savings and jobs. This will be
accomplished by highlighting the ways
participants overcome market barriers
and persistent obstacles with replicable,
marketplace solutions. The program will

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
information collection request contains:
(1) OMB No. 1905–0160;
(2) Information Collection Request
Title: Uranium Data Program;
(3) Type of Request: Three-year
extension;
(4) Purpose:
The Federal Energy Administration
Act of 1974 (Pub. L. 93–275, 15 U.S.C.
761 et seq.) and the DOE Organization
Act (Pub. L. 95–91, 42 U.S.C. 7101 et
seq.) require the EIA to carry out a
centralized, comprehensive, and unified
energy information program. This
program collects, evaluates, assembles,
analyzes, and disseminates information
on energy resource reserves, production,
demand, technology, and related
economic and statistical information.
This information is used to assess the
adequacy of energy resources to meet
near and longer term domestic
demands.
The EIA, as part of its effort to comply
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, (Pub. L. 104–13, 44 U.S.C. chapter
3501 et seq.), provides the general
public and other Federal agencies with
opportunities to comment on collections
of energy information conducted by or
in conjunction with the EIA. Any
comments received help the EIA to
prepare data requests that maximize the
utility of the information collected, and
to assess the burden of collection
requirements on the public. The EIA
will later seek approval by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) under
Section 3507(a) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995.
Form EIA–851A collects annual data
from the U.S. uranium industry on

from the U.S. uranium market on
uranium contracts, deliveries,
inventories, enrichment services
purchased, uranium use in fuel
assemblies, feed deliveries to enrichers,
and unfilled market requirements.
Uranium deliveries, feed deliveries to
enrichers, and unfilled market
requirements are reported both for the
current reporting year and for the
following ten years. The data are used
by Congress and the public. The data

Item 8: Reserve (Reasonably Assured
Resource) Estimate
For each property, provide:
State—Enter the State of the property.
Reserve (Reasonably Assured
Resource) Estimates by Forward Cost
Categories—Enter the reserve
(reasonably assured resource) quantities

for ore, grade, and pounds U3O8 by cost
categories. For reporting purposes, EIA
considers reserves and reasonably
assured resources to be functionally
equivalent. Do not report inferred
resources.
For Form EIA–851Q, EIA purposes to
collect supervisor information in
addition to the responding company,
the parent company, and the contact/
preparer information.
For Form EIA–858, EIA proposes
changes to clarify the instructions for
Item 5, Uranium Feed Deliveries to U.S.
and Foreign Enrichers in the Survey
Year. The proposed instructions are:
Item 5. Uranium Feed Deliveries to
U.S. and Foreign Enrichers in the
Survey Year: Enter the country origins
and associated quantity of uranium feed
shipped to enrichment plants,
indicating each country where
enrichment plant is located.
(5) Annual Estimated Number of
Respondents: 160;
(6) Annual Estimated Number of
Total Responses: 205;
(7) Annual Estimated Number of
Burden Hours: 1,450 hours;

Recordkeeping Cost Burden: $0. There
are no additional costs to respondents
associated with the survey other than
the costs associated with the burden
hours.
