(4a) Proposed Changes to Information
Collection:
Form EIA–182: Domestic Crude Oil First
Purchase Report
EIA is replacing ‘‘North Dakota
Sweet’’ crude stream with ‘‘North
Dakota Bakken’’ crude stream. This is
due to increased crude oil production of
the Bakken crude steam, and will
provide accurate price estimates for the
domestic crude stream. ‘‘North Dakota
Sweet’’ purchase information will
continue to be collected in the ‘‘Other
North Dakota,’’ category.
EIA–877: Winter Heating Fuels
Telephone Survey
EIA is adding annual sales volumes of
residential heating oil for statistical
estimation purposes. The addition of the
annual heating oil sales volumes
improves the accuracy of price estimates
because it provides a more accurate
method to calculate a weighted average
point-in-time price.

Form EIA–878: Motor Gasoline Price
Survey
EIA is collecting annual sales volumes
of motor gasoline of regular, mid, and
premium grades on a triennial basis.
The survey will collect this information
from corporate offices of suppliers of
whole sale and retail gasoline,
hypermarkets, and individual station
owners. EIA will use annual sales
volumes of motor gasoline to determine
the measure of size and weights for the
outlets sampled. EIA is also updating its
frame of retail gasoline outlets and
reselecting a sample of retail outlets
utilizing a new sample design. The new
sample will replace the current sample
that reports on Form EIA–878.
(5) Annual Estimated Number of
Respondents: 10,578
(6) Annual Estimated Number of
Total Responses: 125,490
(7) Annual Estimated Number of
Burden Hours: 48,690
(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Cost Burden: $3,775,000.
The cost of the burden hours is
estimated to be $3,586,506 (48,690
burden hours times $73.66 per hour).
EIA estimates that there are no
additional costs to respondents
associated with the surveys other than
the costs associated with the burden
hours.

ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:

EIA, pursuant to the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
intends to extend (with changes) for
three years with the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), Form
GC–859 Nuclear Fuel Data Survey, OMB
Control Number 1901–0287. Form GC–
859 Nuclear Fuel Data Survey collects
data on spent nuclear fuel from all
utilities that operate commercial nuclear
reactors and from all others that possess
irradiated fuel from commercial nuclear
reactors. Comments are invited on:
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of
the burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.
DATES: Comments regarding this
proposed information collection must
be received on or before September 25,
2017. If you anticipate difficulty in
submitting comments within that
period, contact the person listed in
ADDRESSES as soon as possible.
ADDRESSES: Written comments may be
sent to Marta Gospodarczyk, Office of
Electricity, Coal, Nuclear, and
Renewables Analysis, EI–34, Forrestal
Building, U.S. Department of Energy,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Requests for additional information or
copies of the information collection
instrument and instructions should be
directed to Marta Gospodarczyk at the
contact information given above. Form
GC–859 is available on the internet at
https://www.eia.gov/survey/#gc-859.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
information collection request contains:
(1) OMB No.: 1901–0287.
(2) Information Collection Request
Title: Nuclear Fuel Data Survey.
(3) Type of Request: Renewal.
(4) Purpose: The Nuclear Waste Policy
Act of 1982 (42 U.S.C. 10101 et seq.)
required that the DOE enter into
Standard Contracts with all generators
or owners of spent nuclear fuel and
high-level radioactive waste of domestic
origin. Form GC–859 (formerly Form
RW–859) originated from an appendix
to this Standard Contract.
Form GC–859 Nuclear Fuel Data
Survey collects information on nuclear
fuel use and spent fuel discharges from
all utilities that operate commercial
nuclear reactors and from all others that
possess irradiated fuel from commercial
nuclear reactors. The data collection
provides stakeholders with detailed
information concerning the spent
nuclear fuel generated by the
respondents (commercial utility
generators of spent nuclear fuel and
other owners of spent nuclear fuel
within the U.S.).
Data collected from the survey are
utilized by personnel from DOE Office
of Nuclear Energy (NE), DOE Office of
Environmental Management (EM), and
the national laboratories to meet their
research objectives of developing a
range of options and supporting
analyses that facilitate informed choices
about how best to manage spent nuclear
fuel (SNF).
(4a) Proposed Changes to Information
Collection
• Collection of fuel manufacturer and
lattice size used in Section C.1.1 of the
2013 GC–859 will be replaced by fuel
assembly type codes in Section C.1.3.
Fuel assembly type codes were last
collected in the 2003 RW–859. Selection
boxes were added to this section to
reduce reporting burden. Respondents
may mark the fuel assembly type code
based on the reactor design, previously
used fuel types, range of assembly
identification numbers, and initial cycle
in core. Identification of fuel assembly
type provides significantly more
information to analyze the spent fuel.
• Cumulative cycle burnup for each
assembly is added to Section C.1.2 of
the survey. Respondents may
voluntarily report this data. Assembly

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 143 / Thursday, July 27, 2017 / Notices
burnup data by cycle is used to
calculate discharged fuel characteristics
and obtain fundamental parameters
needed for spent fuel safety analyses.
• Section C.1.4 is added to the survey
to collect data on all discharged fuel
that is shipped or transferred to other
storage sites (since January 1, 2003).
This information was last collected in
the 2003 using Form RW–859 and
allows the tracking of all spent nuclear
fuel discharged by commercial reactors,
regardless of current ownership or
transit status.
• Section C.2 ‘Projected Assembly
Discharges’ is deleted since this data is
no longer needed for analysis.
• Section C.3.3.1 requests information
for consolidated, reconstituted,
reconstructed fuel assemblies. A dropdown menu was created with these
three choices of fuel assemblies.
• A note is added in Section D.3.2
‘Multi-Assembly Canisters/Casks
Inventory’ to capture deviations from
standard operating procedures related to
drying, backfilling, leak testing, or pad
transfer processes.
• Dry cask loading pattern maps with
orientation details are added to Section
D.3.3 of the survey. For each canister/
cask model, respondents provide or
reference a loading map that clearly
indicates identifiers for basket cell
locations relative to fixed drain and vent
port locations. For systems stored
horizontally, the map indicates which
direction is up when placed in a
horizontal storage module. The dry cask
loading pattern data facilitates detailed
as-loaded analyses and enables the
quantification of realistic safety margins
and conditions.
• Section E.2 ‘Non-fuel Components
Integral to an Assembly’ is deleted and
the data on non-fuel components
integral to an assembly should be
reported in Section C.1.1.
• Schedule G is deleted. This
schedule was used to collect comments.
It is easier for respondents to provide
comments when completing a schedule
so the new form will collect comments
after each section.
• A copy of Standard Contract (10
CFR 961.11) Appendix E General
Specifications is added to the survey for
the convenience of the respondents.
• The following terms have either
been added or updated to match the
definition prescribed by the Standard
Contract; Canister, DOE Facility, Failed
Fuel, Multi-Assembly Canister/Cask,
Non-fuel Component Identifier, Nonstandard Fuel and Reconstructed
Assembly.
• DOE proposes to use Form GC–859
to collect information once every three
years. Reporting once every three years

reduces respondent burden by
permitting all new data for the
multiyear period to be reported in one
report.
(5) Annual Estimated Number of
Respondents: 125 respondents with one
response each.
(6) Annual Estimated Number of
Total Responses: The annual number of
total responses is 42.
(7) Annual Estimated Number of
Burden Hours: 3,746.7 hours.
(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Cost Burden: Additional
costs to respondents are not anticipated
beyond costs associated with response
burden hours. The information is
maintained in the normal course of
business. The cost of the burden hours
is estimated to be $275,980 (3,746.7
burden hours times $73.66 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.
