SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

II. Current Actions 

III. Request for Comments 

I. Background 

Voluntary Reporting of Greenhouse 

Gases Program collections are 

conducted pursuant to Section 1605(b) 

of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (Pub. 

L. 102–486, 42 U.S.C. 13385) under 

revised General and Technical 

Guidelines issued by the DOE’s Office of 

Policy and International Affairs in April 

2006 and April 2007, respectively. The 

EIA–1605 form is designed to collect 

voluntarily reported data on greenhouse 

gas emissions, achieved reductions of 

these emissions, and increased carbon 

fixation. A summary of the initial 

results of the Voluntary Reporting of 

Greenhouse Gases Program under the 

revised program guidelines will appear 

in the Program’s annual report titled 

Voluntary Reporting of Greenhouse 

Gases. Later this year, once it is 

available, EIA will post the annual 

report on the program’s webpage at 

http://www.eia.doe.gov/oiaf/1605/ 

index.html. For annual reports issued 

under the original program guidelines 

go to http://www.eia.doe.gov/oiaf/1605/ 

1605b_old.html. Additionally, EIA 

produces and makes publicly available, 

a ‘‘public-use’’ database containing all 

the non-confidential information 

reported to EIA’s Voluntary Reporting of 

Greenhouse Gases Program on the 

Forms EIA–1605. Once these data are 

finalized, EIA will make them available 

at the program’s Web page (http:// 

www.eia.doe.gov/oiaf/1605/index.html). 

Data submitted under the original 

program, meanwhile, is also available 

on the program’s webpage (http:// 

www.eia.doe.gov/oiaf/1605/ 

OldDatabases.html). 

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 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. 

II. Current Actions 

As a result of the experience gained 

in the implementation of the first 

reporting cycle under the revised 

guidelines launched on November 18, 

2009, the EIA plans to slightly revise 

Form EIA–1605 and the accompanying 

instructions. These revisions fall into 

the following three categories: Caption/ 

instruction changes, grid changes, and 

changes to the form designed to bring 

greater conformity between the paper 

form and the electronic form used by 

respondents via EIA’s Internet Survey 

Management System (ISMS). Summaries 

of the three types of changes are 

provided below. Note, that in the 

proposed revised forms posted on EIA’s 

webpage (http://www.eia.doe.gov/oiaf/ 

1605/omb2010.html). EIA will highlight 

sections of the forms that have been 

revised. 

Caption/Instruction Changes 

EIA has made contextual changes to 

the captions and explanatory text in 

Schedule I, Schedule II, Schedule III 

and Schedule IV in order to provide 

respondents with effective guidance for 

properly completing both the paper and 

electronic versions of the form. These 

changes were made in response to 

usability testing as well as internal 

review. Changes have also been made to 

correct errors, including typos, in the 

previously approved forms. 

Emissions Inventory Grid Changes 

EIA has modified the emissions 

inventory grids in Schedule I, Section 2, 

Part B and Addendum A to include two 

additional columns with the captions 

‘‘Fuel Type’’ and ‘‘Specific Facility/ 

Source Name (optional)’’. These 

columns are needed in order to 

disaggregate the estimation methods and 

associated ratings reported on the 

electronic form and, therefore, allow the 

system to calculate a weighted rating of 

the emission inventory methods used by 

respondents. EIA also revised some of 

the emission sources listed in the 

inventory grids to align them with the 

sources and methods identified in the 

Technical Guidelines. 

Changes To Accommodate the 

Electronic Form 

EIA has modified several existing 

questions and added a few additional 

questions to Schedule I and II to bring 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
14146 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 56 / Wednesday, March 24, 2010 / Notices 

the paper form into conformity with the 

electronic version of Form EIA–1605. 

These changes reflect the fact that 

certain questions and question/ 

sequences in the electronic version of 

the form are necessary in order to 

activate only those sections of the 

electronic form that the respondent 

needs to fill out. The changes are also 

intended to reduce the burden of 

reporting using the electronic software 

and improve usability. The affected 

questions can be found in: Schedule I, 

Section 1, Questions 3b, 3d, 3e, 

Question 4, and Question 7; Schedule I, 

Section 4, Questions 1, 2, 3, 4; Schedule 

II, Section 3, Questions 1, 2; and in 

Addendum B2, Part A, Questions 3 and 

4 will be deleted. 

Please refer to the revised version of 

the form and instructions for more 

information about the purpose, who 

may report, when to report, where to 

submit, the elements to be reported, 

instructions for reporting, provisions for 

confidentiality, and uses (including 

possible nonstatistical uses) of the 

information (http://www.eia.doe.gov/ 

oiaf/1605/omb2010.html). For 

instructions on obtaining materials, see 

the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

section. 

III. Request for Comments 

Prospective respondents and other 

interested parties should comment on 

the actions discussed in item II. The 

following issues are provided to assist 

in the preparation of comments. 

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 60 

hours per response. The 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.
