B. STATISTICAL METHODS

1. Respondent Universe

The EIA Uranium Data Program (UDP) respondent universe consists of 102 respondents (this number may change over time as firms enter or leave the industry). The UDP collects information on firms and individuals that are involved in the (domestic) U.S. uranium industry. See the form instructions for specifics on the populations surveyed by each form. Fourteen respondents with existing or planned uranium production facilities report (quarterly) on the Form EIA-851Q. Fifty-three respondents report (annually) on Form EIA-851A, the 14 Form EIA-851Q respondents plus another 39 respondents with uranium land, exploration, drilling, mining, reserves, and/or reclamation activities in the United States. Sixty respondents report (annually) on Form EIA-858, 32 owners and operators of U.S. civilian nuclear power reactors and 28 U.S. suppliers. There are a total of 102 respondents who file a total of 169 forms annually, as some respondents report on more than one of the UDP forms.
