DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Energy Information Administration 

Agency Information Collection 

Extension 

AGENCY: U.S. Energy Information 

Administration (EIA), U.S. Department 

of Energy (DOE). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: EIA submitted an information 

collection request for extension as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995. The information collection 

requests a three-year extension, with 

only changes to the number of 

respondents, of Form NWPA–830G, 

‘‘Standard Contract for Disposal of 

Spent Nuclear Fuel and/or High-Level 

Radioactive Waste,’’ Appendix G, under 

OMB Control Number 1901–0260. Form 

NWPA–830G, ‘‘Appendix G-Standard 

Remittance Advice for Payment of Fees 

(including Annex A to Appendix G), 

which is part of the Standard Contract 

collects information concerning a 

company’s quarterly payments into the 

Nuclear Waste Fund of ongoing fees for 

spent nuclear fuel disposal. Form 

NWPA–830G, is a mandatory form that 

serves as the source document for 

entries into DOE accounting records to 

transmit data from purchasers to DOE 

concerning payment of the Spent 

Nuclear Fuel Disposal Fee into the 

Nuclear Waste Fund. Although the 

Department of Energy determined that, 

effective May 16, 2014, the Spent 

Nuclear Fuel Disposal Fee is 0.0 mills 

per kWh, the U.S. Department of 

Energy’s Office of the General Counsel, 

given the continuing nature of the 

Department’s statutory responsibilities 

regarding spent nuclear fuel, directed 

EIA to continue activities associated 

with the collection of net electricity 

generation data. 

DATES: Comments on this information 

collection must be received no later 

than October 21, 2021. Written 

comments and recommendations for the 

proposed information collection should 

be sent within 30 days of publication of 

this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/ 

do/PRAMain. Find this particular 

information collection by selecting 

‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open 

for Public Comments’’ or by using the 

search function.

Information Administration, telephone

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

This information collection request 

contains: 

(1) OMB No.: 1901–0260; 

(2) Information Collection Request 

Title: Form NWPA–830G, Standard 

Contract for Disposal of Spent Nuclear 

Fuel and/or High-Level Radioactive 

Waste, Appendix G; 

(3) Type of Request: Three-year 

extension with changes; 

(4) Purpose: The Form NWPA–830G 

survey included in the Standard 

Contract for Disposal of Spent Nuclear 

Fuel and/or High-Level Radioactive 

Waste, Appendix G, collect information 

on and is the source document for 

entries into DOE accounting records to 

transmit data from purchasers to DOE 

concerning payment of the Spent 

Nuclear Fuel Disposal Fee into the 

Nuclear Waste Fund. Appendix G 

collects payment data based on a 

utility’s net electricity generated and 

sold. 15 U.S.C. 772(b) provides that EIA 

may require all persons owning or 

operating facilities or business premises 

who are engaged in any phase of energy 

supply or major energy consumption to 

make available to the Administrator 

such information and periodic reports, 

records, documents, and other data, 

relating to the purposes of this Act, 

including full identification of all data 

and projections as to source, time and 

methodology of development. 

The Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 

(42 U.S.C. 10101 et seq.) required that 

DOE enter into Standard Contracts with 

all generators or owners of spent nuclear 

fuel and high-level radioactive waste of 

domestic origin. Form NWPA–830G 

Appendix G-Standard Remittance 

Advice for Payment of Fees, including 

Annex A to Appendix G, is an 

Appendix to this Standard Contract. 

Appendix G and Annex A to Appendix 

G are commonly referred to as 

Remittance Advice (RA) forms. RA 

forms must be submitted quarterly by 

generators and owners of spent nuclear 

fuel and high-level radioactive waste of 

domestic origin who signed the 

Standard Contract. Appendix G is 

designed to serve as the source 

document for entries into DOE 

accounting records to transmit data to 

DOE concerning payment of fees into 

the Nuclear Waste Fund for spent 

nuclear fuel and high-level waste 

disposal. Annex A to Appendix G is 

used to provide data on the amount of 

net electricity generated and sold, upon 

which these fees are based. 

(4a) Changes to Information Collection: 

The reduction of 80 annual burden hours for 

Form NWPA–830G results from the 

reduction of the number of total respondents 

representing reactors that decreased from 99 

to 95. Six reactors permanently shut down 

since the last clearance cycle and no longer 

are required to pay fees into the Nuclear 

Waste Fund nor respond to this survey. 

Additional respondents representing two 

new reactors in Georgia, VOGTLE 3 and 

VOGTLE 4, which are planned to be 

operational by end of 2021 and by end of 

2022 respectively; 

(5) Annual Estimated Number of 

Respondents: 95; 

(6) Annual Estimated Number of 

Total Responses: 380; 

(7) Annual Estimated Number of 

Burden Hours: 1,900; 

(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Cost Burden: The cost of 

burden hours to the respondents is 

estimated to be $155,135 (1,900 burden 

hours times $81.65 per hour.) EIA 

estimates that there are no additional 

costs to respondents associated with the 

survey other than the costs associated 

with the burden hours. 

Statutory Authority: 42 U.S.C. 10222 

and 15 U.S.C. 772(b). 

Signed in Washington, DC, on September 

16, 2021.

Director, Office of Statistical Methods and 

Research, U.S. Energy Information 

Administration.
