alternative transportation fuel (ATF) 

consumed in the previous calendar year. 

Form EIA–886 data are collected from 

suppliers and users of AFVs. EIA uses 

data from these groups as a basis for 

estimating total AFV and ATF use in the 

U.S. These data are needed by Federal 

and State agencies, fuel suppliers, 

transit agencies and other fleets to 

determine if sufficient quantities of 

AFVs are available for purchase and to 

provide Congress with a measure of the 

extent to which the objectives of the 

Energy Policy Act of 1992 are being 

achieved. These data serve as market 

analysis tools for Congress, Federal/

State agencies, AFV suppliers, vehicle 

fleet managers, and other interested 

organizations and persons. These data 

are also needed to satisfy numerous 

public requests for detailed information 

on AFVs and ATFs (in particular, the 

number of AFVs distributed by State, as 

well as the amount and location of the 

ATFs being consumed). 

EIA publishes summary information 

from the Form EIA–886 database in an 

annual report on EIA’s Web site 

(www.eia.gov). This report covers 

historical and projected supplies of 

AFVs, AFV usage by selected user 

groups, and estimates of total U.S. AFV 

counts and U.S. consumption of ATFs. 

These data provide baseline inputs for 

DOE’s transportation sector energy 

models. They also provide the energy 

consumption measures for alternative 

transportation fuels in EIA’s State 

Energy Data System. For example, EIA’s 

National Energy Modeling System 

(NEMS) has a component model that 

forecasts transportation sector energy 

consumption and provides a framework 

for AFV policy and technology analysis. 

The data obtained from Form EIA–886 

are used to improve the explanatory 

power of the NEMS Transportation 

Demand Model by allowing for greater 

detail in representing AFV types and 

characteristics; 

(5) Annual Estimated Number of 

Total Responses: 2,050; 

(6) Annual Estimated Number of 

Burden Hours: 7,815; 

AFV Suppliers (30 Original 

Equipment Manufacturers): 2.5 hours; 

AFV Suppliers (20 Aftermarket 

Vehicle Converters): 2 hours; 

AFV Users (100 complex fleets): 20 

hours; 

AFV Users (1,900 simple fleets): 3 

hours; 

(7) Annual Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Cost Burden: EIA 

estimates that there are no capital and 

start-up costs associated with this data 

collection. The information is 

maintained in the normal course of 

business. The cost of burden hours to 

the respondents is estimated to be 

$562,446 (7,815 burden hours times 

$71.97 per hour). Therefore, other than 

the cost of burden hours, EIA estimates 

that there are no additional costs for 

generating, maintaining and providing 

the information. 

Statutory Authority: The legal 

authority for this data collection effort is 

provided by the following provisions: 

Section 13(b) of the Federal Energy 

Administration Act of 1974, Public Law 

93–275, (FEA Act), and codified at 15 

U.S.C. 772 (b), and Section 503(b)(2) of 

the Energy Policy Act of 1992, Public 

Law 102–486 (EPACT92) codified at 42 

U.S.C. 13253.
