11992 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 38 / Monday, March 1, 2021 / Notices 

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 

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. 

The burden hour estimate on Form 

EIA–858 is increasing from 15 hours to 

26 hours. This increase is due to 

respondent requests and confirmed 

through industry studies. 

(5) Annual Estimated Number of 

Respondents: 102; 

(6) Annual Estimated Number of 

Total Responses: 135; 

(7) Annual Estimated Number of 

Burden Hours: 1,769; 

(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Cost Burden: EIA 

estimates that there are no capital or 

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 $144,438.85 (1,769 

burden hours times $81.65 per hour). 

Other than the cost of burden hours, EIA 

estimates that there are no additional 

costs for generating, maintaining, and 

providing this information.
