SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

II. Current Actions

III. Request for Comments

I. Background

The Federal Energy Administration

Act of 1974 (Pub. L. 93–275, 15 U.S.C.

761 et seq.) and the Department of

Energy Organization Act (Pub. L. 95–

91), 42 U.S.C. 7101 et seq.) require the

Energy Information administration (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.

The EIA, as part of its effort to comply

with the Paperwork Reduction Act of

1995 (Pub. L. 104–13, 44 U.S.C. Chapter

35), 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 Any

Comments received help the EIA to

prepare data requests that maximize the

utility of the information collected, and

to assess the impact of collection

requirements on the public. Also, the

EIA will later seek approval by the

Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) of the collections under Sections

3507(h)(1) and 3506(c) of the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995.

The Office of Coal and Power Imports

and Exports (Fossil Energy) will monitor

the levels of electricity imports and

exports and issue summary tabulations

in a staff Annual Report. The Office will

also provide monthly tabulations of

these data for use in the Energy

Information Administration’s Monthly

Energy Review and Annual Energy

Review. This information will be kept in

the public docket files and will be

available for public inspection and

copying.

II. Current Actions

A clearance package will be submitted

to the Office of Management and Budget

requesting approval of a three-year

extension with no change of the

currently-approved collection.

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.

General Issues

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? Practical utility is

defined as the actual usefulness of

information to or for an agency, taking

into account its accuracy, adequacy,

reliability, timeliness, and the agency’s

ability to process the information it

collects.

B. What enhancements can be made

to the quality, utility, and clarity of the

information to be collected?

As a Potential Respondent

A. Are the instructions and

definitions clear and sufficient? If not,

which instructions need clarification?

B. Can the information be submitted

by the due date?

C. Public reporting burden for this

collection is estimated to average 10

hours per response. The estimated

burden includes the total time, effort, or

financial resources expended to

generate, maintain, retain, disclose and

provide the information. Please

comment on the accuracy of the

estimate.

D. The agency estimates that the only

costs to the respondents are for the time

it will take them to complete the

collection. Please comment if

respondents will incur start-up costs for

reporting, or any recurring annual costs

for operation, maintenance, and

purchase of services associated with the

information collection.

E. 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.

F. 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

A. Is the information useful at the

levels of detail indicated on the form?

B. For what purpose(s) would the

information be used? Be specific.

C. Are there alternate sources for the

information and are they useful? If so,

strengths?

Take notice that on June 22, 2000, the

Boylston Municipal Light Department

Purchasers), tendered for filing a

complaint against Vermont Yankee

Nuclear Power Corporation (VY) and the

seven non-Vermont Sponsors of VY

from whom the Secondary Purchasers

obtain their entitlements to VY capacity

and energy. The complaint asserts that

VY is violating the terms of the

contractual formula rate by currently

collecting in its charges to the Sponsors

(who in turn pass through a share of

those charges to the Secondary

Purchasers) certain transaction expenses

incurred in connection with the

proposed sale of the VY plant. The

complaint requests refunds of all such

transaction costs that the Secondary

Purchasers have paid. The complaint

also asserts that upon consummation of

the proposed plant sale, the Secondary

Purchasers will have contributed more

than their contractual share of VY’s total

costs relating to decommissioning of the

VY plant, and requests refunds of such

excess contributions upon

consummation of the plant sale. The

Secondary Purchasers also request that

the complain proceedings be

consolidated with the review of the

proposed plant sale transaction under

Federal Power Act Sections 203 and 205

in Docket Nos. EC00–46–000, ER00–
