## Meetings with Interested Parties

**American Forest and Paper Association**
**North American Electric Reliability Council**
**American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy**
**National Rural Electric Cooperative Association**
**American Public Power Association**
**Edison Electric Institute**
**EIA, Offices of Analysis and Forecasting; Energy Markets and End Use; Coal, Nuclear, Electric and Alternate Fuels**
**National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners**
**DOE Office of Energy Assurance, Office of Policy and International Affairs**

## Internet Data Collection System

**One third (over 13,000) of all forms were submitted over the Internet in 2003**
**Goal: have at least 65 percent of all forms submitted over the Internet by the last quarter of 2004**
**All data requests have gone via e-mail**
**Established a Help Center to field inquiries**

## Analysis of Key Issues

**Role of distributed and dispersed generation (EIA-861)**
**Fuel switching information (EIA-860)**
**System emergencies and disturbances (EIA-417)**
**Transmission information (EIA-411, 412, 860)**
**Bulk power imports and exports (FE-781R)**
**Plant cost data for unregulated entities (EIA-412)**
**Energy balances for unregulated entities (EIA-906, 920)**

## Existing Sensitive Data Elements

**Fuel cost (EIA-423)**
**Fuel stocks (EIA-906)**
**Latitude and longitude (EIA-767, EIA-860)**
**Maximum tested heat rate under full load conditions (EIA-860)**
**Plant cost for unregulated entities (EIA-412)**
**Monthly retail sales, revenue, and number of customers (energy only service) (EIA-826)**
**Select emergency information (EIA-417)**

## Proposed Changes to Sensitive Data Elements

**New elements**
**Power flow cases**
**Transmission line maps**
**Release 6 months after year end**
**Fuel cost (EIA-423)**
**Fuel stocks (EIA-906)**
**Monthly retail sales, revenue, and number of customers (energy only service) (EIA-826)**
**Cover under ****the new Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act**
**Plant cost for unregulated entities (EIA-412)**
