DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Energy Information Administration 

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.,

1This form has been under OMB No. 1905–0196. 

Due to a reorganization of EIA offices, the 

renewables data collection program is now housed 

with the electricity data collection program. 

Therefore, EIA proposes to change the OMB number 

to 1905–0129.

Survey collects data from 138 

respondents (primarily commercial 

utilities that operate nuclear reactors). 

Data are collected on all discharged 

nuclear assemblies, projections of future 

assembly discharges, nuclear fuel 

storage capacities and inventories at 

reactor sites and storage facilities, 

complete reactor operating history, data 

on special fuel forms including 

nonstandard and failed fuel, nonfuel 

components, and Greater Than Class C

estimates that there are no additional 

costs to respondents associated with the 

surveys other than the costs associated 

with the burden hours.

Federal Energy Administration Act of 1974, 

Pub. L. 93–275, codified at 15 U.S.C. 772(b);
