DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Proposed Agency Information 

Collection 

AGENCY: U.S. Department of Energy. 

ACTION: Notice and Request for OMB 

Review and Comment. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy 

(DOE) has submitted to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

clearance, a proposal for collection of 

information under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The 

proposed collection will enable the DOE 

to develop its part of the U.S. 

Government Declaration to the 

International Atomic Energy Agency 

(IAEA) under the Additional Protocol 

(AP) to the U.S.-IAEA International 

Safeguards Agreement. 

DATES: Comments regarding this 

collection must be received on or before 

November 5, 2008. If you anticipate that 

you will be submitting comments, but 

find it difficult to do so within the 

period of time allowed by this notice, 

please advise the OMB Desk Officer as 

soon as possible of your intention to 

make a submission. The Desk Officer’s 

telephone number is 202–395–4650. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments should 

be sent to the DOE Desk Officer, Office 

of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 

Office of Management and Budget, New 

Executive Office Building, Room 10102, 

735 17th Street, NW., Washington, DC 

20503, and to JoAnna Sellen, Office of 

International Regimes and Agreements 

(NA–243), National Nuclear Security 

Administration, 1000 Independence 

Ave., SW., Washington, DC 20585 or by 

fax at 202–586–1348, or by e-mail at 

Joanna.Sellen@nnsa.doe.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Requests for additional information or 

copies of the information collection 

instrument and instructions should be 

directed to JoAnna Sellen. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

information collection request contains: 

(1) OMB No. {’’New’’}; (2) Information 

Collection Request Title: U.S. 

Declaration under Protocol Additional 

to the U.S.-IAEA Safeguards Agreement 

(‘‘Additional Protocol’’); (3) Type of 

Request: {New collection.} (4) Purpose: 

Develop Information for Inclusion by 

the Department of Energy in the United 

States Declaration to the International 

Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) under 

the Additional Protocol to the U.S.- 

IAEA International Safeguards 

Agreement. 

This proposed collection of 

information is pursuant to 

implementing the provisions of the 

Protocol Additional to the Agreement 

Between the United States of America 

and the IAEA for the Application of 

Safeguards in the United States of 

America (the ‘‘Additional Protocol’’ or 

AP). The Additional Protocol is a 

supplement to the existing U.S.-IAEA 

Safeguards Agreement, which entered 

into force in 1980, and the U.S. AP will 

become part of the Safeguards 

Agreement once the U.S. AP enters into 

force. The United States signed the U.S. 

AP in 1998, President Bush submitted it 

to the Senate on May 9, 2002 for the 

Senate’s advice and consent to 

ratification, and the Senate approved a 

resolution providing such advice and 

consent on March 31, 2004. Legislation 

to implement the U.S. AP was enacted 

on December 18, 2006, and is codified 

at 22 U.S.C. 1801, et seq. Entry into 

force of the U.S. AP will take place 

when the President deposits the 

instrument of ratification with the 

IAEA. 

The Department of Energy (DOE) is 

the Lead Agency for implementing the 

Additional Protocol at locations owned, 

operated, or leased by or for DOE, 

including Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC)-licensed or certified 

activities on DOE installations, and, in 

coordination with the Department of 

Defense, non-military locations on 

installations that store or process naval 

reactor fuel (collectively known as 

‘‘DOE Locations’’). This collection of 

information affects only those persons 

performing activities at DOE Locations 

that would be declarable to the IAEA 

under the U.S. AP. The NRC is the Lead 

Agency for locations that are subject to 

the regulatory authority of the NRC, 

pursuant to the NRC’s regulatory 

jurisdiction under the Atomic Energy 

Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2011 

et seq. ), with the exception of those 

NRC-licensed or NRC-certified facilities 

at DOE Locations. The Department of 

Commerce (DOC) is the Lead Agency for 

all other locations in the United States, 

except DOE Locations and those 

locations for which the NRC is the Lead 

Agency. All persons, including DOE 

contractors performing declarable 

activities at locations other than those 

for which DOE is the Lead Agency, 

would submit their declarations for 

these activities at non-DOE locations to 

either the NRC or DOC, as appropriate. 

The Department of Energy proposes to 

collect information that is required for 

submission under the U.S. AP. 

Collecting this information from those 

persons who are actually performing 

declarable activities at DOE Locations 

provides the most effective and efficient 

way for DOE to identify such declarable 

activities and the locations associated 

with such activities, and to compile 

accurate and timely information on such 

activities. 

All reporting requirements that are 

applicable to respondents making their 

declarations through DOE can be found 

in Article 2.a of the U.S. AP. These 

activities are considered to be funded, 

specifically authorized or controlled by, 

or carried out on behalf of, the United 

States, by virtue of the fact that the 

Department of Energy, as an agency of 

the U.S. Government controls all 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
58216 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 194 / Monday, October 6, 2008 / Notices 

activities, regardless of performer, that 

occur at its installations. 

(5) Type of Respondents: Respondents 

will primarily include DOE 

Management and Operations (M&O) 

contractors operating DOE installations 

and facilities. (6) Estimated Number of 

Respondents: DOE estimates that the 

number of respondents submitting their 

declaration under the U.S. AP through 

DOE will range from 10–15. The number 

will fluctuate on an annual basis. 

However, any person performing a 

declarable activity at a location for 

which DOE is the Lead Agency must 

report that activity through DOE, and 

the identity of such persons might 

change from year to year as declarable 

activities are initiated or terminated. (7) 

Estimated Number of Burden Hours: 

The burden in person-hours of 

responding to the proposed collection of 

information will depend on the number 

of declarable activities at the 

respondent’s location. This estimate 

includes the effort required to identify 

these activities, collect information on 

them, complete the declarations, and 

submit them to DOE. This effort per 

collection might range from as low as 40 

hours, for a person with one or two 

declarable activities, to as many as 400 

hours, for a person with 30–40 

declarable activities. This effort 

includes annual effort expended in 

maintaining and training with the 

software provided by DOE to collect and 

report the information as well as making 

the declaration. 

Statutory Authority: 22 U.S.C. 1801, et seq. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on September 

30, 2008.
