Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 92 / Wednesday, May 13, 2015 / Notices 27299 

is described below. The Department of 

Education is especially interested in 

public comment addressing the 

following issues: (1) Is this collection 

necessary to the proper functions of the 

Department; (2) will this information be 

processed and used in a timely manner; 

(3) is the estimate of burden accurate; 

(4) how might the Department enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (5) how 

might the Department minimize the 

burden of this collection on the 

respondents, including through the use 

of information technology. Please note 

that written comments received in 

response to this notice will be 

considered public records. 

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.

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.)

Therefore, other than the cost of burden 

hours, EIA estimates that there are no 

additional costs for generating, 

maintaining and providing the 

information.

statement as well as the proposed forms
