Uranium Data Program



OMB No. 1905-0160



Background and Proposal

Part A





Original Date: July 9, 2014

Updated 7/6/2015



INTRODUCTION

The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is required to publish, and otherwise make available independent, high-quality statistical data to federal government agencies, state and local governments, the nuclear and uranium industry, academic researchers, and the general public.

To meet this obligation, EIA’s Office of Electricity, Renewables, and Uranium Statistics (ERUS) maintains the Uranium Data Program (UDP) to collect data on uranium. The UDP is comprised of a quarterly survey and two annual surveys. The following surveys make up the UDP:

  • Form EIA-851A, “Domestic Uranium Production Report (Annual)”

  • Form EIA-851Q, “Domestic Uranium Production Report (Quarterly)”

  • Form EIA-858, “Uranium Marketing Annual Survey”

EIA proposes extension of the UPD surveys for three years.

EIA requests a three-year clearance to continue the use of Form EIA-851A “Domestic Uranium Production Report (Annual),” Form EIA-851Q “Domestic Uranium Production Report (Quarterly),” and the Form EIA-858 “Uranium Marketing Annual Survey.” These forms were previously cleared under OMB number 1905-0160 through 12/31/2015.

EIA is proposing no changes to Form EIA-851A, Form EIA-851Q, Form EIA-858 and its reporting instructions. EIA is proposing a minor change to the reporting instructions of Form EIA-851A and Form EIA-851Q. This proposal was published on February 11, 2015 in the Federal Register Vol. 80, No. 28. There were no public comments to the proposal.

For Form EIA-851A and Form EIA-851Q, EIA proposes a minor change (highlighted below) to include the rated capacity reporting of heap leach facilities in the instructions for Item 1, Facility Information.

Form EIA-851A, Item 1 instructions: Provide information about the uranium concentrate processing facility. Rated capacity is synonymous with nominal capacity and nameplate capacity. Indicate operating status at end of the Survey Year. Report rated capacity in short tons of ore per day for conventional mills and heap leach facilities. For in-situ leach and uranium by-product facilities, report rated capacity in pounds U3O8 per year.

Form EIA-851Q, Item 1 instructions: Provide information about the uranium concentrate mill/processing facility. Rated capacity is synonymous with nominal capacity and nameplate capacity. Indicate operating status at end of the Survey Quarter. Report rated capacity in short tons of ore per day for conventional mills and heap leach facilities. For in-situ leach and uranium by-product facilities, report rated capacity in pounds U3O8 per year.

Background of the Uranium Data Program

The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) is the statistical and analytical agency within the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). It collects, analyzes, and disseminates independent and impartial energy information to promote sound policymaking, efficient markets, and public understanding regarding energy and its interaction with the economy and the environment.

The uranium surveys discussed herein constitute EIA’s Uranium Data Program (UDP) and are part of EIA’s comprehensive energy data program. The surveys are 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 industry, and the public in general. The specific surveys are:

  • Form EIA-851A “Domestic Uranium Production Report (Annual)” 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.

  • Form EIA-851Q “Domestic Uranium Production Report (Quarterly)” collects monthly data from the U.S. uranium industry on uranium production and sources (mines and other) on a quarterly basis.

  • Form EIA-858 “Uranium Marketing Annual Survey” collects annual data from the U.S. uranium market on uranium contracts and deliveries, inventories, enrichment services purchased, uranium 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 information collection proposed in this supporting statement has been reviewed in light of applicable EIA information quality guidelines. It has been determined that the information would be collected, maintained, and used in a manner consistent with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), DOE, and EIA information quality guidelines. Data from UDP surveys appear in EIA reports, including the following:

JUSTIFICATION

  1. Legal Authority

The authority for these data collections is provided by the following provisions:

15 U.S.C. §772(b), Section 13(b) of the Federal Energy Administration Act of 1974 (FEA Act), Public Law 93-275, outlines the types of individuals subject to the information collection authority delegated to the [Secretary] and the general parameters of the type of data which can be required. Section 772(b) states:

“All persons owning or operating facilities or business premises who are engaged in any phase of energy supply or major energy consumption shall make available to the [Secretary] 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, as the [Secretary] may prescribe by regulation or order as necessary or appropriate for the exercise of functions under the Act.”

The functions of the FEA Act are set forth in 15 U.S.C. §764(b), of the FEA Act, which states that the Administrator shall, to the extent he is authorized by Section 764(a) of the FEA Act,

“(2) assess the adequacy of energy resources to meet demands in the immediate and longer range future for all sectors of the economy and for the general public; ...

(4) ...develop plans and programs for dealing with energy production shortages;

(5) promote stability in energy prices to the consumer, promote free and open competition in all aspects of the energy field, prevent unreasonable profits within the various segments of the energy industry, and promote free enterprise;

(6) assure that energy programs are designed and implemented in a fair and efficient manner so as to minimize hardship and inequity while assuring that the priority needs of the Nation are met;...

(9) ...collect, evaluate, assemble, and analyze energy information on reserves, production, demand, and related economic data.”

As the authority for invoking Section 764(b), above, 15 U.S.C. §764(a), of the FEA Act, in turn, states:

“Subject to the provisions and procedures set forth in this Act, the [Secretary] shall be responsible for such actions as are taken to assure that adequate provision is made to meet the energy needs of the Nation. To that end, he shall make such plans and direct and conduct such programs related to the production, conservation, use, control, distribution, rationing, and allocation of all forms of energy as are appropriate in connection with only those authorities or functions:

(1) specifically transferred to or vested in him by or pursuant to this Act: ...

(3) ...otherwise specifically vested in the Administrator by the Congress.”

Additional authority for this information collection is provided by 15 U.S.C. §790a of the FEA Act, which states that the Administrator:

“... [Shall] establish a National Energy Information System ... [which] shall contain such information as is required to provide a description of and facilitate analysis of energy supply and consumption within and affecting the United States on the basis of such geographic areas and economic sectors as may be appropriate ...

(b) ...At a minimum, the System shall contain such energy information as is necessary to carry out the Administration's statistical and forecasting activities, and shall include, such energy information as is required to define and permit analysis of:

(1) the institutional structure of the energy supply system including patterns of ownership and control of mineral fuel and nonmineral energy resources and the production, distribution, and marketing of mineral fuels and electricity;

(2) the consumption of mineral fuels, nonmineral energy resources, and electricity by such classes, sectors, and regions as may be appropriate for the purposes of this Act;...

(5) ...industrial, labor, and regional impacts of changes and patterns of energy supply and consumption.”

Additional authority for collection of uranium information on Form EIA-858 "Uranium Marketing Annual Survey," is provided through the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPACT 1992), Public Law 102-486. This law states under Subtitle B, 42 U.S.C. § 2296b-4, SEC. 1015, ANNUAL URANIUM PURCHASE REPORTS,

“(a) IN GENERAL- By January 1 of each year, the owner or operator of any civilian nuclear power reactor shall report to the Secretary (of Energy), acting through the Administrator of the Energy Information Administration, for activities of the previous fiscal year--

(1) the country of origin and the seller of any uranium or enriched uranium purchased or imported into the United States either directly or indirectly by such owner or operator; and

(2) the country of origin and the seller of any enrichment services purchased by such owner or operator.

(b) CONGRESSIONAL ACCESS- The information provided to the Secretary pursuant to this section shall be made available to the Congress by March 1 of each year.”

  1. Needs and Uses of Data

The EIA Uranium Data Program (UDP) 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. The specific surveys are:

  • Form EIA-851A “Domestic Uranium Production Report (Annual)”

  • Form EIA-851Q “Domestic Uranium Production Report (Quarterly)”

  • Form EIA-858 “Uranium Marketing Annual Survey”

The data collected on these surveys are unique. Although limited amounts of related or somewhat similar data may be available from other Federal agencies, industry, and private sources, those data collections are not reasonable alternatives for the data sets obtained through the UDP surveys.

The data collected on the Form EIA-851A are needed for and used to publish annually:

  • Exploration and development drilling activities in the U.S. uranium production industry including data on number of holes and drilling footage;

  • U.S. uranium mine production and number of operating mines;

  • Activities at U.S. uranium mills, heap leach, and in-situ leach plants including uranium concentrate production and shipments;

  • Owner, location, capacity, and operating status of existing and planned uranium concentrate facilities;

  • Employment in the U.S. uranium production industry by exploration, mining, milling, processing, and reclamation categories and by State;

  • Expenditures for land, exploration, drilling, production, and reclamation in the U.S. uranium production industry;

  • U.S. uranium reserve estimates by mining method, State, and status.

  • U.S. questionnaire input to the Uranium Resources, Production and Demand “Red Book” (OECD/Nuclear Energy Agency and International Atomic Energy Agency);

  • U.S. questionnaire input to the Nuclear Energy Data “Brown Book” (OECD/Nuclear Energy Agency);

  • U.S. input for the U.S. Country Nuclear Power Profile (International Atomic Energy Agency);

  • The data provided pursuant to the Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act of 2002 (CIPSEA) Information Access Agreement signed in March 2012 between EIA and U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), to support USGS studies of domestic uranium resources including undiscovered resource assessments. Form EIA-851A data will be used by the USGS to calculate grade/tonnage curves of undiscovered uranium resources. This agreement provides for the disclosure by EIA of individually-identifiable survey information submitted to EIA as confidential and for exclusively statistical purposes in accordance with the Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act of 2002 (CIPSEA) to the USGS. These data will be used for statistical purposes only by the USGS.

The data collected on the Form EIA-851Q are needed for and used to publish quarterly:

  • U.S. production of uranium concentrate from ore and/or solutions from different methods of mining, including in-situ leaching, open pit, underground, heap leach, and other sources;

  • Number of U.S. uranium facilities producing uranium concentrate;

  • Owner, location, capacity, and operating status of existing and planned uranium concentrate processing facilities.

The data collected on the Form EIA-858 are needed for and used to publish annually:

  • Data on the origin countries and sellers of any uranium and enrichment services purchased or imported into the United States by owners or operators of any U.S. civilian nuclear power reactors;

  • Data on uranium marketing activities in the United States, including quantities, prices and origins of uranium transactions and enrichment services, contract and material types, domestic and foreign purchases and sales, origin and destinations of enrichment feed deliveries, quantity of uranium loaded into U.S. civilian nuclear power reactors, and uranium inventories;

  • Data on U.S. uranium market requirements, including future contracted deliveries (filled requirements), unfilled market requirements, and projected enrichment feed deliveries;

  • U.S. questionnaire input to the Uranium Resources, Production and Demand “Red Book” (OECD/Nuclear Energy Agency and International Atomic Energy Agency);

  • U.S. questionnaire input to the Nuclear Energy Data “Brown Book” (OECD/Nuclear Energy Agency);

  • U.S. input for the U.S. Country Nuclear Power Profile (International Atomic Energy Agency).

  1. Use of Information Technology

EIA is utilizing information technology to improve reporting options for respondents to all uranium surveys. EIA provides an electronic e-filing system that respondents may use to complete and submit the surveys via a secure Internet browser-based system. The e-filing system for the Form EIA-858 survey has been in operation since 2006 and the e-filing system for the Form EIA-851A and Form EIA-851Q surveys has been in operation since 2008. The e-filing system allows respondents to enter their data directly into the EIA survey database. The system also allows respondents to make necessary corrections or to explain unusual events impacting the reported data prior to submission by identifying data that fails edits prior to submission. This reduces respondent burden by reducing the number of times a respondent must resubmit forms prior to acceptance by EIA. The only equipment and software the respondent is required to have is a connection to the Internet and a standard web browser. EIA will continue to make all survey forms and instructions available for printing or downloading from the EIA website.

Use of pick-lists (including dynamic lists):

Pick-lists are a means of limiting a respondent’s answers to a question to a finite set of acceptable choices. The objectives are to reduce respondent burden and to improve data quality, while reducing the time and effort needed by EIA to edit a response.

Pick-lists1 are used in software-enabled surveys to:

  • Avoid typographical errors, such as mistyping the abbreviation for a state or month;

  • Assure consistent responses to questions asking standard information, such as entering a state as text or a number;

  • Assure consistent responses to questions asking for technical information when the same concept has multiple monikers (e.g., “short term” and “spot” fuel supply contracts).

When the pick-list requests a choice of technical information, the list typically includes an “Other” choice. In some cases the “Other” choice is accompanied by a request for the respondent to provide additional information in a comment area in the survey. The “Other” choice acts as a mechanism to ensure that the form is capable of collecting all possible categories when a pick-list is variable.

There are three types of pick-lists that may be used in software-enabled EIA surveys:

  • Static pick-lists include information that does not change, such as a list of months.

  • Variable pick-lists include choices that may be changed by EIA depending on the period of time covered by the survey or another circumstance.

    • Time Dependent: In the case of the EIA-858 Item 6, data are collected for the following ten years. Therefore, for the 2015 data collection the pick-list of years would be limited to 2016 through 2025.

    • Circumstance Dependent: For instance, the EIA-851A and EIA-851Q include a pick-list of uranium facility types (such as in Item 1). Therefore the pick-list of types included in a survey for 2014 might be shorter than the list for 2015 (i.e., edited by EIA, as a routine maintenance function, in the software application).

  • Dynamic pick-lists include a list of choices that varies depending on the respondent’s answer to another question.

A dynamic pick-list is analogous to another standard technique in software-enabled surveys, the skip pattern, also used to avoid spurious responses and to reduce respondent burden. As currently configured the UDP e-filing systems do not include dynamic pick-lists, but this feature may be added to assist respondent data entry as part of routine software maintenance and upgrades.

  1. Technical Considerations to Reduce Burden

There are no additional capital and start-up cost components or operations and maintenance associated with the UDP data collection effort. The information is maintained in the normal course of business. Therefore, other than the cost of burden hours, there are no additional costs for generating, maintaining, and providing the information. EIA’s expectation is that the use of electronic data collection, including features such as pick-lists (see A.3., above) will help minimize the burden on respondents. In addition, by improving data quality these features will reduce the need for respondents to spend time resolving data errors with EIA.

  1. Efforts to Identify Duplication and Analysis of Similar Existing Information

Every effort has been made by EIA to ensure that data are not collected by more than one Federal government agency. EIA is the only principal statistical agency that collects and/or maintains uranium data in the Federal Government.

Non-statistical agencies that collect and/or maintain uranium data in the U.S. Federal Government include:

  • Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), U.S. Additional Protocol (AP)

  • Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration (ITA)

  • Department of Energy, Office of Environmental Management (EM)

  • Department of Energy, Office of Legacy Management (LM)

  • Department of Energy, Office of Nuclear Energy (NE)

  • Department of Energy, National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), Nuclear Materials Management & Safeguard System (NMMSS)

  • Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM)

  • Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

  • Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)

  • U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)

  • U.S. International Trade Commission (US ITC)

EIA evaluated the above sources of publicly available uranium data and found no other source as comprehensive, timely, or detailed as the data collected on Form EIA-851A, Form EIA-851Q, and Form EIA-858. EIA surveys capture the entire U.S. uranium industry and market, and keep the reporting burden to a minimum.

  1. Burden Reduction for Small Businesses and Small Entities

Minimizing the burden on small businesses responding to EIA surveys is of primary concern to EIA. To the extent possible EIA designs its data surveys so that small operations are not unduly affected. This is especially important to the UDP as small business constitutes a sizeable segment of the U.S. uranium industry. Companies engaged in the U.S. uranium industry range in size from small firms to large firms. The small firms participate in a limited or full range of industry activities from land acquisition through exploration, drilling, mining, milling, processing, conversion, and U.S. market broker/traders. The large firms own and operate U.S. nuclear power reactors, enrich uranium, and fabricate nuclear fuel assemblies. Given the relatively small number of firms in the U.S. uranium industry, it is important that each firm in the industry, regardless of its size, participate in EIA's UDP surveys in order for the resulting statistical information to accurately represent the entire U.S. industry and market. To accomplish this, the UDP survey forms only request data for items that are normally recorded in maintaining any business. Of the data elements requested, EIA anticipates that little time will be required of small companies in preparing their responses. The use of electronic data collection, including features such as pick-lists (see A.3., above) is also intended to reduce the response burden on small business.

  1. Consequences of Less Frequent Reporting

Less frequent reporting would not enable EIA to meet its mandate of providing timely, reliable information on the U.S. uranium industry and market to the Congress, other Federal, State and local governments, industry, and the general public. Form EIA-851A and Form EIA-858 surveys collect uranium data on an annual basis. Form EIA-851Q survey collects three months of U.S. uranium production data on a quarterly basis.

  1. Special Circumstances

There are not any special circumstances for the UDP data collection.

  1. Summary of Consultation Outside EIA

Consultations were conducted by EIA using a Federal Register Notice (FR Vol. 80, No. 28, p. 7583) published on February 11, 2015. Copies of the notice were e-mailed to potential respondents, industry contacts, industry trade press, and the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) for comment. This supporting statement will be made available on the EIA website, along with drafts of the proposed UDP forms and instructions. In addition, the notice and proposed versions of the forms were posted on the EIA website at:

http://www.eia.gov/survey/#eia-851a

http://www.eia.gov/survey/#eia-851q

http://www.eia.gov/survey/#eia-858

Summary of Responses to Federal Register Notice of February 11, 2015:

There were no comments to the Federal Register Notice.

  1. Remuneration

No payments or gifts are made to the respondents of these UDP surveys.

  1. Confidentiality Provisions

EIA UDP surveys are collected under the Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act of 2002 (CIPSEA). CIPSEA provides legal authority for a federal statistical agency to provide a pledge of confidentiality protection to its statistical survey information collection activities. EIA is required to pledge to respondents that it will keep the provided information confidential and that the information will be exclusively used for statistical purposes. The appropriate CIPSEA pledge is incorporated into the survey instructions and the form includes a reference to the instructions for details about confidentiality.

Except for the elements listed below, the information provided on the EIA UDP forms will be used for statistical purposes only and kept confidential under the Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act of 2002 (CIPSEA).

The following elements reported on the EIA UDP surveys will be considered “public information” and may be publicly released in company or individually identifiable form, and will not be protected from disclosure in identifiable form.

Form EIA-851A (Annual) and Form EIA-851Q (Quarterly):

Respondent and Contact Information:

- Company Name

Item 1: Facility Information

- Name

- County

- State

- Owner

- Rated Capacity

- Operating Status

Form EIA-858:

Respondent and Contact Information:

- Company Name

Item 1: Contract

- A. Other Party Name

Item 3, Enrichment Services Purchased by Owners and Operators of Civilian Nuclear Power Reactors

- B. Seller's Name

For respondents to Form EIA-851A and Form EIA-851Q, the CIPSEA confidentiality pledge will read:

The information elements (Company name, Facility Information reported in Item including Name, County, State, Owner, Rated Capacity and Operating Status) reported on Form EIA-851A and Form EIA-851Q will be treated as public information and released in identifiable form. All other information you provide will be used for statistical purposes only. In accordance with the Confidential Information Protection provisions of Title V, Subtitle A of Public Law 107-347 and other applicable Federal laws, your responses will be kept confidential and will not be disclosed in identifiable form to anyone other than employees or agents without your consent. By law, every EIA employee, as well as every agent, is subject to a jail term, a fine of up to $250,000, or both if he or she discloses ANY identifiable information about you.

For respondents to Form EIA-858, the CIPSEA confidentiality pledge will read:

The information elements (Company name, Other Party Name under Item 1 and Seller’s Name under Item 3) reported on Form EIA-858 will be treated as public information and released in identifiable form. All other information you provide will be used for statistical purposes only. In accordance with the Confidential Information Protection provisions of Title V, Subtitle A of Public Law 107-347 and other applicable Federal laws, your responses will be kept confidential and will not be disclosed in identifiable form to anyone other than employees or agents without your consent. By law, every EIA employee, as well as every agent, is subject to a jail term, a fine of up to $250,000, or both if he or she discloses ANY identifiable information about you.

  1. Justification for Questions of a Sensitive Nature

The UDP data collections do not contain questions of a sensitive nature.

  1. Estimates of Respondent Burden (Hours and Cost)

The estimates of respondent burden for the individual forms contained in this package are listed in Table A1. The overall annual respondent burden is estimated to be 1,207 hours for 2015. The estimated costs to respondents for the burden hours are estimated to be $86,868 (1,207 hours times $71.97 per hour) for 2015. An average cost per hour of $71.97 is used because that is the average loaded (salary plus benefits) cost for an EIA employee at the time of this writing. EIA assumes that the survey respondent workforce completing surveys for EIA is comparable with the EIA workforce.

Table A1 Estimated Respondent Burden

The number of respondents on the EIA UDP surveys can fluctuate over time. The burden estimate includes time gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.

The overall total burden for the EIA UDP surveys is 1,207 hours annually. There are a total of 102 respondents who file a total of 169 forms annually, as some respondents report on more than one of the UDP forms. This results in an average of 1.66 individual responses (filings of an individual form) per year per respondent with each response averaging 7.14 hours, yielding an average annual burden of 11.83 hours per respondent. The total annual cost of the surveys is estimated to be $86,868 (burden hours times $71.97 per hour.)

  1. Estimates of Cost Burden to Respondents

EIA estimates that there are not any additional costs to respondents associated with the surveys in the UDP other than the costs associated with the burden hours as set forth in Item 13, above.

  1. Estimates of Annual Cost to the Government

The annual costs of the UDP data collection to the Federal Government, including personnel, systems development and maintenance, collection, processing, analysis, and publication are estimated to be $144,000.

  1. Changes in Burden to Respondents

The currently approved burden in 2012 for the EIA UDP (OMB Number 1905-0160) is 205 responses annually for a total of 1,460 hours. The proposed burden for this request is 169 responses annually for a total of 1,207 hours. This is a decrease of 36 responses annually and 253 hours annually, due to a decrease in the number of respondents across the surveys. There is no change resulting from an EIA program change (See Table A2).
