SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

II. Current Actions 

III. Request for Comments 

I. Background 

The Federal Energy Administration 

Act of 1974 (Pub. L. 93–275, 15 U.S.C. 

761 et seq.) and the DOE Organization 

Act (Pub. L. 95–91, 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 (Pub. L. 104–13, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et 

seq.), provides the general public and 

other Federal agencies with 

opportunities to comment on collections 

of energy information conducted by or 

in conjunction with the EIA. Any 

comments received help the EIA to 

prepare data requests that maximize the 

utility of the information collected, and 

to assess the impact of collection 

requirements on the public. Also, the 

EIA will later seek approval by the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) under section 3507(a) of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. 

On September 11, 1993, the President 

signed Executive Order No. 12862 

aimed at ‘‘ensuring [] the Federal 

Government provides the highest 

quality service possible to the American 

people.’’ The Order discusses surveys as 

a means for determining the kinds and 

qualities of service desired by Federal 

Government customers and for 


pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
19548 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 81 / Wednesday, April 29, 2009 / Notices 

determining satisfaction levels for 

existing services. These voluntary 

customer surveys will be used to 

ascertain customer satisfaction with the 

Department of Energy in terms of 

services and products. Respondents will 

be individuals and organizations that 

are the recipients of the Department’s 

services and products. Previous 

customer surveys have provided useful 

information to the Department for 

assessing how well the Department is 

delivering its services and products and 

for making improvements. The results 

are used internally and summaries are 

provided to the Office of Management 

and Budget on an annual basis, and are 

used to satisfy the requirements and the 

spirit of Executive Order No. 12862. 

II. Current Actions 

The request to OMB will be for a 

three-year extension of the expiration 

date of approval for the Form DOE–887 

‘‘DOE Customer Surveys.’’ Examples of 

previously conducted customer surveys 

are available upon request. Planned 

activities in the next three years reflect 

an increased emphasis on and 

expansion of these activities, including 

an increased use of Web-based and 

electronic means for obtaining customer 

input. 

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 comments. 

As a Potential Respondent to the 

Request for Information: 

A. Is the proposed collection of 

information necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency and does the information have 

practical utility? 

B. What actions could be taken to 

help ensure and maximize the quality, 

objectivity, utility, and integrity of the 

information to be collected? 

C. Are the instructions and definitions 

clear and sufficient? If not, which 

instructions need clarification? 

D. Can the information be submitted 

by the respondent by the due date? 

E. Public reporting burden for this 

collection is estimated to average .25 

hours per response. The estimated 

burden includes the total time necessary 

to provide the requested information. In 

your opinion, how accurate is this 

estimate? 

F. The agency estimates that the only 

cost to a respondent is for the time it 

will take to complete the collection. 

Will a respondent incur any start-up 

costs for reporting, or any recurring 

annual costs for operation, maintenance, 

and purchase of services associated with 

the information collection? 

G. What additional actions could be 

taken to minimize the burden of this 

collection of information? Such actions 

may involve the use of automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

H. Does any other Federal, State, or 

local agency collect similar information? 

If so, specify the agency, the data 

element(s), and the methods of 

collection. 

As a Potential User of the Information 

to be Collected: 

A. Is the proposed collection of 

information necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency and does the information have 

practical utility? 

B. What actions could be taken to 

help ensure and maximize the quality, 

objectivity, utility, and integrity of the 

information disseminated? 

C. Is the information useful at the 

levels of detail to be collected? 

D. For what purpose(s) would the 

information be used? Be specific. 

E. Are there alternate sources for the 

information and are they useful? If so, 

what are their weaknesses 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.
