submit comments on or before June 8, 

2009. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) requires 

that the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) provide interested 

Federal agencies and the public an early 

opportunity to comment on information 

collection requests. OMB may amend or 

waive the requirement for public 

consultation to the extent that public 

participation in the approval process 

would defeat the purpose of the 

information collection, violate State or 

Federal law, or substantially interfere 

with any agency’s ability to perform its 

statutory obligations. The Director, 

Regulatory Information Management 

Services, Office of Management, 

publishes that notice containing 

proposed information collection 

requests prior to submission of these 

requests to OMB. Each proposed 

information collection, grouped by 

office, contains the following: (1) Type 

of review requested, e.g., new, revision, 

extension, existing or reinstatement; (2) 

Title; (3) Summary of the collection; (4) 

Description of the need for, and 

proposed use of, the information; (5) 

Respondents and frequency of 

collection; and (6) Reporting and/or 

Recordkeeping burden. OMB invites 

public comment. 

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.

Abstract: The Higher Education 

Opportunity Act of 2008 calls for annual 

reports from States and institutions of 

higher education (IHEs) on the quality 

of teacher preparation and State teacher 

certification and licensure (Pub. L. 110– 

315, sections 205–208). The purpose of 

15716 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 65 / Tuesday, April 7, 2009 / Notices 

the reports is to provide greater 

accountability in the preparation of the 

nation’s teaching forces and to provide 

information and incentives for its 

improvement. IHEs that have teacher 

preparation programs must report 

annually to their States on the 

performance of their program 

completers on teacher certification or 

licensure tests. States, in turn, must 

report test performance information, 

institution by institution, to the 

Secretary of Education. They must also 

report on their requirements for teacher 

certification and licensure, State 

standards, alternative routes to 

certification, low performing teacher 

preparation programs and related items.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

II. Current Actions 

III. Request for Comments 

I. Background 

The Federal Energy Administration 

Act of 1974 (15 U.S.C. 761 et seq.) and 

the DOE Organization Act (42 U.S.C. 

7101 et seq.) require the EIA to carry out 

a centralized, comprehensive, and 

unified energy information program. 

This program collects, evaluates, 

assembles, 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. 

The EIA, as part of its effort to comply 

with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.), provides 

the general public and other Federal 

agencies with opportunities to comment 

on collections of information conducted 

by or in conjunction with the EIA. Also, 

the EIA will later seek approval for this 

collection by the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) under Section 

3507(a) of the Paperwork Reduction Act 

of 1995. 

Under Public Law 95–91, section 

205(h), the Administrator of the EIA is 

required to ‘‘identify and designate’’ the 

major energy companies who must 

annually file Form EIA–28 to ensure 

that the data collected provide ‘‘a 

statistically accurate profile of each line 

of commerce in the energy industry in 

the United States.’’ Data collected on 

Form EIA–28 are published and used in 

analyses of the energy industry. 

U.S. major energy companies report 

financial and operating information to 

the FRS survey each year on a 

consolidated corporate level, by 

individual lines of business, by major 

functions within each line of business, 

and by various geographic regions. From 

this information, EIA produces the 

annual publication Performance Profiles 

of Major Energy Producers. The data are 

also used for analyses and inquiries 

concerning earnings, profitability, 

investments, production and refining 

costs, reserve growth, and other issues 

related to the financial performance of 

major energy producers. 

Please refer to the proposed forms and 

instructions for more information about 

the purpose, who must report, when to 

report, where to submit, the elements to 

be reported, detailed instructions, 

provisions for confidentiality, and uses 

(including possible nonstatistical uses) 

of the information. For instructions on 

obtaining materials, see the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section. 

II. Current Actions 

EIA is proposing a three-year 

extension with changes to the 

previously approved Form EIA–28 for 

the FRS survey to be conducted in 2010 

collecting information for 2009. 

EIA is proposing the following 

changes to the form: 

• Expand the balance sheet 

information requested for property, 

plant, and equipment (PP&E), and 

investments and advances to 

unconsolidated affiliates beyond 

additions to include other changes, such 

as reclassifications and impairments; 

• Reduce the scope of domestic 

information collected on the 

downstream natural gas and electric 

power operations of the major energy 

companies; 

• Recategorize some downstream 

natural gas business operations to more 

closely align the survey with industry 

practices; and 

• Add coverage of foreign operations 

for petroleum purchases and sales of 

raw materials and refined products, and 

for downstream natural gas operating 

expenses. 

Schedule 5120 ‘‘Selected 

Consolidating Balance Sheet and 

Financial Data’’ will be expanded to 

include collection of other changes to 

PP&E and investments and advances to 

unconsolidated affiliates, by line of 

business. 

Many of the questions for the 

downstream natural gas and electric 

power lines of business require detailed 

information from the operational units 

of the FRS respondent companies, and 

are more difficult to obtain. Data for 

several items are only provided by one 

or two companies. Consequently, the
