## Abstract

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its regulations which require licensees to report their holdings of source material (uranium and thorium) to the agency. Currently, licensees are required to file a report with the NRC whenever they receive or transfer uranium or thorium mined outside the United States (U.S.). The amended regulations require licensees to report the receipt or transfer of source material controlled under any of the various international Agreements for Peaceful Nuclear Cooperation. This change will enable the U.S. Government to maintain the comprehensive national inventory of nuclear materials required under these agreements. This rule also allows licensees additional flexibility in submitting their annual source material inventory statements. The amended regulations permit licensees to submit these statements along with their material status reports for special nuclear material.
