SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

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. 

EIA conducts coal surveys to collect 

information on coal production, 

receipts, consumption, quality, stocks, 

and prices. This information is used to 

support public policy analyses of the 

coal industry and is published in 

various EIA publications, including the 

Annual Coal Report, the Annual Energy 

Review, the Monthly Energy Review, 

and the Quarterly Coal Report. 

Respondents to the coal surveys include
