technical data, publications, MWO/ECP,
technical assistance, and training, and
other related elements of logistics and
program support. The estimated total
case value is $58.2 million.
This proposed sale will enhance the
foreign policy and national security
objectives of the United States by
helping to improve the security of the
Netherlands which has been, and
continues to be an important force for
political stability and economic progress
in Europe. It is vital to the U.S. national
interest to assist the Netherlands to
develop and maintain a strong and
ready self-defense capability.
The proposed sale will improve the
Netherlands’ capability to meet current
and future threats and will be employed
on the Netherlands’ AH–64D Apache
helicopters. The Netherlands will use
the enhanced capability to strengthen its
homeland defense, deter regional
threats, and provide direct support to
coalition and security cooperation
operations. The Netherlands will have
no difficulty absorbing these systems
into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of these systems
will not alter the basic military balance
in the region.
The principal contractor will be BAE
Systems, Nashua, NH. There are no
known offset agreements proposed in
connection with this potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale
will not require the assignment of any
additional U.S. Government personnel
or contractor representatives to the
Netherlands.
There will be no adverse impact on
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Energy Information Administration
Agency Information Collection
Extension With Changes
U.S. Energy Information
Administration (EIA), Department of
Energy.
ACTION: Notice and request for OMB
review and comment.
AGENCY:

EIA has submitted an
information collection request to OMB
for extension under the provisions of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
The information collection requests a
three-year extension with changes of its
Petroleum Marketing Program, OMB
Control Number 1905–0174. The
Petroleum Marketing Program collects
and publishes data on the nature,
structure, and efficiency of petroleum
markets at national, regional, and state
levels. Through integration of the
program’s ten surveys, EIA monitors
petroleum volumes and prices as the
commodity moves through various
stages such as the importation of raw
material, physical and financial transfer
of material off extraction sites,
refinement to finished products,
transfer/distribution from refiners to
retail outlets, and sales to ultimate
consumers.

SUMMARY:

Comments regarding this
proposed information collection must
be received on or before August 28,
2017. If you anticipate that you will be
submitting comments, but find it
difficult to do so within the period of
time allowed by this notice, please
advise the DOE Desk Officer at OMB of
your intention to make a submission as
soon as possible. The Desk Officer may
be telephoned at 202–395–4718.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should
be sent to the DOE Desk Officer, Office
of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget, New
Executive Office Building, Room 10102,

(4a) Proposed Changes to Information
Collection:
Form EIA–182: Domestic Crude Oil First
Purchase Report
EIA is replacing ‘‘North Dakota
Sweet’’ crude stream with ‘‘North
Dakota Bakken’’ crude stream. This is
due to increased crude oil production of
the Bakken crude steam, and will
provide accurate price estimates for the
domestic crude stream. ‘‘North Dakota
Sweet’’ purchase information will
continue to be collected in the ‘‘Other
North Dakota,’’ category.
EIA–877: Winter Heating Fuels
Telephone Survey
EIA is adding annual sales volumes of
residential heating oil for statistical
estimation purposes. The addition of the
annual heating oil sales volumes
improves the accuracy of price estimates
because it provides a more accurate
method to calculate a weighted average
point-in-time price.

Form EIA–878: Motor Gasoline Price
Survey
EIA is collecting annual sales volumes
of motor gasoline of regular, mid, and
premium grades on a triennial basis.
The survey will collect this information
from corporate offices of suppliers of
whole sale and retail gasoline,
hypermarkets, and individual station
owners. EIA will use annual sales
volumes of motor gasoline to determine
the measure of size and weights for the
outlets sampled. EIA is also updating its
frame of retail gasoline outlets and
reselecting a sample of retail outlets
utilizing a new sample design. The new
sample will replace the current sample
that reports on Form EIA–878.
(5) Annual Estimated Number of
Respondents: 10,578
(6) Annual Estimated Number of
Total Responses: 125,490
(7) Annual Estimated Number of
Burden Hours: 48,690
(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Cost Burden: $3,775,000.
The cost of the burden hours is
estimated to be $3,586,506 (48,690
burden hours times $73.66 per hour).
EIA estimates that there are no
additional costs to respondents
associated with the surveys other than
the costs associated with the burden
hours.
Statutory Authority: Section 13(b) of the

AGENCY:

EIA, pursuant to the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
intends to extend (with changes) for
three years with the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), Form
GC–859 Nuclear Fuel Data Survey, OMB
Control Number 1901–0287. Form GC–
859 Nuclear Fuel Data Survey collects
data on spent nuclear fuel from all
utilities that operate commercial nuclear
reactors and from all others that possess
irradiated fuel from commercial nuclear
reactors. Comments are invited on:
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;
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;
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and 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 September 25,
2017. 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, Office of
Electricity, Coal, Nuclear, and

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Requests for additional information or

instrument and instructions should be
directed to Marta Gospodarczyk at the
contact information given above. Form
GC–859 is available on the internet at
https://www.eia.gov/survey/#gc-859.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
information collection request contains:
(1) OMB No.: 1901–0287.
(2) Information Collection Request
Title: Nuclear Fuel Data Survey.
(3) Type of Request: Renewal.
(4) Purpose: The Nuclear Waste Policy
Act of 1982 (42 U.S.C. 10101 et seq.)
required that the DOE enter into
Standard Contracts with all generators
or owners of spent nuclear fuel and
high-level radioactive waste of domestic
origin. Form GC–859 (formerly Form
RW–859) originated from an appendix
to this Standard Contract.
Form GC–859 Nuclear Fuel Data
Survey collects information on nuclear
fuel use and spent fuel discharges from
all utilities that operate commercial
nuclear reactors and from all others that
possess irradiated fuel from commercial
nuclear reactors. The data collection
provides stakeholders with detailed
information concerning the spent
nuclear fuel generated by the
respondents (commercial utility
generators of spent nuclear fuel and
other owners of spent nuclear fuel
within the U.S.).
Data collected from the survey are
utilized by personnel from DOE Office
of Nuclear Energy (NE), DOE Office of
Environmental Management (EM), and
the national laboratories to meet their
research objectives of developing a
range of options and supporting
analyses that facilitate informed choices
about how best to manage spent nuclear
fuel (SNF).
(4a) Proposed Changes to Information
Collection
• Collection of fuel manufacturer and
lattice size used in Section C.1.1 of the
2013 GC–859 will be replaced by fuel
assembly type codes in Section C.1.3.
Fuel assembly type codes were last
collected in the 2003 RW–859. Selection
boxes were added to this section to
reduce reporting burden. Respondents
may mark the fuel assembly type code
based on the reactor design, previously
used fuel types, range of assembly
identification numbers, and initial cycle
in core. Identification of fuel assembly
type provides significantly more
information to analyze the spent fuel.
• Cumulative cycle burnup for each
assembly is added to Section C.1.2 of
the survey. Respondents may
voluntarily report this data. Assembly
