EIA's Uranium Data Program collects basic data necessary to meet EIA's legislative mandates as well as the needs of EIA's public and private customers. Data collected include uraniam exploration, reserves, production, processing, and marketing. The data are used for analyses and publications. Respondents include firms and individuals that comprise the U.S. uranium industry.
Cause of the increase due to agency discretions (+110 hours) is due to adding elements to the form, which increased the burden per response on the form EIA-851A. The cause of the increase in burden hours due to adjustments (+236 hours) is due to the change in the number of respondents.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
