Abstract: EIA's Uranium Data Program (UDP) collects data necessary to meet EIA's legislative mandates as well as the needs of EIA's public and private customers. UDP collects data on domestic uranium supply and demand activities, including production, exploration and development, trade, purchases, and sales available to the U.S. The users of these data include Congress, Executive Branch agencies, the nuclear and uranium industry, the electric power industry, and the public. Respondents include all firms and individuals that comprise the U.S. uranium industry.

Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is a decrease in estimated burden as a result of a severe downturn in the domestic uranium industry. Many landholding and exploration companies are no longer in business or have exited the uranium industry. The number of respondents for Form EIA-851A has decreased from 48 to 30. The number of respondents for Form EIA-851Q has decreased from 15 to 11. Based on respondent comments that Form EIA-858 was taking longer than the 15 hours to complete and results from the study on response burden, EIA increased Form EIA-858 burden per response to 26 hours.
