SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section

3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of

1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) requires

that the Office of Management and

Budget (OMB) provide interested

Federal agencies and the public an early

opportunity to comment on information

collection requests. OMB may amend or

waive the requirement for public

consultation to the extent that public

participation in the approval process

would defeat the purpose of the

information collection, violate State or

Federal law, or substantially interfere

with any agency’s ability to perform its

statutory obligations. The Director,

Information Resources Management

Group publishes this notice containing

proposed information collection

requests prior to submission of these

requests to OMB. Each proposed

information collection, grouped by

office, contains the following: (1) Type

of review requested, e.g., new, revision,

extension, existing or reinstatement; (2)

Title; (3) Summary of the collection; (4)

Description of the need for, and

proposed use of, the information; (5)

Respondents and frequency of

collection; and (6) Reporting and/or

Recordkeeping burden. OMB invites

public comment at the address specified

above. Copies of the requests are

available from Patrick J. Sherrill at the

address specified above.

The Department of Education is

especially interested in public comment

addressing the following issues: (1) Is

this collection necessary to the proper

functions of the Department, (2) will

this information be processed and used

in a timely manner, (3) is the estimate

of burden accurate, (4) how might the

Department enhance the quality, utility,

and clarity of the information to be

collected, and (5) how might the

Department minimize the burden of this

collection on the respondents, including

through the use of information

technology.

Abstract: The Progress Measures

Survey focuses on four elements of Title

IV, Section 402 of the School-to-Work

Opportunities Act: student participation

in school-to-work; institutional and

employer participation; leveraging of

funds; and outcomes. The participation

measures are designed to track

elaboration of local partnership Schoolto-Work (STW) systems; the leveraging

measures are intended to capture efforts

to develop sources of funding that will

enable STW to be self-sustaining after

sunset of the legislation; and the

outcomes measures are indicators of

achievement of the Act’s primary goals.

These data, collected on a regular basis,

will provide important evidence of state

and local partnership commitments to

the legislative mandate.

Comment Request

SUMMARY: The Energy Information

Administration (EIA) is soliciting

comments concerning the proposed

changes and extensions to Forms EIA–

the collection of 1997 data. The Form

EIA–254, ‘‘Annual Report on Status of

Reactor Construction,’’ will be

discontinued.

DATES: Written comments must be

submitted within 60 days of the

publication of this notice. If you

Washington, DC 20585, (phone number

(202) 426–1178; e-mail address

CJOHNSON@EIA.DOE.GOV, and FAX

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Requests for additional information or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

II. Current Actions

III. Request for Comments

I. Background

In order to fulfill its responsibilities

under the Federal Energy

Administration Act of 1974 (Pub. L. No.

93–275) and the Department of Energy

Organization Act (Pub. L. 95–91), the

Energy Information Administration is

obliged to carry out a central,

comprehensive, and unified energy data

and information program. As part of this

program, EIA collects, evaluates,

assembles, analyzes, and disseminates

data and information related to energy

resource reserves, production, demand,

and technology, and related economic

and statistical information relevant to

the adequacy of energy resources to

meet demands in the near and longer

term future for the Nation’s economic

and social needs.

The Energy Information

Administration, as part of its continuing

effort to reduce paperwork and

respondent burden (required by the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub.

L. 104–13)), conducts a presurvey

consultation program to provide the

general public and other Federal

agencies with an opportunity to

comment on proposed and/or

continuing reporting forms. This

program helps to ensure that requested

data can be provided in the desired

format, reporting burden is minimized,

reporting forms are clearly understood,

and the impact of collection

requirements on respondents can be

properly assessed. Also, EIA will later

seek approval by the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) for the

collections under Section 3507(h) of the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub.

L. 104–13, Title 44, U.S.C. Chapter 35).

The Form EIA–254 (discontinued

with this notice) collects data on

nuclear power plants planned or under

construction, including plant

ownership, design capacity, status, cost,

and construction schedules and

milestone dates.

The Form EIA–851 collects data on

uranium production at conventional

mills and nonconventional plants

(byproduct recovery and in-situ leach

plants).

The Form EIA–858 collects data on

uranium raw materials activities

(Schedule A) and uranium marketing

(Schedule B).

Data collected on these forms provide

a comprehensive statistical

characterization of the domestic nuclear

industry in these areas: uranium

reserves, potential future requirements

for uranium production and enrichment

facilities, uranium concentrate

production, status of industry’s annual

activities, and information about

industry plans and commitments.

Published data from these surveys are

used by Congress, Federal and State

agencies, the uranium and electricutility industries, and the general

public. Published data appear in the EIA

publications, ‘‘Nuclear Power

Generation and Fuel Cycle Report,’’

‘‘Uranium Industry Annual,’’ and the

‘‘Annual Energy Review.’

II. Current Actions

The EIA–254 will be discontinued for

1997.

There are no changes to the data

elements collected on the Form EIA–

851; however, a 3-year extension of the

approved OMB expiration date (12/31/

97) is requested.

The only change to the Form EIA–858

(Schedule A and Schedule B) is the

elimination of the certification block on

the cover sheet. A request to extend the

approval expiration date (12/31/97) for

3 years will also be submitted to OMB.

III. Request for Comments

Prospective respondents and other

interested parties should comment on

the actions discussed in item II. The

following guidelines are provided to

assist in the preparation of responses.

Please indicate to which form(s) your

comments apply.

General Issues

A. Is the proposed collection of

information necessary, taking into

account its accuracy, adequacy, and

reliability, and the agency’s ability to

process the information it collects in a

useful and timely fashion.

B. What enhancements can EIA make

to the quality, utility, and clarity of the

information to be collected?

As a Potential Respondent

A. Are the instructions and

definitions clear and sufficient? If not,

which instructions require clarification?

B. Can data be submitted in

accordance with the due date specified

in the instructions?

C. Public reporting burden for these

collections are estimated to average:

Form EIA–851, 3 hours; and Form EIA–

858, 25 hours. Burden includes the total

time, effort, or financial resources

expended to generate, maintain, retain,

or disclose or provide the information

including: (1) Reviewing instructions;

(2) developing, acquiring, installing, and

utilizing technology and systems for the

purposes of collecting, validating,

verifying, processing, maintaining,

disclosing and providing information;

(3) adjusting the existing ways to

comply with any previously applicable

instructions and requirements; (4)

training personnel to respond to a

collection of information; (5) searching

data sources; (6) completing and

reviewing the collection of information;

and (7) transmitting, or otherwise

disclosing the information.

Please comment on (1) the accuracy of

our estimate and (2) how the agency

could minimize the burden of the

collection of information, including the

use of automated collection techniques
