PURPOSE
The Form EIA-858 Uranium Marketing Annual Survey is used to collect data about the U.S. uranium market on uranium
contracts, deliveries (during the report year and for the next ten years), inventories, enrichment services purchased, use in fuel
assemblies, feed deliveries to enrichers (during the report year and for the next ten years), and unfilled market requirements
for the next ten years. The data are used by Congress and the public. The data collected on this form may appear in the
following U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) publications: Uranium Marketing Annual Report and Domestic Uranium
Production Report - Annual.
Firms and individuals that are involved in the (domestic) U.S. uranium industry must complete the Form EIA-858. It is
completed by owners and operators of U.S. civilian nuclear power reactors, uranium brokers and traders, uranium converters,
uranium enrichers, uranium fabricators, uranium producers and the U.S. Government.

RESPONSE DUE DATE
The Form EIA-858 should be submitted to EIA by xx/xx/xxxx.

HOW TO USE EIA’S SECURE FILE TRANSFER
EIA is ensuring the security of your transactions by using the latest Internet security technology. The technology being used to

SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS
ITEM 1. CONTRACT covers all Purchase, Sale, Exchanges, Loans, Loan Repayments, and/or Other transactions (transfer of title)
active during the Survey Year. Exchanges include physical material, country of origin, and ownership changes of uranium. Report
each contract that was active or that was completed (performed) by your firm during the Survey Year. If, during the Survey Year,
your firm held or entered into other contracts, a separate Item 1 must be completed to report each such new contract,
including those completed during the year. EIA must be able to account for all transfers of title to uranium materials during the
Survey Year. Any transaction that involved a transfer of title, i.e., the Purchase, Sale, Exchange, Loan, Loan Repayment, and/or
Other should be reported. A separate Item 1 must be completed to report all information requested under Items 1.A. through
1.F. for a transfer-of-title contract during the Survey Year. Under certain conditions, a Sale or Purchase of separative work units
(SWU) in the secondary market constitutes a transfer of title to uranium. A contract that involves, in fact, a transfer of title to
enriched uranium for a title to natural uranium, or vice-versa, should be reported as an Exchange.
Item 1.A. Other Party Name: The other party or parties named in the contract.
