proposed collection will support a study on how consumers value vehicle fuel economy, compare the current results with those from a similar study conducted in 2003 (published in 2007), and estimate distributions of these valuation processes across the nationalpopulation of car-owning and carleasing households. The data derived from this study will be used to provide consumers with information that will help them value increased fuel economy as a means of reducing petroleum consumption, saving money on fuel, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

**DATES :**  Comments regarding this collection must be received on or before February 26, 2015. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice, please advise the DOE Desk Officer at OMB of your intention to make a submission as soon as possible. The Desk Officer may be telephoned at 202–
395–4718.

Federal Guidance Report No. 14: Radiation Protection Guidance for Diagnostic and Interventional X-RayProcedures is an update to the 1976 xray guidance in Federal Guidance Report No. 9, which provides federal facilities that use diagnostic and interventional x-ray equipment with recommendations for keeping patient doses as low as reasonably achievable without compromising the quality of patient care.

The EPA-led Interagency Steering Committee on Radiation Standards (ISCORS) Work Group that developed Federal Guidance Report No. 14 included medical and radiation protection professionals from EPA, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Defense (Departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

On April 3, 2013, a proposed version of this guidance was published in the Federal Register, opening a 60 day public comment period. The ISCORS work group reviewed more than 900 comments, updating the document to
