meeting will take place on March 24, 

2022, at a time specified in the meeting 

agenda. This public comment period is 

designed only for substantive 

commentary on PCAST’s work, not for

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Energy Information Administration 

Agency Information Collection 

Extension With Changes 

AGENCY: U.S. Energy Information 

Administration (EIA), Department of 

Energy (DOE). 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: EIA invites public comment 

on the proposed three year extension, 

with changes, to Form EIA–846 

Manufacturing Energy Consumption 

Survey Report as required under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The 

report is part of EIA’s comprehensive 

energy data program. Form EIA–846 

Manufacturing Energy Consumption 

Survey Report (Quadrennial) collects 

information on energy consumption, 

expenditures, and building 

characteristics from establishments in 

the manufacturing sector. 

DATES: EIA must receive all comments 

on this proposed information collection 

no later than May 2, 2022. If you 

anticipate any difficulties in submitting 

your comments by the deadline, contact 

the person listed in the ADDRESSES

section of this notice as soon as 

possible. 

ADDRESSES: Mail comments to Tom 

Lorenz, U.S Energy Information 

Administration, EI–22, 1000 

Independence Avenue SW, Washington, 

DC 20585. Submit comments 

electronically to Thomas.Lorenz@

eia.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tom 

Lorenz by phone at (202) 586–3442, or 

by email at Thomas.Lorenz@eia.gov. 

The forms and instructions of EIA–846 

Manufacturing Energy Consumption 

Survey are available on EIA’s website at 

www.eia.gov/survey/. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Comments 

are invited whether or not: (a) The 

proposed collection of information is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

agency functions, including whether the 

information will have a practical utility; 

(b) EIA’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used, is 

accurate; (c) EIA can improve the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information it will collect; and (d) EIA 

can minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, such as automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. 

This information collection request 

contains: 

(1) OMB No.: 1905–0169; 

(2) Information Collection Request 

Title: Manufacturing Energy 

Consumption Survey (MECS); 

(3) Type of Request: Extension with 

changes; 

(4) Purpose: Form EIA–846, is a selfadministered sample survey that 

collects energy consumption and 

expenditures data from establishments 

in the manufacturing sector; i.e., North 

American Industry Classification 

System (NAICS) sector codes 31–33. 

The information from this survey is 

used to publish aggregate statistics on 

the energy consumption of the 

manufacturing sector including energy 

used for fuel and nonfuel purposes. The 

survey also gathers information on 

energy-related issues such as energy 

prices, on-site electricity generation, 

purchases of electricity from utilities 

and non-utilities, and fuel switching 

capabilities. MECS is also used to 

benchmark EIA’s industry forecasting 

model and update changes in the energy 

intensity and greenhouse gases data 

series. 

(4a) Proposed Changes to Information 

Collection: EIA proposes adding a few 

questions to the Energy Management 

section of Form EIA–846 requesting 

information on an establishment’s 

average processing temperatures and the 

range of these temperatures across 

different processes within the 

establishment. The purpose of these 

questions is to assist in the 

measurement of energy efficiency and 

better understand its relation to the use 

of process heat across manufacturing 

industries, consistent with the 

Bipartisan Infrastructure Law 

(Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act). 

In addition, EIA proposes adding a 

few follow up questions to the 

Electricity: Generated Onsite section of 

Form EIA–846. The electricity generated 

onsite questions on Form EIA–846 

request information about renewable 

energy sources, such as solar, wind, and 

geothermal, used to generate electricity 

onsite. The follow up questions EIA 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
12164 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 42 / Thursday, March 3, 2022 / Notices 

proposes to Form EIA–846 would 

request information about the use of 

electricity generated from renewable 

energy sources that may be shared 

across more than one establishment. 

The purpose of these questions is to 

better understanding the technology, 

equipment, and infrastructure that may 

be shared among manufacturing 

establishments. This change is 

consistent with the Bipartisan 

Infrastructure Law (Infrastructure 

Investment and Jobs Act). 

EIA proposes adding these questions 

to the Form EIA–846; however cognitive 

testing on the questions will need to be 

conducted and question language may 

need to be adjusted for clarity. 

(5) Annual Estimated Number of 

Respondents: 15,000; 

(6) Annual Estimated Number of 

Total Responses: 3,750; 

(7) Annual Estimated Number of 

Burden Hours: 34,565; 

(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Cost Burden: $2,882,030 

(34,565 annual burden hours multiplied 

by $83.38 per burden hour). EIA 

estimates that respondents will have no 

additional costs associated with the 

surveys other than burden hours; 

Statutory Authority: 15 U.S.C. 772(b) 

and 42 U.S.C. 7101 et seq.
