DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Energy Information Administration
Agency Information Collection
Extension
Energy Information
Administration (EIA), Department of
Energy (DOE).
ACTION: Agency information collection
activities: Information collection
extension; notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:

The Nuclear Waste Policy Act
(NWPA) of 1982 required that DOE
enter into Standard Contracts with all
generators or owners of spent nuclear
fuel and high-level radioactive waste of
domestic origin. EIA, pursuant to the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
intends to extend for three years, Form
NWPA–830G, ‘‘Appendix G-Standard
Remittance Advice for Payment of Fees
(including Annex A to Appendix G),’’
with the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB). Form NWPA–830G is
part of the Standard Contract for
Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel and/or
High-Level Radioactive Waste.
Generators and owners of spent nuclear
fuel and high-level radioactive waste of
domestic origin paid fees into the
nuclear waste fund based on net
electricity generated and sold as defined
in the Standard Contract.
In November 2013, a federal appeals
court ruled that DOE must cease
collection of the Spent Nuclear Fuel
Disposal Fee. DOE determined that,
effective May 16, 2014, the fee is
reduced from 1.0 Mil per kilowatt-hour
($1 per megawatt-hour) to 0.0 Mil per
kilowatt-hour ($0 per megawatt-hour),
ultimately reducing to zero the quarterly
collection of fees from domestic
generators of nuclear electricity.
However, through its Office of the
General Counsel, DOE has directed EIA
to continue activities associated with
the collection and verification of net
electricity generation data and
estimation of the spent nuclear fuel
disposal fees that would otherwise
accrue from this generation. Comments
are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.
DATES: Comments regarding this
proposed information collection must
be received on or before August 25,
2015. If you anticipate difficulty in
submitting comments within that
period, contact the person listed in
ADDRESSES as soon as possible.
ADDRESSES: Written comments may be
sent to Marta Gospodarczyk. To ensure
receipt of the comments by the due date,
submission by email
([email protected]) is
recommended. The mailing address is
Office of Electricity, Coal, Nuclear, and
Renewables Analysis, EI–34, Forrestal
Building, U.S. Department of Energy,
Washington, DC 20585. Alternatively,
Ms. Gospodarczyk may be contacted by
telephone at 202–586–0527.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Requests for additional information or
copies of any forms and instructions
should be directed to Ms. Gospodarczyk
at the address listed above. The Form
NWPA–830G, ‘‘Appendix G-Standard
Remittance Advice for Payment of
Fees,’’ including Annex A to Appendix
G, may also be viewed here: http://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
information collection request contains:
(1) OMB No. 1901–0260;
(2) Information Collection Request
Title: Standard Contract for Disposal of
Spent Nuclear Fuel and/or High-Level
Radioactive Waste;
(3) Type of Request: Three-year
extension;
(4) Purpose: The Federal Energy
Administration Act of 1974 (15 U.S.C.
761 et seq.) and the DOE Organization
Act (42 U.S.C. 7101 et seq.) require 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.
EIA, as part of its effort to comply
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of

1995 (44 U.S.C. 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
EIA. Also, EIA will later seek approval
for this collection by OMB under
Section 3507(a) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995.
The Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982
(42 U.S.C. 10101 et seq.) required that
DOE enter into Standard Contracts with
all generators or owners of spent nuclear
fuel and high-level radioactive waste of
domestic origin. Form NWPA–830G,
‘‘Appendix G-Standard Remittance
Advice for Payment of Fees,’’ including
Annex A to Appendix G, is an
Appendix to this Standard Contract.
Appendix G and Annex A to Appendix
G are commonly referred to as
Remittance Advice (RA) forms. RA
forms must be submitted quarterly by
generators and owners of spent nuclear
fuel and high-level radioactive waste of
domestic origin who signed the
Standard Contract. Appendix G is
designed to serve as the source
document for entries into DOE
accounting records to transmit data to
DOE concerning payment of fees into
the Nuclear Waste Fund for spent
nuclear fuel and high-level waste
disposal. Annex A to Appendix G is
used to provide data on the amount of
net electricity generated and sold, upon
which these fees are based.
Please refer to the proposed forms and
instructions for more information about
the purpose, who must report, when to
report, where to submit, the elements to
be reported, detailed instructions,
provisions for confidentiality, and uses
(including possible non-statistical uses)
of the information. For instructions on
obtaining materials, see the ‘‘For Further
Information Contact’’ section.

Collection: No changes are proposed;
(5) Annual Estimated Number of
Respondents: 100;
(6) Annual Estimated Number of
Total Responses: 400;
(7) Annual Estimated Number of
Burden Hours: 2,000;
(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Cost Burden: EIA
estimates that there are no additional
costs to respondents associated with the
surveys other than the costs associated
with the burden hours. The information
is maintained in the normal course of
business. The cost of burden hours to
the respondents is estimated to be
$143,940 ($71.97 per hour × 2,000
hours). Therefore, other than the cost of
burden hours, EIA estimates that there
are no additional costs for generating,
