Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 184 / Tuesday, September 22, 2020 / Notices

Type of Review: An extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
Local and Tribal Organizations.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 9,861.
Total Estimated Number of Annual

Abstract: The Department is
requesting an extension of the approval
for the Generic Application Package that
numerous ED discretionary grant
programs use to provide to applicants
the forms and information needed to
apply for new grants under those grant
program competitions. The Department
will use this Generic Application
package for discretionary grant
programs that: (1) Use the standard ED
or Federal-wide grant applications
forms that have been cleared separately
through OMB under the terms of this
generic clearance as approved by OMB
and (2) use selection criteria from the
Education Department General
Administrative Regulations (EDGAR);
selection criteria that reflect statutory or
regulatory provisions that have been
developed under 34 CFR 75.209, 75.210,
or a combination of EDGAR, statutory or
‘‘approved’’ regulatory criteria or other
provisions, as authorized under 34 CFR
75.200, 75.209 and 75.210. The use of
the standard ED grant application forms
and the use of EDGAR and/or criteria
developed under §§ 75.200 and 75.209,
and 75.210 promotes the
standardization and streamlining of ED
discretionary grant application
packages.

uranium industry on uranium milling
and processing, uranium feed sources,
uranium mining, employment, drilling,
expenditures, and uranium reserves;
Form EIA–851Q Domestic Uranium
Production Report (Quarterly), which
collects monthly data that is reported on
a quarterly basis, on uranium
production on a quarterly basis; and
Form EIA–858 Uranium Marketing
Annual Survey, which collects annual

data from the U.S. uranium market on
uranium contracts and deliveries,
inventories, enrichment services
purchased, uranium in fuel assemblies,
feed deliveries to enrichers, and unfilled
market requirements for the current year
and the following ten years.
DATES: EIA must receive all comments
on this proposed information collection
no later than November 23, 2020. If you
anticipate any difficulties in submitting
your comments by the deadline, contact
the person listed in ADDRESSES section
of this notice as soon as possible.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to Tim
Shear by email to Uranium2021@
eia.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tim
Shear, U.S. Energy Information
Administration, telephone (202) 586–
0403, email [email protected]. The
draft forms and instructions are
available at https://www.eia.gov/survey/
changes/uranium/2020/.
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 with changes;
(4) Purpose: Uranium Data Program
collects data on domestic uranium
supply and demand activities, including
production, exploration and
development, trade, purchases and sales
available to the U.S. The users of these
data include Congress, Executive
Branch agencies, the nuclear and
uranium industry, electric power
industry, and the public. Form EIA–
851A data is published in EIA’s
Domestic Uranium Production Report—
Annual, at http://www.eia.gov/uranium/
production/annual/. Form EIA–851Q
data is published in EIA’s Domestic
Uranium Production Report—Quarterly

(4a) Proposed change to information
collection: EIA will no longer protect
information reported on Form EIA–
851A and EIA–851Q under the
Confidential Information Protection and
Statistical Efficiency Act of 2018
(CIPSEA). Information reported on Form
EIA–858 will continue to be protected
under CIPSEA.
EIA proposes to apply exemptions
under the Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA) to protect information reported
on Forms EIA–851A and EIA–851Q

except for production data. Production
data will be considered public and may
be publicly released in an identifiable
form. For the past six years, the items
‘‘Respondent and Contact
Identification’’, ‘‘Company Name’’, and
all of ‘‘Item 1: Facility Information’’ on
Forms EIA–851Q and EIA–851A are
considered public information and are
publicly released in company or
individually identifiable form on EIA’s
website. Data protection methods will
continue to be applied to the statistical
information reported on Forms EIA–
851A and EIA–851Q, except for
production data.
The data protection statement in the
instructions to Forms EIA–851A and
EIA–851Q will state:
The ‘Respondent and Contact
Identification’ (Company Name), ‘Item 1:
Facility Information’, and production data
reported on Form EIA–851Q/A are
considered public information and may be
released in company identifiable form.
Additional information reported on this form
may be protected and may not be disclosed
to the public to the extent that it satisfies the
criteria for exemption under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552, the
Department of Energy (DOE) regulations, 10
CFR 1004, implementing the FOIA, and the
Trade Secrets Act, 18 U.S.C. 1905.
The Federal Energy Administration Act
requires EIA to provide company-specific
data to other Federal agencies when
requested for official use. The information
reported on this form may also be made
available, upon request, to another
component of the Department of Energy
(DOE); to any Committee of Congress, the
Government Accountability Office, or other
Federal agencies authorized by law to receive
such information. A court of competent
jurisdiction may obtain this information in
response to an order. The information may be
used for any non-statistical purposes such as
administrative, regulatory, law enforcement,
or adjudicatory purposes.
Data protection methods are applied to the
statistical information reported on Forms
EIA–851A and EIA–851Q, except for
production data.

The reason EIA is proposing this
change in the data protection for Forms
EIA–851A and EIA–851Q is due to a
material change in circumstances that
occurred over the past 15 years in the
domestic uranium production markets
that was unforeseen when EIA initially
placed these surveys under CIPSEA
protection in 2004. Domestic uranium
production has significantly decreased
from a recent high of 4,891 thousand
pounds U3O8 in 2014 to 174 thousand
pounds U3O8 in 2019. Over 90% of the
uranium purchased by owners and
operators of U.S. civilian nuclear power
reactors in 2018 and 2019 was from
uranium imports of foreign origin. The
number of respondents reporting

PO 00000

Frm 00008

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

domestic production has steadily
declined over the past 15 years as
imports of uranium dominate U.S.
uranium markets and domestic firms
either cease operations or merge with
other companies. As fewer respondents
contribute to the published aggregates,
EIA needs to withhold from publication
all of the data at the state and regional
level. The practical utility of the
information collected is undermined by
EIA withholding most of the data it
collects on these survey forms.
Cognitive research showed that the
majority of the respondents to Forms
EIA–851A and EIA–851Q are not
concerned if informed users infer
reported values from published
statistical aggregates in data tables. The
main reason survey respondents
provided was that the information
reported on Forms EIA–851A and EIA–
851Q is already publicly available. In
addition, since 2016, the current
instructions to Forms EIA–851A and
EIA–851Q have stated the name and
address of the respondent are
considered public information.
(5) Annual Estimated Number of
Respondents: 102;
(6) Annual Estimated Number of
Total Responses: 135;
(7) Annual Estimated Number of
Burden Hours: 1098;
(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Cost Burden: EIA
estimates that there are no capital and
start-up costs associated with this data
collection. The information is
maintained during the normal course of
business. The cost of the burden hours
is estimated to be $87,993.72 (1,098
burden hours times $80.14 per hour).
Other than the cost of burden hours, EIA
estimates that there are no additional
costs for generating, maintaining, and
providing this information.
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 has 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.
