Title of Collection: State Tribal 

Education Partnership (STEP). 

OMB Control Number: 1810–NEW. 

Type of Review: A new information 

collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local and Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 80. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 4,000. 

Abstract: The purposes of the State 

Tribal Education Partnership (STEP) 

program are to: (1) Promote increased 

collaboration between Tribal 

educational agencies (TEAs) and the 

State educational agencies (SEAs) and 

local educational agencies (LEAs) that 

serve students from affected tribes; and 

(2) build the capacity of TEAs to 

conduct certain administrative 

functions under certain Elementary and 

Secondary Education Act of 1965 

(ESEA) formula grant programs for 

eligible schools, as determined by the 

TEA, SEA, and LEA. This award is 

made under the Indian Education 

National Activities authority, as 

authorized under ESEA title VII, Part A 

(Title VII). During the pilot of this grant 

competition, the Department of 

Education (Department) relied 

exclusively on selection criteria from 

the Education Department General 

Administrative Regulations and 

therefore used the generic application 

package approved under 1894–0006. For 

the FY 2015 grant competition, the 

Department proposes to use programspecific selection criteria, seeking 

approval for a new discretionary STEP 

grant application.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

information collection request contains: 

(1) OMB No. 1905–0160; (2) Information 

Collection Request Title: Uranium Data 

Program; (3) Type of Request: Threeyear extension; (4) Purpose: Uranium 

Data Program is intended to collect 

high-quality statistical data on domestic 

uranium supply and demand activities, 

including production, exploration and 

development, trade, and purchases and 

sales available to the U.S. The audience 

for these data includes the Congress, 

other Executive Branch agencies, the 

nuclear and uranium industry, and the 

public in general. Form EIA–851A 

collects annual data from the U.S. 

uranium industry on uranium milling 

and processing, uranium feed sources, 

uranium mining, employment, drilling, 

expenditures, and uranium reserves. 

The data collected appear in the 

following EIA publication: Domestic 

Uranium Production Report—Annual, 

http://www.eia.gov/uranium/

production/annual/. Form EIA–851Q 

collects monthly data from the U.S. 

uranium industry on uranium 

production and sources (mines and 

other) on a quarterly basis. The data 

collected appear in the following EIA 

publication: Domestic Uranium 

Production Report—Quarterly, http://

www.eia.gov/uranium/production/

quarterly/. Form EIA–858 collects 

annual data from the U.S. uranium 

market on uranium contracts, deliveries, 

inventories, enrichment services 

purchased, uranium use in fuel 

assemblies, feed deliveries to enrichers, 

and unfilled market requirements. 

Uranium deliveries, feed deliveries to 

enrichers, and unfilled market 

requirements are reported both for the 

current reporting year and for the 

following ten years. The data collected 

appear in the following EIA 

publications: Uranium Marketing 

Annual Report, http://www.eia.gov/

uranium/marketing/ and Domestic 

Uranium Production Report—Annual, 

http://www.eia.gov/uranium/

Respondents: 101; (6) Annual Estimated 

Number of Total Responses: 169; (7) 

Annual Estimated Number of Burden 

Hours: 1,227; (8) Annual Estimated 

Reporting and Recordkeeping Cost 

Burden: EIA estimates that there are no 

additional costs to respondents 

associated with the surveys other than 

the costs associated with the burden 

hours. The information is maintained in 

the normal course of business. The cost 

of burden hours to the respondents is 

estimated to be $88,307 (1,227 burden 

hours times $71.97 per hour). Therefore, 

other than the cost of burden hours, EIA 

estimates that there are no additional 

costs for generating, maintaining and 

providing the information.
