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 DOE Organization 

Act (Pub. L. 95–91, 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. 

The EIA, as part of its effort to comply 

with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (Pub. L. 104–13, 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. 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) under Section 3507(a) of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. 

Form EIA–63A, ‘‘Annual Solar 

Thermal Collector Manufacturers 

Survey,’’ collects information on the 

distribution of solar thermal panels by 

manufacturers; Form EIA–63B, ‘‘Annual 

Photovoltaic Module/Cell 

Manufacturers Survey,’’ collects 

information on the distribution by 

manufacturers of photovoltaic (PV) 

cells/modules; and Form EIA–902, 

‘‘Annual Geothermal Heat Pump 

Manufacturers Survey,’’ collects 

information on distribution of 

geothermal heat pumps by 

manufacturers. Specifically, all forms 

collect information on manufacturing, 

imports, exports, and 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 alternative fuels 

page of EIA’s Web site at http:// 

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

II. Current Actions 

EIA proposes to collect information 

on Forms EIA–63A, EIA–63B, and EIA–

902 using EIA’s Internet Data Collection 

(IDC) system as the primary mode for 

reporting information. Survey 

respondents must provide an e-mail 

address to EIA to receive instructions on 

the procedures for submitting 

information electronically. The IDC 

system utilizes secure socket layer 

software to encrypt and protect the 

information transmitted between a 

respondent and EIA. All software that is 

necessary to report electronically is 

provided by EIA at no cost to the 

respondents. Respondents need to 

register one time with EIA and receive 

a mailing identification and code prior 

to reporting electronically. 

The EIA has completed an extensive 

review and update of the renewable 

survey collection instruments. The 

objective of the review is to provide a 

standardized survey instrument and 

unified data collection approach for all 

three renewable forms. All three forms 

collect information from manufacturers 

of renewable energy equipment. The 

proposed forms revision is the result of 

efforts, which includes input from the 

renewable energy industry, other 

industry users of the data, government 

agencies, consumer groups, and private 

sector analysts. EIA will be requesting 

approval for its revisions and a threeyear extension for its renewable surveys 

with the following proposed survey 

changes. 

Form EIA–63A, ‘‘Annual Solar Thermal 

Collector Manufacturers Survey.’’

The EIA proposes the following 

revisions, additions, and deletions to 

harmonize the data requested across the 

three surveys.
