Title of Collection: Gainful Employment Recent Graduates Employment and Earning Survey Pilot
Test.

OMB Control Number: 1845—NEW. Type of Review: A new information collection.

Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households.

Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 2,040.

Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 170.

Abstract: The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) of the U.S. Department of Education (ED) is required by regulation to develop an earnings survey to support gainful employment program evaluations (see 34 CFR 668.406 as specified in final regulations published in the Federal Register in October 2014). NCES is responsible for developing the survey and the technical standards to which programs must adhere in its administration. The regulations specify that the Secretary of Education will publish in the Federal Register a pilottested earnings survey and the standards required for its administration. The draft standards are being published for public comment in a separate announcement. This request is to conduct a pilot test of the Recent Graduates Employment and Earnings Survey (RGEES). The RGEES pilot test will measure unit response rates and enable comparisons to earnings data collected through other surveys and in administrative records. The pilot study results will be used to compare median earnings collected through the survey to median earnings for graduates from comparable programs based on a match to the Social Security Administration as part of the 2012 gainful employment informational rates. Dated: May 11, 2015. Stephanie Valentine, Acting Director, Information Collection Clearance Division, Office of the Chief Privacy Officer, Office of Management.

**DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY**

**Energy Information Administration**

**Proposed Agency Information Collection** 

**AGENCY :**  U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).

**ACTION :**  Notice and request for OMB review and comment.

**SUMMARY :**  EIA has submitted the Forms EIA–457A, C, D, E, F and G, ‘‘2015 Residential Energy Consumption Survey’’ to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and reinstatement under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The proposed collection is a periodic series of surveys of households and their energy suppliers with the purpose of collecting and reporting energy characteristics, consumption, and expenditures data of homes in the United States.

**DATES :**  Comments regarding this proposed information collection must be received on or before June 12, 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.

**ADDRESSES :**  Written comments should be sent to the: DOE Desk Officer, Office of Information

and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, New Executive Office Building, Room 10102, 735 17th Street NW., Washington, DC 20503.
And to James Berry, Survey Manager, EI–22,

Forrestal Building, U.S. Department of Energy, Washington, DC 20585, or by email at james.berry@eia.gov. Alternatively, Mr. Berry may be contacted by telephone at (202) 586–
5543.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Requests for additional information or copies of the forms and instructions should be directed to Mr. Berry at the contact information given above. To view the forms online please go to: http://www.eia.gov/survey/#eia-457.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  This information collection request contains:

(1) OMB No. 1905–0092. (2) Information Collection Request Title: EIA–457A C, D, E, F, G, ‘‘Residential Energy Consumption Survey’’.

(3) Type of Request: Reinstatement with change of a previously approved collection for which approval has discontinued.

(4) Purpose: Need for and proposed use of the information: The RECS is used to collect data on energy characteristics, consumption, and expenditures of U.S. homes. These data collections fulfill planning, analysis and decision-making needs of DOE, other Federal agencies, State governments, and the private sector. Respondents are households of selected housing units and their energy suppliers. Response obligations are Voluntary (households) and Mandatory (energy suppliers). This will be a proposed reinstatement of a previously approved collection and three-year clearance request to OMB. The content of the 2015 RECS will be largely unchanged from the 2009 RECS. Sampling will incorporate key definitions and elements from previous RECS. Housing units will be selected via a multi-stage area probability sample design and will be statistically representative of U.S. occupied housing units, as well as selected sub-national geographies. In addition to the billing data collection for 2015 RECS housing units, EIA will also collect billing data for household records in the RECS National Pilot study. Because the National Pilot sample design is similar to the 2015 RECS, EIA expects most energy suppliers that report in the 2015 RECS will also be in the sample for the National Pilot data collection.

(5) Annual Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,351.

(6) Annual Estimated Number of Total Responses: 4,455.

(7) Annual Estimated Number of Burden Hours: 1,697.

(8) 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. For household respondents no additional record keeping or other burden is required outside the interview process. The cost of burden hours to all household, rental agent, and energy supplier respondents is estimated to be $122,133 (1,697 annual burden hours times the current hourly rate of $71.97.)


### 27300 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 92 / Wednesday, May 13, 2015 / Notices

Therefore, other than the cost of burden hours, EIA estimates that there are no additional costs for generating, maintaining and providing the information.
