operations, and expanding the use of 

demand response, storage, and electric 

vehicles in electric system operations. 

(4a) Proposed Changes: EIA proposes 

to: 

• Change the amount of time within 

which the respondents must report. 

Currently respondents must submit 

their data within 60 minutes of the end 

of the data hour. The proposal is to 

change that to within 30 minutes of the 

end of the data hour. This change would 

be consistent with the observed 

reporting capabilities of the 

respondents. 

• Require respondents to report 

hourly sub-regional actual demand 

when these values are produced in the 

normal course of business within a 

month of the operating day. 

• Require respondents to report 

hourly net generation by standard fuel 

type categories. 

Also, EIA requests comments on 

whether it should continue its current 

policy of limited withholding of small 

Balancing Authority data for two days. 

(5) Estimated Number of Survey 

Respondents: The annual estimated 

number of respondents is 66. 

(6) Annual Estimated Number of 

Total Responses: The annual estimated 

number of total responses is 24,090. 

(7) Annual Estimated Number of 

Burden Hours: The annual estimated 

burden is 3,960 hours, which represents 

an increase of 1,618 burden hours from 

the prior renewal of this collection. The 

increase in burden is due to the 

expansion of the form to collect net 

generation by standard fuel type. 

(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Cost Burden: Additional 

costs to respondents are not anticipated 

beyond costs associated with response 

burden. The information is maintained 

in the normal course of business. The 

cost of burden hours to the respondents 

is estimated to be $285,199 (3,960 

burden hours times $72.02 per hour). 

Therefore, other than the cost of burden 

hours, EIA estimates that there are no 

additional costs for generating, 

maintaining and providing the 

information.
