DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Agency Information Collection 

Extension 

AGENCY: Office of Electricity Delivery 

and Energy Reliability (OE), Department 

of Energy. 

ACTION: Notice and Request for OMB 

Review and Comment. 

SUMMARY: The Office of Electricity 

Delivery and Energy Reliability has 

submitted an information collection 

request to the OMB for extension under 

the provisions of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995. The information 

collection requests a three-year 

extension of its Department of Energy 

Form OE–417, ‘‘Emergency Electric 

Incident and Disturbance Report’’, OMB 

Control Number 1901–0288. The 

proposed collection will be used by 

DOE to meet its overall national security 

and Department of Homeland Security’s 

National Response Framework 

responsibilities. DOE will use the data 

from this form to obtain current 

information regarding emergency 

situations on U.S. electric energy supply 

systems. The data also may be used to 

develop legislative recommendations, 

reports to the Congress and as a basis for 

DOE investigations following severe, 

prolonged, or repeated electric power 

reliability problems. 

DATES: Comments regarding this 

proposed information collection must 

be received on or before January 30, 

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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Requests for additional information or

Manager, The Office of Electricity 

Delivery and Energy Reliability, OE–40,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

information collection request contains: 

(1) OMB No. 1901–0288; (2) Information 

Collection Request Title: Emergency 

Electric Incident and Disturbance 

Report; (3) Three-year extension; (4) 

Purpose: The Federal Energy 

Administration Act of 1974 (Public Law 

93–275, 15 U.S.C. 761 et seq.) and the 

DOE Organization Act (Public Law 95– 

91, 42 U.S.C. 7101 et seq.) requires the 

DOE to carry out a centralized, 

comprehensive, and unified energy 

information program. This program 

collects, analyzes, and disseminates 

information on energy resource reserves, 

production, demand, technology, and 

related economic and statistical 

information. This information is used to 

assess the adequacy of energy resources 

to meet near and longer-term domestic 

demands. 

Currently, OE uses Form OE–417 to 

monitor major system incidents on the 

electric power systems, assess power 

generating capacity in the event of a 

significant disruption, and to conduct 

after-action non-regulatory 

investigations on significant 

interruptions of electric power. The 

information is used to meet DOE 

national-security responsibilities and 

requirements as set forth in the U.S. 

Department of Homeland Security’s 

National Response Framework. The 

information may also be used in 

developing legislative 

recommendations/reports to Congress 

and coordinating Federal efforts 

regarding activities such as incidents/

disturbances in critical infrastructure 

protection, the continuity of electric 

industry operations, and the continuity 

of operations. The information 

submitted may also be used by OE to 

analyze significant power interruptions 

of electric power from a non-regulatory 

perspective. 

Based upon feedback received from 

the 60-Day Federal Register Notice, OE 

does not intend to proceed with 

protecting Schedule 2 of Form OE–417 

under the Confidential Information 

Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act 

of 2002. Instead, OE proposes to 

maintain the current data protections of 

the form. 

(5) Annual Estimated Number of 

Respondents: 2,924; 

(6) Annual Estimated Number of Total 

Responses: 300; 

(7) Annual Estimated Number of 

Burden Hours: 5061 hours; 

(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Cost Burden: $0. There 

are no additional costs to respondents 

associated with the survey other than 

the costs associated with the burden 

hours. 

Statutory Authority: Section 13(b) of the 

Federal Energy Administration Act of 1974, 

Pub. L. 93–275, codified at 15 U.S.C. 772(b). 

Issued in Washington, DC, on December 

22, 2014. 

Patricia Hoffman, 

Assistant Secretary, Office of Electricity 

Delivery and Energy Reliability, U. S. 

Department of Energy .
