The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is asking the public for comments on its request to extend the use of a specific form, known as Form NWPA-830G, for three more years. This form is used by those who handle spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste to determine the fees they must pay into the Nuclear Waste Fund, based on their electricity production. The DOE has reduced the number of reactors required to submit this form from 95 to 94, following the permanent shutdown of one reactor. Comments on this proposed collection must be submitted by January 17, 2025.

The Energy Information Administration (EIA) is seeking public comments on a proposed three-year extension of a form related to the disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste. This form, known as Form NWPA-830G Appendix G, is used to ensure that generators and owners of nuclear waste pay the required fees into the nuclear waste fund based on their electricity production. Comments on this information collection are due by April 23, 2021. The form helps the Department of Energy gather necessary data for assessing the nation's energy resources and ensuring compliance with federal laws.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has renewed the charter for the Licensing Support Network Advisory Review Panel (LSNARP) until December 16, 2026. The panel provides guidance on managing electronic documents related to the licensing of a nuclear waste disposal site at Yucca Mountain. Although the Licensing Support Network was shut down in 2011, its documents are still available through the NRC and continue to be relevant for affected stakeholders, including federal agencies and regional organizations. The renewal is deemed necessary by the NRC to fulfill its legal duties.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has renewed the charter for the Licensing Support Network Advisory Review Panel (LSNARP), which provides advice on managing documents related to a geologic repository for high-level radioactive waste. Initially established in 1989, the Panel helps oversee an electronic system for document storage and retrieval. The renewal is valid until December 30, 2022, and involves various stakeholders, including federal and state agencies, local governments, and industry groups. This action aligns with the Federal Advisory Committee Act and is in the public interest.
