c. Explanation of why there is no 

viable source of supply of such 

material(s), which is either available 

domestically or does not require 

transport on a Russian-affiliated vessel. 

d. Impact if material(s) requested 

cannot enter the United States on a 

Russian-affiliated vessel. 

e. Any other information that could 

assist the Secretary of Energy in making 

this determination. 

3. Confidential Business Information. 

Pursuant to 10 CFR 1004.11, any person 

submitting information that he or she 

believes to be confidential and exempt 

by law from public disclosure should 

submit via email two well-marked 

copies: One copy of the document 

marked confidential including all the 

information believed to be confidential, 

and one copy of the document marked 

non-confidential with the information 

believed to be confidential deleted. DOE 

will make its own determination about 

the confidential status of the 

information and treat it according to its 

determination. 

Definitions 

Pursuant to Section 3 of Proclamation 

10371, the term ‘‘Russian-affiliated 

vessels’’ means: 

(i) Vessels of Russian registry (i.e., the 

vessel is Russian flagged); 

(ii) Vessels that are Russian owned 

(i.e., the legal title of ownership of the 

vessel that appears on the ship’s 

registration documents is the 

Government of the Russian Federation 

or a Russian company, citizen, or 

permanent resident); or 

(iii) Vessels that are Russian operated 

(i.e., a Russian company, citizen, or 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1
25630 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 84 / Monday, May 2, 2022 / Notices 

permanent resident is responsible for 

the commercial decisions concerning 

the employment of a ship and decides 

how and where that asset is employed). 

The term ‘‘byproduct material’’ has 

the same meaning given to that term in 

section 11(e) of the Atomic Energy Act 

of 1954, as amended (AEA) (42 U.S.C. 

2014(e)). The term ‘‘source material’’ 

has the same meaning given to that term 

in section 11(z) of the AEA (42 U.S.C. 

2014(z)). The term ‘‘special nuclear 

material’’ has the same meaning given to 

that term in section 11(aa) of the AEA 

(42 U.S.C. 2014(aa)). 

Review Under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act 

The collection-of-information 

requirement for an Exception from the 

Secretary of Energy under the 

Proclamation is subject to review and 

approval by OMB under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (‘‘PRA’’). This 

requirement has been approved by OMB 

under OMB control number 1910–5195. 

Public reporting burden for the 

certification is estimated to average 2 

hours per response, including the time 

for reviewing instructions, searching 

existing data sources, gathering and 

maintaining the data needed, and 

completing and reviewing the collection 

of information. 

Notwithstanding any other provision 

of the law, no person is required to 

respond to, nor shall any person be 

subject to a penalty for failure to comply 

with, a collection of information subject 

to the requirements of the PRA, unless 

that collection of information displays a 

currently valid OMB Control Number 

1910–5195.

Energy was signed on April 27, 2022, by
