Proposed Agency Information 

Collection 

AGENCY: U.S. Energy Information 

Administration (EIA), Department of 

Energy (DOE). 

ACTION: Agency information collection 

activities: Proposed information 

collection; notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The EIA invites public 

comment on a proposed collection of 

information that EIA is developing for 

submission to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) pursuant to the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The 

EIA is soliciting comments on two 

proposed actions (1) revisions to the 

Form EIA–923, ‘‘Power Plant Operations 

Report’’ and Form EIA–861, ‘‘Annual 

Electric Power Industry Report,’’ and (2) 

creation of the Form EIA–861S, Annual 

Electric Power Industry Report (Short 

Form). 

The Federal Energy Administration 

Act of 1974, specifically 15 U.S.C. 790a, 

and the DOE Organization Act, 

specifically 42 U.S.C. 7135, require the 

EIA to carry out a centralized, 

comprehensive, and unified energy 

information program. This program 

collects, evaluates, assembles, analyzes, 

and disseminates information on energy 

resource reserves, production, demand, 

technology, and related economic and 

statistical information. 

The EIA collects information about 

the electric power industry for use by 

government and private sector analysts. 

The survey information is disseminated 

in a variety of electronic products and 

files. For details on the EIA electric 

power information program, please visit 

the electricity page of the EIA Internet 

site at http://www.eia.gov/electricity/.

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 51 / Thursday, March 15, 2012 / Notices 15363 

The EIA, as part of its effort to comply 

with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (44 U.S.C. §§ 3501, et seq.), 

provides the general public and others 

with opportunities to comment on 

collections of energy information 

conducted by or in conjunction with the 

EIA. Also, the EIA will later seek 

approval for this collection by the Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB) 

under Section 3507(a) of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995. 

The proposed changes to the Form 

EIA–861 and Form EIA–923 survey 

forms and the creation of the new Form 

EIA–861S (‘‘short form’’) are designed to 

reduce the number of survey responses 

processed by EIA without materially 

sacrificing the quality of the data 

collected and published. The primary 

objective is to allow EIA to better match 

its workload to its available resources. 

The proposed changes would also 

reduce the burden on respondents. 

The proposed changes would not alter 

the current expiration date for the 

existing Form EIA–923 and Form EIA– 

861 surveys of October 31, 2013. The 

requested expiration date for the new 

Form EIA–861S is also October 31, 

2013. During 2013, EIA will request the 

standard 3-year approval for these and 

other electric power forms (i.e., for 2014 

through 2016). 

The form changes are explained 

below. Please refer to the proposed 

forms and instructions for more 

information about the purpose, who 

must report, when to report, where to 

submit, the elements to be reported, 

detailed instructions, provisions for 

confidentiality, and uses (including 

possible non-statistical uses) of the 

information. For instructions on 

obtaining materials, see the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section, below. 

DATES: Comments regarding this 

proposed information collection must 

be received on or before May 14, 2012. 

If you anticipate difficulty in submitting 

comments within that period, contact 

the person listed in ADDRESSES below as 

soon as possible. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Rebecca 

Peterson. To ensure receipt of the 

comments by the due date, email is 

recommended (Electricity2013@eia.gov). 

Comments may also be submitted via 

fax at (202) 586–3045 or mail to U. S. 

Department of Energy, U. S. Energy 

Information Administration, EI–23, 

1000 Independence Avenue SW., 

Washington, DC 20585. Alternatively, 

Rebecca Peterson may be contacted by 

telephone at (202) 586–4509. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Requests for additional information or 

copies of the information collection 

instrument and instructions should be 

directed to Ms. Peterson at the contact 

information given above. The proposed 

forms and instructions, along with 

related information on this clearance 

package, can be viewed at http:// 

www.eia.gov/survey/changes/electricity. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

information collection request includes 

information on two surveys for which 

material changes are proposed, the 

Forms EIA–861, and EIA–923, and for 

the new Form EIA–861S. 

Form EIA–861 

(1) OMB No. 1905–0129. 

(2) Information Collection Request 

Title: Form EIA–861, ‘‘Annual Electric 

Power Industry Report’’. 

(3) Type of Request: Revision. 

(4) Purpose: 

Need for and proposed use of the 

information: The Form EIA–861 is used 

to collect retail sales of electricity and 

associated revenue from all electric 

utilities, energy service providers, and 

distribution companies in the United 

States, its territories, and Puerto Rico on 

an annual basis. The data from this form 

appear in various EIA information 

products and are used by public and 

private analysts to monitor the current 

status and trends of the electric power 

industry and to evaluate the future of 

the industry. The response obligation 

for the information collection is 

mandatory. 

The EIA proposes the following 

changes to Form EIA–861, ‘‘Annual 

Electric Power Industry Report.’’ 

Modify the frame from a census to a 

sample, and use imputation methods to 

estimate the sales revenues and 

customer counts by sector and State for 

the remaining industry. 

Currently there are approximately 

3,300 respondents to the Form EIA–861. 

The current proposal would decrease 

that to approximately 2,200 

respondents. 

(5) Annual Estimated Number of 

Respondents: 2,200. 

(6) Annual Estimated Number of 

Total Responses: 2,200. 

(7) Annual Estimated Number of 

Burden Hours: 19,800. 

(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Cost Burden: $0 There 

are no additional costs to respondents 

associated with the survey other than 

the costs associated with the burden 

hours. 

Form EIA–861S 

(1) OMB No. 1905–0129. 

(2) Information Collection Request 

Title: Form EIA–861S, ‘‘Annual Electric 

Power Industry Report (Short Form)’’. 

(3) Type of Request: New. 

(4) Purpose: 

Need for and proposed use of the 

information: Form EIA–861S will be 

used to collect information on the status 

of select electric power industry 

participants involved in the sale and 

distribution of electricity in the United 

States. The data collected on this form 

will be used to provide statistical 

estimates that will appear in various 

EIA information products and will be 

used by public and private analysts to 

monitor the current status and trends of 

the electric power industry and to 

evaluate the future of the industry. The 

response obligation for the information 

collection is mandatory. 

The EIA proposes the following for 

Form EIA–861S, ‘‘Annual Electric 

Power Industry Report (Short Form)’’. 

Create a new Form EIA–861S for the 

respondents that have been removed 

from the Form EIA–861 frame (about 

1,100 respondents; see above). The new 

survey will ask respondents for contact 

information and a limited set of 

primarily yes/no questions concerning 

their status and operations. This limited 

data will be used to estimate nationwide 

totals, in combination with the 

comprehensive data collected from the 

sample on the Form EIA–861. 

In addition, for advanced metering 

and time-based tariff programs, EIA will 

collect limited data. 

The Form EIA–861S is to be 

completed by all electric utilities with 

annual retail sales in the prior year of 

100,000 megawatthours or less, with the 

following exceptions: (1) A respondent 

has retail sales of unbundled service; (2) 

A full set of data is required from the 

respondent to ensure that statistical 

estimates for a state or business sector 

are of acceptable quality; (3) A 

respondent reports in aggregate under 

the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) 

or WPPI Energy; and (4) A respondent 

has other unique retail programs of 

interest to the public the nature and 

extent of which cannot be adequately 

captured via this short form. Utilities for 

which any of the exceptions apply must 

complete the regular (long) version of 

the Form EIA–861 survey. 

Note that respondents can only 

complete one type of Form EIA–861, 

either the Form EIA–861 or the Form 

EIA–861S, but not both. Also note that 

responses are collected on both types of 

forms at the business (operating) level 

(not at the holding company level). 

In order to maintain the accuracy of 

the estimation procedure, once every 5 

years the Form EIA–861S respondents 

would be required to complete the Form 

EIA–861. Assuming this proposal is 

implemented, the first time all 

respondents would be required to 


srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
15364 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 51 / Thursday, March 15, 2012 / Notices 

complete the Form EIA–861 would be in 

2017 for 2016 data. 

EIA has performed an analysis to 

develop a methodology to impute for 

the sales, revenue, and customer data by 

State and sector that will not be 

collected annually from the respondents 

on the short form. A description of this 

methodology can be found at 

www.eia.gov/survey/forms/eia-861/ 

methodology.pdf. 

(5) Annual Estimated Number of 

Respondents: 1,100. 

(6) Annual Estimated Number of 

Total Responses: 1,100. 

(7) Annual Estimated Number of 

Burden Hours: 825. 

(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Cost Burden: $0. There 

are no additional costs to respondents 

associated with the survey other than 

the costs associated with the burden 

hours. 

Form EIA–923 

(1) OMB No. 1905–0129. 

(2) Information Collection Request 

Title: Form EIA–923, ‘‘Power Plant 

Operations Report,’’ Schedule 2, Cost 

and Quality of Fuel Purchases. 

(3) Type of Request: Revision. 

(4) Purpose: 

Need for and proposed use of the 

information: Form EIA–923 collects 

information from regulated and 

unregulated electric power plants in the 

United States. The current proposal 

affects only Schedule 2, Cost and 

Quality of Fuel Receipts. (As a matter of 

information, other data collected 

include electric power generation, 

energy source consumption, and end of 

reporting period fossil fuel stocks). Data 

are published for use by Congress and 

public and private analysts in the 

following EIA publications: Electric 

Power Annual, Electric Power Monthly, 

Monthly Energy Review, and Annual 

Energy Review. The response obligation 

for the information collection is 

mandatory. 

The EIA proposes the following 

changes to Form EIA–923, ‘‘Power Plant 

Operations Report.’’ 

Schedule 2 of the Form EIA–923, 

‘‘Power Plant Operations Report,’’ 

collects the cost and quality of fossil 

fuel purchases made by electric power 

plants with at least 50 megawatts (MW) 

of nameplate capacity primarily fueled 

by fossil fuels. The selection of 

respondents for Schedule 2 and its 

predecessors, the Form EIA–423 and the 

FERC Form 423 (the latter dating to the 

early 1970s), were tied to a minimum 

size threshold that varied over time 

from 25 MW to 50 MW. The types of 

plants required to respond have also 

changed over time. When Form EIA–923 

was first implemented, EIA imputed 

small amounts of data for receipts or 

cost of the fuel delivered to plants for 

power plants that did not meet the 

minimum capacity threshold. 

The proposed change from plants 

with a total fossil-fueled nameplate 

capacity of 50 MW or more to plants 

with a total fossil-fueled nameplate 

capacity of 200 MW or more will reduce 

the number of respondents who are 

required to complete Schedule 2. The 

change would also modify the required 

fossil fuel types to exclude selfproduced and minor fuels, i.e., blast 

furnace gas, other manufactured gases, 

kerosene, jet fuel, and waste oils. 

As part of this change, EIA would 

cease its current efforts to impute for 

fuel receipts and fuel cost for plants that 

do not meet the minimum capacity 

threshold. The collected data would be 

presented for fuel receipts, cost, and 

quality information for relatively large 

power plants. 

These changes would have a limited 

impact of the survey’s coverage of cost 

and quality for the major fossil fuels 

used in power generation (coal, 

distillate and residual fuel oil, 

petroleum coke, and natural gas) as even 

under this proposal EIA would still 

collect cost and quality data on the vast 

majority of receipts of coal and natural 

gas, the two main fossil fuels consumed 

in power generation. For additional 

details see the information posted on 

the EIA Web site at www.eia.gov/survey/ 

forms/eia-923/impact.pdf. 

Note that the proposed change to 

Schedule 2 does not affect the collection 

of fuel consumption information and 

reporting requirements on other 

schedules of the Form EIA–923. Data on 

fuel consumption and related 

information are collected from all 

generators using combustible fuels with 

a power plant capacity of 1 MW or 

greater. 

EIA expects this change will reduce 

resource requirements for processing 

and validating data based on the effort 

that was required in the past to verify 

data from small respondents and for the 

cost of minor fuels with highly variable 

quality characteristics and price. 

(5) Annual Estimated Number of 

Respondents: Estimated number of 

respondents: There are three variants of 

the Form EIA–923 survey, i.e. the 

monthly, the annual, and the 

supplemental. Currently, there are 1,912 

monthly respondents, 4,042 annual 

respondents, and 1,508 supplemental 

respondents. The annual total number 

of responses received for the monthly, 

annual, and supplemental Form EIA– 

923 surveys is 28,494. Under the current 

proposal, the number of respondents 

that file Schedule 2 of the monthly 

report will be reduced from 1,089 to 956 

per month. The number of respondents 

that file Schedule 2 annually will be 

reduced from 421 to 0. 

(6) Annual Estimated Number of 

Total Responses: 28,494. 

(7) Annual Estimated Number of 

Burden Hours: 78,957. 

(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Cost Burden: $0. There 

are no additional costs to respondents 

associated with the survey other than 

the costs associated with the burden 

hours. 

Request for Comments 

Prospective respondents and other 

interested parties should comment on 

the actions discussed above. The 

following guidelines are provided to 

assist in the preparation of comments. 

Please indicate to which form(s) your 

comments apply. 

As a Potential Respondent to the 

Request for Information 

A. Please comment on the specific 

proposed changes discussed above: 

1. Treatment of the Form EIA–861 as 

a sample to be supplemented by 

imputed estimates. 

2. Introduction of the Form EIA–861S 

short form to be completed by relatively 

small utilities. 

3. Increase in the reporting threshold 

for Schedule 2 of the Form EIA–923 to 

200 MW, and limiting the data 

collection to coal, distillate oil, residual 

oil, petroleum coke, and natural gas. 

4. Elimination of imputation for 

respondents that do not meet the 

reporting threshold for Schedule 2 of 

the Form EIA–923. 

B. Is the proposed collection of 

information necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency and does the information have 

practical utility? 

C. What actions could be taken to 

help ensure and maximize the quality, 

objectivity, utility, and integrity of the 

information collected? 

D. Are the instructions and 

definitions clear and sufficient? If not, 

which instructions need clarification? 

E. Can the information be submitted 

by the due dates? 

F. Burden estimates per response 

include the total time necessary to 

gather and provide the requested 

information. In your opinion, how 

accurate are the following burden 

estimates? 

Forms EIA–861 and EIA–861S: The 

public reporting burden for the Form 

EIA–861, ‘‘Annual Electric Power 

Industry Report,’’ is currently 9.0 hours 

per response with a total annual burden 


srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 51 / Thursday, March 15, 2012 / Notices 15365 

of approximately 29,700 hours. Because 

the proposal is to decrease the size of 

the frame (not the content of the survey 

form), the burden reduction is expressed 

as the change in total annual hours. The 

frame reduction would result in an 

estimated 33-percent decrease in the 

total annual burden for this form, or 

9,900 hours (1,100 respondents 

multiplied by 9 hours per response). 

The annual burden for the proposed 

Form EIA–861S, ‘‘Annual Electric 

Power Industry Report (Short Form),’’ is 

estimated at 825 hours (1,100 

respondents multiplied by 0.75 burden 

hours per response). The net annual 

burden reduction between the two 

forms is estimated at 9,075 hours. 

Form EIA–923: The total annual 

burden for the Form EIA–923, ‘‘Power 

Plant Operations Report,’’ is currently 

estimated at 81,518 hours. This figure is 

the sum of the burden hours for each 

survey (monthly, annual, and 

supplemental), which is calculated by 

multiplying the total number of 

responses per survey by the burden 

hours per survey response. The total 

annual burden hours under this 

proposal is estimated at 78,957 hours. 

This number is the sum of the new 

burden hours for each survey, which is 

calculated by multiplying the revised 

number of responses per survey by the 

revised burden hours per survey 

response. The proposed threshold 

increase for Schedule 2 would result in 

an estimated 3.1-percent decrease in the 

total annual burden for the Form EIA– 

923, calculated as the percentage 

decrease between the current and 

revised estimated total annual burden 

hours. 

G. The agency estimates that the only 

cost to a respondent is for the time it 

will take to complete the collection. 

Will a respondent incur any start-up 

costs for reporting, or any recurring 

annual costs for operation, maintenance, 

and purchase of services associated with 

the information collection? 

H. What additional actions could be 

taken to minimize the burden of this 

collection of information? Such actions 

may involve the use of automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

I. Does any other Federal, State, or 

local agency collect similar information? 

If so, specify the agency, the data 

element(s), and the methods of 

collection. 

As a Potential User of the Information 

to be Collected: 

A. Please comment on the specific 

proposed changes discussed above: 

1. Treatment of the Form EIA–861 as 

a sample to be supplemented by 

imputed estimates. 

2. Introduction of the Form EIA–861S 

short form to be completed by relatively 

small utilities. 

3. Increase in the reporting threshold 

for Schedule 2 of the Form EIA–923 to 

200 MW, and limiting the data 

collection to coal, distillate oil, residual 

oil, petroleum coke, and natural gas. 

4. Elimination of imputation for 

respondents that do not meet the 

reporting threshold for Schedule 2 of 

the Form EIA–923. 

B. Is the proposed collection of 

information necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Agency and does the information have 

practical utility? 

C. What actions could be taken to 

help ensure and maximize the quality, 

objectivity, utility, and integrity of the 

information disseminated? 

D. Is the information useful at the 

levels of detail to be collected? For what 

purpose(s) would the information be 

used? Be specific. 

E. Are there alternate sources for the 

information and are they useful? If so, 

what are their weaknesses and/or 

strengths? 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the request for OMB 

approval of these proposals. They also 

will become a matter of public record.
