SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the extended collection of

utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the

This information collection request contains:
(1) OMB No.: 1910-5173;
(2) Information Collection Request Titled: The American Assured
Fuel Supply Program;
(3) Type of Review: Extension;

reserve of low enriched uranium (LEU) to serve as backup fuel supply

domestic recipients in the case of supply disruptions in the nuclear
fuel market. This effort supports the United States Government's
nuclear nonproliferation objectives by supporting civilian nuclear
energy development while minimizing proliferation risks. This
collection of information in the event of supply disruption is
necessary for DOE to identify if applicants meet basic requirements to
access the AAFS and implement this important nonproliferation
initiative.
