performance reports to the Department 

(34 CFR 75.590). 

The Department will also closely 

monitor the extent to which the 

products and services provided by the 

Center meet needs identified by 

stakeholders and may require the Center 

to report on such alignment in their 

annual and final performance reports. 

6. Continuation Awards: In making a 

continuation award under 34 CFR 

75.253, the Secretary considers, among 

other things: whether a grantee has 

made substantial progress in achieving 

the goals and objectives of the project; 

whether the grantee has expended funds 

in a manner that is consistent with its 

approved application and budget; and, 

if the Secretary has established 

performance measurement 

requirements, whether the grantee has 

made substantial progress in achieving 

the performance targets in the grantee’s 

approved application. 

In making a continuation award, the 

Secretary also considers whether the 

grantee is operating in compliance with 

the assurances in its approved 

application, including those applicable 

to Federal civil rights laws that prohibit 

discrimination in programs or activities 

receiving Federal financial assistance 

from the Department (34 CFR 100.4, 

104.5, 106.4, 108.8, and 110.23).

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Energy Information Administration 

Agency Information Collection 

Proposed Extension 

AGENCY: U.S. Energy Information 

Administration (EIA), Department of 

Energy (DOE). 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: EIA invites public comment 

on the proposed three-year extension, 

with change, to Form EIA–63C 

Densified Biomass Fuel Report as 

required under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995. The report is 

part of EIA’s comprehensive energy data 

program. Form EIA–63C collects 

monthly data on the manufacture, 

shipment, exports, energy 

characteristics, and sales of densified 

biomass fuels and other densified 

biomass fuel products from facilities 

that manufacture densified biomass fuel 

products (pellet fuels), for energy 

applications. 

DATES: EIA must receive all comments 

on this proposed information collection 

no later than April 22, 2024. If you 

anticipate any difficulties in submitting 

your comments by the deadline, contact 

the person listed in the ADDRESSES

section of this notice as soon as 

possible. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Patricia 

Hutchins by email at patricia.hutchins@

eia.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Connor Murphy, EI–23, U.S. Energy 

Information Administration, telephone 

1–800–342–4872 or (202) 287–5982, 

email Connor.Murphy@eia.gov. The 

form and instructions are available at 

https://www.eia.gov/survey/#eia-63. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

information collection request contains: 

(1) OMB No.: 1905–0209; 

(2) Information Collection Request 

Title: Densified Biomass Fuel Report; 

(3) Type of Request: Three-year 

extension with change; 

(4) Purpose: Form EIA–63C is part of 

EIA’s comprehensive energy data 

program. The survey collects 

information on the manufacture, 

shipment, exports, energy 

characteristics, and sales of pellet fuels 

and other densified biomass fuel 

products from facilities that 

manufacture densified biomass fuel 

products, primarily pellet fuels, for 

energy applications. The data collected 

on Form EIA–63C are a primary source 

of information for the nation’s growing 

production of biomass products for 

heating and electric power generation, 

and for use in both domestic and foreign 

markets. 

(4a) Proposed Changes to Information 

Collection: There is a reduction in the 

number of survey respondents required 

to file EIA–63C reports. This reduces the 

annual estimated responses and 

associated burden hours. There is no 

change to the content collected on the 

EIA–63C. 

(5) Annual Estimated Number of 

Respondents: 76; 

(6) Annual Estimated Number of 

Total Responses: 912; 

(7) Annual Estimated Number of 

Burden Hours: 1,277; 

(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Cost Burden: The cost of 

the burden hours is estimated to be 

$116,411 (1,277 burden hours times 

$91.16 per hour). EIA estimates that 

there are no additional costs to 

respondents associated with the survey 

other than the costs associated with the 

burden hours. 

Comments are invited on whether or 

not: (a) The proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of agency functions, 

including whether the information will 

have a practical utility; (b) EIA’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used, is accurate; (c) EIA 

can improve the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information it will collect; 

and (d) EIA can minimize the burden of 

the collection of information on 

respondents, such as automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. 

Statutory Authority: 15 U.S.C. 772(b) 

and 42 U.S.C. 7101 et seq. 

Signed in Washington, DC, on February 15, 

2024.

Director, Office of Statistical Methods and 

Research, U.S. Energy Information 

Administration.
