SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

II. Current Actions 

III. Request for Comments 

I. Background 

The Federal Energy Administration 

Act of 1974 (15 U.S.C. 761 et seq.) and 

the DOE Organization Act (42 U.S.C. 

7101 et seq.) 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. This information is used to 

assess the adequacy of energy resources 

to meet near and longer term domestic 

demands and to promote sound 

policymaking, efficient markets, and 

public understanding of energy and its 

interaction with the economy and the 

environment. 

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 other Federal 

agencies 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. 

Form EIA–63A, ‘‘Annual Solar 

Thermal Collector/Reflector Shipments 

Report,’’ collects information on the 

distribution of solar thermal panels by 

manufacturers; Form EIA–63B, ‘‘Annual 

Photovoltaic Cell/Module Shipments 

Report,’’ collects information on the 

distribution by manufacturers of 

photovoltaic (PV) cells/modules; and 

Form EIA–902, ‘‘Annual Geothermal 

Heat Pump Shipments Report,’’ collects 

information on distribution of 

geothermal heat pumps by 

manufacturers. Specifically, all forms 

collect information on manufacturing, 

stocks, imports, exports, and domestic 

shipments. The EIA has been collecting 

the above information annually and 

proposes to continue the surveys. The 

data collected will be disseminated in 

electronic products and electronic data 

files for use by government and private 

sector analysts. For details on EIA’s 

renewables information program, please 

visit the renewable and alterative fuels 

page at EIA’s Web site at http:// 

www.eia.doe.gov/fuelrenewable.html. 

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 nonstatistical uses) 

of the information. For instructions on 

obtaining materials, see the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section. 

II. Current Actions 

The following actions are being taken 

for the EIA 63A, EIA–63B, and EIA–902: 

• The forms now request the ‘‘total 

equipment balance’’ (inventories, 

production, shipments, imports, 

exports, stocks), rather than just 

shipments, imports, and exports. 

• End uses are revised as appropriate 

for each survey but were compressed 

into fewer categories where possible. 

• The number of units and/or number 

of systems shipped, as appropriate, is 

now requested. 

• Shipments are now obtained by 

state for each sector, end use. 

Previously, data did not cross-classify 

shipments by state by sector or 

shipments by state by end use. 

• The eligible list of survey 

respondents is now expanded to cover 

importer/exporter-only companies, 

domestic subsidiaries of overseas 

manufacturers, and companies 

registered on a U.S. stock exchange. 

This will greatly improve coverage of 

equipment that is imported directly into 

the U.S. to an end user. 

Changes related to Form EIA–902 

only: 

• The American Refrigeration 

Institute (ARI)/International Standards 

Organization (ISO) GHP classifications 

are replaced by functional names of 

greater interest and usage by 

manufacturers. 

Changes related to Forms EIA–63A 

and EIA–63B only: 

• The ‘‘Other’’ collector type was 

eliminated because too many 

respondents chose it when a better 

choice was available. 

Changes related to Form EIA–63B 

only: 

• The form now has separate 

schedules for collecting cells and 

modules data. Data collected for cells 

and modules will be slightly different. 

III. Request for Comments 

Prospective respondents and other 

interested parties should comment on 

the actions discussed in item II. 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. Is the proposed collection of 

information necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency and does the information have 

practical utility? 

B. What actions could be taken to 

help ensure and maximize the quality, 

objectivity, utility, and integrity of the 

information to be collected? 

C. Are the instructions and definitions 

clear and sufficient? If not, which 

instructions need clarification? 

D. Can the information be submitted 

by the respondent by the due date? 

E. Public reporting burden for this 

collection is estimated to average 4.5 

burden hours per response for Form 

EIA–63A, 4.5 burden hours per response 

for Form EIA–63B and 4.5 burden hours 

per response for Form EIA–902. The 

WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 66 / Wednesday, April 7, 2010 / Notices 17703 

estimated burden includes the total time 

necessary to provide the requested 

information. In your opinion, how 

accurate is this estimate? 

F. 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? 

G. 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. 

H. 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. Is the proposed collection of 

information necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency and does the information have 

practical utility? 

B. What actions could be taken to 

help ensure and maximize the quality, 

objectivity, utility, and integrity of the 

information disseminated? 

C. Is the information useful at the 

levels of detail to be collected? 

D. 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 the form. They also will 

become a matter of public record.
