SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Obtaining Information and Submitting Comments

A. Obtaining Information

    Please refer to Docket ID NRC-2018-0113 when contacting the NRC 
about the availability of information for this action. You may obtain 
publicly-available information related to this action by any of the 
following methods:
     Federal Rulemaking website: Go to http://www.regulations.gov and search for Docket ID NRC-2018-0113.
     NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System 
(ADAMS): You may obtain publicly-available documents online in the 
ADAMS Public Documents collection at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. To begin the search, select ``ADAMS Public Documents'' and 
then select ``Begin Web-based ADAMS Search.'' For problems with ADAMS, 
please contact the NRC's Public Document Room (PDR) reference staff at 
1-800-397-4209, 301-415-4737, or by email to [email protected]. The 
Draft NRC Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2018-XX, ``Clarification of 
Export Reporting Requirements for Nuclear Facilities, Equipment, and 
Non-Nuclear Materials,'' is available in ADAMS under Accession No. 
ML17338A944.
     NRC's PDR: You may examine and purchase copies of public 
documents at the NRC's PDR, Room O1-F21, One White Flint North, 11555 
Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 20852.

B. Submitting Comments

    Please include Docket ID NRC-2018-0113 in your comment submission.
    The NRC cautions you not to include identifying or contact 
information that you do not want to be publicly disclosed in your 
comment submission. The NRC will post all comment submissions at http://www.regulations.gov as well as enter the comment submissions into 
ADAMS. The NRC does not routinely edit comment submissions to remove 
identifying or contact information.
    If you are requesting or aggregating comments from other persons 
for submission to the NRC, then you should inform those persons not to 
include identifying or contact information that they do not want to be 
publicly disclosed in their comment submission. Your request should 
state that the NRC does not routinely edit comment submissions to 
remove such information before making the comment submissions available 
to the public or entering the comment into ADAMS.

II. Background

    The RIS is intended for all persons that are required to report 
exports of nuclear materials, equipment, and non-nuclear materials 
under part 110 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), 
``Export and Import of Nuclear Equipment and Material.'' Specifically, 
the RIS is intended to clarify the reporting requirements under 10 CFR 
110.54(a)(1). The regulation in 10 CFR 110.54(a)(1) states, in part, 
that licensees exporting nuclear facilities, equipment, and certain 
non-nuclear materials under a general or specific license during the 
previous quarter must submit reports by January 15, April 15, July 15, 
and October 15 of each year on DOC/NRC Forms AP-M or AP-13, and 
associated forms. The draft RIS includes information relating to this 
reporting requirement and clarifies that the quarterly reporting 
requirement is in addition to, and not obviated by, the separate NRC 
annual reporting requirement in 10 CFR 110.54(c).
    The NRC issues RISs to communicate with stakeholders on a broad 
range of matters. This may include communicating and clarifying NRC 
technical or policy positions on regulatory matters that have not been 
communicated to, or are not broadly understood by, the nuclear 
industry. As noted in 83 FR 20858 (May 8, 2018), this document is being 
published in the Proposed Rules section of the Federal Register to 
comply with publication requirements under 1 CFR chapter I.

Proposed Action

    The NRC is requesting public comments on the draft RIS. All 
comments that are to receive consideration in the final RIS must still 
be submitted electronically or in writing as indicated in the ADDRESSES 
section of this document. The NRC staff will make a final determination 
regarding issuance of the RIS after it considers any public comments 
received in response to this request.
