The U.S. Additional Protocol requires
the United States to declare to the IAEA a number of commercial
nuclear and nuclear-related items, materials, and activities that
may be used for peaceful nuclear purposes, but also would be
necessary elements for a nuclear weapons program. The declaration
submitted under the Additional Protocol will provide the IAEA with
information about additional aspects of the U.S. commercial nuclear
fuel cycle, including: mining and milling of nuclear materials;
buildings on sites of facilities selected by the IAEA from the U.S.
Eligible Facilities List; nuclear-related equipment manufacturing,
assembly, or construction; import and export of nuclear and
nuclear-related items and materials; research and development not
involving nuclear material; and other nuclear material activities
not currently subject to the U.S.-IAEA Safeguards Agreement. The
Protocol also expands IAEA access to locations where these
activities occur.

reports on behalf of the NRC. These reports have increased in 2019
causing an increase in burden hours and also causing an increase in
government costs.
