SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

information collection request contains: 

(1) OMB No.: 1905–0169; 

(2) Information Collection Request 

Title: Manufacturing Energy 

Consumption Survey (MECS); 

(3) Type of Request: Reinstatement, 

with change, of a previously approved 

collection for which approval has 

expired; 

(4) Purpose: 

The Federal Energy Administration 

Act of 1974 (15 U.S.C. 761 et seq.) and 

(42 U.S.C. 7135(i)) 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 Manufacturing Energy 

Consumption Survey (MECS) is a selfadministered sample survey designed to 

collect energy consumption and 

expenditures data from establishments 

in the manufacturing sector; i.e., North 

American Industry Classification 

System (NAICS) codes 31–33. Previous 

MECS required multiple collection 

forms depending on an establishment’s 

primary business activity classification 

under NAICS. The increased use of 

technology by means of an Internet data 

collection system however, has allowed 

the MECS to eliminate the need to have 

multiple forms. 

The 2014 MECS will collect 

information during 2015 for business 

activities in calendar year 2014, and the 

2016 MECS, if implemented, will collect 

information during 2017 for business 

activities in calendar year 2016. For the 

2014 and 2016 MECS, as in the past, 

EIA proposes to collect the following 

data from each MECS establishment: (1) 

For each energy source consumed— 

consumption (total, fuel and nonfuel 

uses) and the expenditures for each 

energy source, energy storage (as 

applicable), energy produced onsite, 

and shipments (as applicable); (2) 

energy end uses; (3) fuel-switching 

capabilities (4) general energy-saving 

technologies; (5) energy management 

activities; and (6) square footage, and 

number of buildings in the 

establishment. 

The MECS has been conducted eight 

times previously, covering the years 

1985, 1988, 1991, 1994, 1998, 2002, 

2006, and 2010. In all eight survey 

years, the MECS has collected baseline 

data on manufacturers’ energy 

consumption and expenditures. The 

MECS collected data on fuel-switching 

capabilities in all years except 1998. In 

the 1991, 1994, 1998, 2002, 2006, and 

2010 surveys, the MECS also collected 

data on end-uses, energy management 

activities, building square footage, and 

energy-saving technologies. 

The MECS information is the basis for 

data and analytic products that can be 

found at http://www.eia.gov/

consumption/manufacturing. Also on 

this Web site are past publications, 

articles, and a special analytic series, 

‘‘Industry Analysis Briefs.’’ The 2014 

and 2016 MECS will also be used to 

benchmark EIA’s industry forecasting 

model and update changes in the energy 

intensity and greenhouse gases data 

series. 

The proposed 2014 and 2016 MECS 

uses experience gained from the 

administration and processing of the 

seven previous surveys and past 

consultations with respondents, trade 

association representatives, and data 

users to improve the survey. 

Please refer to the forms and 

instructions for more information about 

the purpose, who must report, when to 

report, where to submit, the elements to 

be reported, detailed instructions, 

provisions for confidentiality, and uses 

of the information. For instructions on 

obtaining materials, see the ‘‘For Further 

Information Contact’’ section; 

(4a) Proposed Changes to Information 

Collection: 

EIA proposes making several changes 

from the 2010 MECS for use in the 2014 

and 2016 MECS. The first substantial 

change for the 2014 and 2016 MECS is 

shortening the collection time frame. 

The past MECS cycles, going back to 

1988, have been quadrennial surveys; 

however with the increased importance 

of relevant energy data, EIA is proposing 

to shorten the collection time frame 

from a quadrennial to a biennial survey.
