III. Request for Comments

Prospective respondents and other

interested parties should comment on

the actions discussed in Item II. The

following guidelines are provided to

assist in the preparation of responses.

Please indicate to which form(s) your

comments apply.

General Issues

A. Is the proposed collection of

information necessary for the proper

performance of the functions of the

agency? Does the information have

practical utility. Practical utility is

defined as the actual usefulness of

information to or for an agency, taking

into account its accuracy, adequacy,

reliability, timeliness, and the agency’s

ability to process the information it

collects.

B. What enhancements can EIA make

to the quality, utility, and clarity of the

information to be collected?

As a Potential Respondent

A. Are the instructions and

definitions clear and sufficient? If not,

which instructions require clarification?

B. Can data be submitted by the due

date specified in the instructions?

C. Public reporting burden for this

collection is estimated to average 40

hours per respondent on Form NWPA–

830G and Annex A; and 5 hours of

reporting burden on Form NWPA–830C.

Burden includes the total time, effort, or

financial resources expended to

generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or

provide the information.

Please comment on (1) the accuracy of

our estimate and (2) how the agency

could minimize the burden of the

collection of information, including the

use of information technology.

D. EIA estimates that respondents will

incur no additional costs for reporting

other than the hours required to

complete the collection. What is the

estimated: (1) total dollar amount

annualized for capital and start-up costs

and (2) recurring annual costs of

operating and maintaining and

purchasing service costs associated with

this data collection?

E. Do you know of any other Federal,

State, or local agency that collects

similar data? If you do, specify the

agency, the data element(s), and the

methods of collection.

As a Potential User

A. Can you use data at the levels of

detail indicated on the form?

B. For what purpose would you use

the data? Be specific.

C. Are there alternate sources of data

and do you use them? If so, what are

their deficiencies and/or strengths?

Comments submitted in response to

this notice will be summarized and/or

included in the request for OMB

approval of the form. They also will

become a matter of public record.
