Agency Information Collection

U.S. Energy Information
Administration (EIA), U.S. Department
of Energy (DOE).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:

EIA submitted an information
collection request for extension as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995. The information collection
requests a three-year extension, with
only changes to the number of
respondents, of Form NWPA–830G,
‘‘Standard Contract for Disposal of
Spent Nuclear Fuel and/or High-Level
Radioactive Waste,’’ Appendix G, under
OMB Control Number 1901–0260. Form
NWPA–830G, ‘‘Appendix G-Standard
Remittance Advice for Payment of Fees
(including Annex A to Appendix G),
which is part of the Standard Contract
collects information concerning a
company’s quarterly payments into the
Nuclear Waste Fund of ongoing fees for
spent nuclear fuel disposal. Form
NWPA–830G, is a mandatory form that
serves as the source document for
entries into DOE accounting records to
transmit data from purchasers to DOE
concerning payment of the Spent
Nuclear Fuel Disposal Fee into the
Nuclear Waste Fund. Although the
Department of Energy determined that,
effective May 16, 2014, the Spent
Nuclear Fuel Disposal Fee is 0.0 mills
per kWh, the U.S. Department of
Energy’s Office of the General Counsel,
given the continuing nature of the
Department’s statutory responsibilities
regarding spent nuclear fuel, directed
EIA to continue activities associated

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

This information collection request
contains:
(1) OMB No.: 1901–0260;
(2) Information Collection Request
Title: Form NWPA–830G, Standard
Contract for Disposal of Spent Nuclear
Fuel and/or High-Level Radioactive
Waste, Appendix G;
(3) Type of Request: Three-year
extension with changes;
(4) Purpose: The Form NWPA–830G
survey included in the Standard
Contract for Disposal of Spent Nuclear
Fuel and/or High-Level Radioactive
Waste, Appendix G, collect information
on and is the source document for
entries into DOE accounting records to
transmit data from purchasers to DOE
concerning payment of the Spent
Nuclear Fuel Disposal Fee into the
Nuclear Waste Fund. Appendix G
collects payment data based on a
utility’s net electricity generated and
sold. 15 U.S.C. 772(b) provides that EIA
may require all persons owning or
operating facilities or business premises
who are engaged in any phase of energy
supply or major energy consumption to
make available to the Administrator
such information and periodic reports,
records, documents, and other data,
relating to the purposes of this Act,
including full identification of all data

and projections as to source, time and
methodology of development.
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.
(4a) Changes to Information Collection:
The reduction of 80 annual burden hours for
Form NWPA–830G results from the
reduction of the number of total respondents
representing reactors that decreased from 99
to 95. Six reactors permanently shut down
since the last clearance cycle and no longer
are required to pay fees into the Nuclear
Waste Fund nor respond to this survey.
Additional respondents representing two
new reactors in Georgia, VOGTLE 3 and
VOGTLE 4, which are planned to be
operational by end of 2021 and by end of
2022 respectively;

(5) Annual Estimated Number of
Respondents: 95;
(6) Annual Estimated Number of
Total Responses: 380;
(7) Annual Estimated Number of
Burden Hours: 1,900;
(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Cost Burden: The cost of
burden hours to the respondents is
estimated to be $155,135 (1,900 burden
hours times $81.65 per hour.) EIA
estimates that there are no additional
costs to respondents associated with the
survey other than the costs associated
with the burden hours.
Statutory Authority: 42 U.S.C. 10222
and 15 U.S.C. 772(b).
Signed in Washington, DC, on September
16, 2021.
