**Agency Information Collection Extension** 

**AGENCY :**  U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), Department of Energy.

**ACTION :**  Notice and Request for Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Review and Comment.

**SUMMARY :**  The EIA has submitted an information collection request to the OMB under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for a proposed reinstatement and three-year approval to the Form GC–859, ‘‘Nuclear Fuel Data Survey’’ (formerly Form RW– 859) OMB Control Number 1901–0287. Form RW–859 was previously used to collect data for reference year 2002 and was discontinued in 2009. The form designation has been changed to reflect the transfer of functions from the DOE Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management (RW) to the DOE Office of the General Counsel (GC). The form is being reinstated to collect data as of June 30, 2013.

In addition to reinstating the Nuclear Fuel Data Survey form as Form GC–859 survey, EIA is also proposing to modify the structure and content of the form from Form RW–859. Most of the data reported on Form GC–859 was previously collected by its predecessor form and will be provided to respondents so that they may update their historical data. Some data requirements from previous surveys have been eliminated and replaced by new data required by various stakeholders and data users.

**DATES :**  Comments regarding this proposed information collection must be received on or before April 5, 2013. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice, please advise the DOE Desk Officer at OMB of your intention to make a submission as soon as possible. The Desk Officer may be telephoned at 202–395–4650.

**ADDRESSES :**  Written comments should be sent to the DOE Desk Officer, Office of Information

and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, New Executive Office Building, Room 10102, 735 17th Street NW., Washington, DC 20503.

For the Forms EIA–411, 826, 860, 860M, 861, 861S, 923, and 930, EIA proposes to protect all contact information associated with the ‘‘Survey Contact’’ and the ‘‘Supervisor of Contact Person for Survey’’ on Schedule 1, including name, email address, telephone, and Fax number 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 1004.11, implementing the FOIA, and the Trade Secrets Act, 18 U.S.C. 1905.
