USE wire in conduit

I am thinking of using USE wire for a service lateral, installed in PVC schedule 80 conduit. I could get by with XHHW in the conduit, but the USE is more durable. Why is there (apparently) no listing in the code conduit fill charts for USE? If there is, I can't find it. Thanks for the help.

USE is generally listed as Rhw-2. At least the newer stuff seems to be that way. All the mobile home cable is also listed that way
