SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

II. Current Actions 

III. Request for Comments 

I. Background 

The Federal Energy Administration 

Act of 1974 (15 U.S.C. 761 et seq.) and 

the DOE Organization Act (42 U.S.C. 

7101 et seq.) require the EIA to carry out 

a centralized, comprehensive, and 

unified energy information program. 

This program collects, evaluates, 

assembles, analyzes, and disseminates 

information on energy resource reserves, 

production, demand, technology, and 

related economic and statistical 

information. This information is used to 

assess the adequacy of energy resources 

to meet near and longer term domestic 

demands. 

The EIA, as part of its effort to comply 

with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.), provides 

the general public and other Federal 

agencies with opportunities to comment 

on collections of energy information 

conducted by or in conjunction with the 

EIA. Also, the EIA will later seek 

approval for this collection by the Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB) 

under Section 3507(a) of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995. 

Form NWPA–830R ‘Appendix G— 

Standard Remittance Advice for 

Payment of Fees’, and ‘Annex A and 

Annex B to Appendix G—Standard 

Remittance Advice for Payment of Fees’ 

are designed to serve as the source 

documents for entries into DOE 

accounting records to transmit data from 

Purchasers to the DOE concerning 

payment of their fees for spent nuclear 

fuel and high-level waste disposal into 

the Nuclear Waste Fund. The 

Remittance Advice (RA) must be 

submitted by Purchasers who signed the 

Standard Contract for Disposal of Spent 

Nuclear Fuel and/or High-Level 

Radioactive Waste with the DOE. 

Appendix G is an appendix to the 

Standard Contract. 

Please refer to the proposed forms and 

instructions for more information about 

the purpose, who must report, when to 

report, where to submit, the elements to 

be reported, detailed instructions, 

provisions for confidentiality, and uses 

(including possible nonstatistical uses) 

of the information. For instructions on 

obtaining materials, see the ‘‘For Further 

Information Contact’’ section. 

II. Current Actions 

The EIA will be requesting a threeyear extension of approval to its existing 

Form NWPA–830R ‘Appendix G— 

Standard Remittance Advice for 

Payment of Fees’ with no change to the 

existing collection. The NWPA–830R, 

‘Appendix G—Standard Remittance 

Advice for Payment of Fees’ is required 

to transmit data from Purchasers to the 

DOE concerning payment of their fees 

into the Nuclear Waste Fund, as 

required by the Standard Contract for 

Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel and/or 

High-Level Radioactive Waste.

Advice for Payment of Fees’ the average

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the request for OMB 

approval of the form. They also will 

become a matter of public record.
