(includes sponsor; i.e., the DOE component), current OMB document
number (if applicable), response obligation (mandatory, voluntary, or
required to obtain or retain benefits), and type of request (new,
revision, extension, or reinstatement); (3) a description of the need
and proposed uses of the information; (4) a description of the likely
respondents; and (5) an estimate of the total annual reporting and
recordkeeping burden (number of respondents per year times the average
number of responses per respondent annually times the average burden
per response).
The energy information collections submitted to OMB for review
were:
1. Forms EIA-412, EIA-759, EIA-826, EIA-860, EIA-861, EIA-867, and
EIA-900, Electric Power Surveys.
2. Sponsor--Energy Information Administration; Docket Number--1905-
0129; Response Obligation--Mandatory; and Revision--Significant changes
in the Electric Power Surveys since the EIA requested comments earlier
this year are:
a. The filing date for the Forms EIA-412, EIA-861, and the EIA-867
will be April 30 of each year following the data reporting calendar
year.
b. Monthly reporting on the Form EIA-759, ``Monthly Power Plant
Report,'' will be required for those operating utilities having at
least one plant with a nameplate capacity of 25 megawatts or more. All
other operating utilities will file yearly data on the Form EIA-759 at
the end of each calendar year.
c. The Form EIA-861, ``Annual Electric Utility Report,'' and the
Form EIA-867, ``Annual Nonutility Power Producer Report,'' will
continue as separate surveys and will not be merged into the originally
proposed Form EIA-899.
d. Form EIA-867, ``Annual Nonutility Power Producer Report,'' data
on Schedules: I, Identification and Certification; II, Facility
Information; and III, Standard Industrial Classification Code
Designation; and VII, Notes, relating exclusively to these three
schedules, will not be considered confidential by the EIA. Data
reported on Schedules: IV.A, Facility Fuel Information; IV.B, Facility
Generation Information; V, Facility Environmental Information; VI,
Electric Generator Information; and VII, Notes, relating exclusively to
these three schedules will continue to be held as confidential by the
EIA.
e. New Form EIA-900, ``Monthly Nonutility Sales for Resale
Report,'' will be required only from facilities with a nameplate
capacity of 50 megawatts or more. The survey will collect one item on
sales of electricity for resale and all data collected will be
considered confidential by the EIA.
3. The Electric Power Surveys will collect information on capacity,
generation, fuel receipts, consumption, fuel stocks, fuel prices,
electric rates, construction costs, operating income, and revenues of
electricity companies. Respondents include both electric utilities and
nonutility electric power producers. Data are used for publication and
analysis in both the public and private sectors.
4. State or local governments; businesses or others for profit; and
Federal agencies or employees.
5. 66,512 total annual burden hours (7,944 respondents x 2.24
responses per respondent per year x 3.739 hours per response).
