SUMMARY: The EIA has submitted an information collection request to the 
OMB for extension under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995. The information collection requests a three-year extension of 
the Form NWPA-830G, ``Appendix G--Standard Remittance Advice for 
Payment of Fees,'' including Annex A to Appendix G, OMB Control Number 
1901-0260. Form NWPA-830G is an Appendix to the Standard Contract for 
Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel and/or High-Level Radioactive Waste, 
entered into by DOE and the generators or owners of spent nuclear fuel. 
The proposed collection will continue to collect data on quarterly fee 
payments paid into the Nuclear Waste Fund and on the amount of net 
electricity generated and sold, upon which the fees are based. There 
are no proposed changes to the survey forms.

received on or before December 28, 2012. If you anticipate that you 
will be submitting comments, but find it difficult to do so within the
