DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

U.S. Energy Information 

Administration 

Agency Information Collection 

Extension 

AGENCY: U.S. Energy Information 

Administration (EIA), Department of 

Energy. 

ACTION: Notice and Request for OMB 

Review and Comment. 

SUMMARY: The EIA has submitted an 

information collection request to the 

OMB for extension under the provisions 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. 

The information collection requests a 

three-year extension of its Form EIA– 

846, ‘‘Manufacturing Energy 

Consumption Survey’’ (MECS), OMB 

Control Number 1905–0169. The 

proposed collection will collect data on 

energy consumption and related 

subjects for the manufacturing sector of 

the U.S. economy. Those manufacturing 

establishments selected for the 2014 

sample will have data collected on basic 

energy consumption and expenditures, 

shipments of energy offsite, end use 

consumption, building characteristics, 

participation in energy management 

programs, technologies, and fuelswitching capacity. The MECS will be 

conducted by the U.S. Department of 

Commerce’s Bureau of the Census, 

acting as the data collection agent for 

EIA. This survey will be fielded in early 

2015 to collect data for calendar year 

2014. 

DATES: Comments regarding this 

proposed information collection must 

be received on or before November 26, 

2014. If you anticipate that you will be 

submitting comments, but find it 

difficult to do so within the period of 

time allowed by this notice, please 

advise the DOE Desk Officer at OMB of 

your intention to make a submission as 

soon as possible. The Desk Officer may 

be telephoned at 202–395–4718. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments should 

be sent to the 

DOE Desk Officer, Office of Information 

and Regulatory Affairs, Office of 

Management and Budget, New 

Executive Office Building, Room 

10102, 735 17th Street NW.,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

information collection request contains: 

(1) OMB No. 1905–0169; 

(2) Information Collection Request 

Title: Manufacturing Energy 

Consumption Survey (MECS); 

(3) Type of Request: Reinstatement, 

with change, of a previously approved 

collection for which approval has 

expired; 

(4) Purpose: 

The Federal Energy Administration 

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

(42 U.S.C. 7135(i)) 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 Manufacturing Energy 

Consumption Survey (MECS) is a selfadministered sample survey designed to 

collect energy consumption and 

expenditures data from establishments 

in the manufacturing sector; i.e., North 

American Industry Classification 

System (NAICS) codes 31–33. Previous 

MECS required multiple collection 

forms depending on an establishment’s 

primary business activity classification 

under NAICS. The increased use of 

technology by means of an Internet data 

collection system however, has allowed 

the MECS to eliminate the need to have 

multiple forms. 

The 2014 MECS will collect 

information during 2015 for business 

activities in calendar year 2014. For the 

2014 MECS, as in the past, EIA proposes 

to collect the following data from each 

MECS establishment: (1) For each 

energy source consumed—consumption 

(total, fuel and nonfuel uses) and the 

expenditures for each energy source, 

energy storage (as applicable), energy 

produced onsite, and shipments (as 

applicable); (2) energy end uses; (3) fuelswitching capabilities; (4) general 

energy-saving technologies; (5) energy 

management activities; and (6) square 

footage, and number of buildings in the 

establishment. 

The MECS has been conducted eight 

times previously, covering the years 

1985, 1988, 1991, 1994, 1998, 2002, 

2006, and 2010. In all eight survey 

years, the MECS has collected baseline 

data on manufacturers’ energy 

consumption and expenditures. The 

MECS collected data on fuel-switching 

capabilities in all years except 1998. In 

the 1991, 1994, 1998, 2002, 2006, and 

2010 surveys, the MECS also collected 

data on end-uses, energy management 

activities, building square footage, and 

energy-saving technologies. 

The MECS information is the basis for 

data and analytic products that can be 

found at http://www.eia.gov/

consumption/manufacturing. Also on 

this Web site are past publications, 

articles, and a special analytic series, 

‘‘Industry Analysis Briefs.’’ The 2014 

MECS will also be used to benchmark 

EIA’s industry forecasting model and 

update changes in the energy intensity 

and greenhouse gases data series. 

The proposed 2014 MECS uses 

experience gained from the 

administration and processing of the 

eight previous surveys and past 

consultations with respondents, trade 

association representatives, and data 

users to improve the survey. 

Please refer to the 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 

of the information. For instructions on 

obtaining materials, see the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section;

Respondents: 15,500;

costs to respondents associated with the 

survey other than the costs associated 

with the burden hours.
