The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), part of the Department of Energy, has requested an extension for its Uranium Data Program. This program collects data on uranium production and marketing in the U.S. through three surveys. EIA plans to stop protecting certain survey information under the Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency guidelines due to changes in the uranium market. Although there are no additional costs, the time to complete one of the forms has increased.
Simple Explanation
The Energy Information Administration wants to keep collecting and sharing data about how uranium is made and sold in the U.S., but they're making some changes to how they protect this information and how long it takes people to fill out their forms. They explain the need for these changes and say they will still share some of the data with the public.
