Fisheries in the Western Pacific; Omnibus Amendment for the Bottomfish and Seamount Groundfish Fisheries, Crustacean Fisheries, and Precious Coral Fisheries of the Western Pacific Region

Revision of NRC Form 7, Application for NRC Export/Import License, Amendment, or Renewal
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is confirming the effective date of June 27, 2006, for the direct final rule that appeared in the Federal Register of April 13, 2006 (71 FR 19102). This direct final rule amended the NRC's regulations that govern the export and import of nuclear material and equipment concerning the use of NRC Form 7, ``Application for NRC Export/Import License, Amendment, or Renewal.'' Recently, the Commission revised NRC Form 7 to consolidate all license requests (i.e., applications for export, import, combined export/import, amendments and renewals) in one application form. Previously, NRC Form 7 was used only for applications for export of nuclear material and equipment. Import license applications, and production or utilization facility export applications, and license amendment and renewal applications were filed by letter. As a result of the revision, these requests, previously made by letter, now will be made using NRC Form 7. The purpose of this rule change is to amend the regulations that govern export and import of nuclear material and equipment to reflect the consolidation of all license requests in one application, NRC Form 7, as revised. This document confirms the effective date.
