[[Page 85883]]
(2) Information Collection Request Titled: United States Energy and
Employment Report;
(3) Type of Review: Revision;
(4) Purpose: The rapidly changing nature of energy production,
distribution, and consumption throughout the U.S. economy is having a
dramatic impact on job creation and economic competitiveness, but is
inadequately understood and, in some cases, incompletely measured by
traditional labor market tools. The U.S. Energy and Employment Report
Survey collects data from in-scope industries and then quantifies and
qualifies employment energy activities, workforce demographics and the
industry's perception on the difficulty of recruiting qualified
workers. The data is used to generate an annual U.S. Energy and
Employment Report. This revision to the data collection will provide
more targeted insight on the construction sector for energy
manufacturing and infrastructure as well as Puerto Rico and the U.S.
Virgin Islands.
(5) Annual Estimated Number of Respondents: 37,500;
(6) Annual Estimated Number of Total Responses: 37,500;
(7) Annual Estimated Number of Burden Hours: 8,736;
(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Cost Burden:
$358,438.00.
Statutory Authority: Sec. 301 of the Department of Energy
Organization Act (42 U.S.C. 7151); sec. 5 of the Federal Energy
Administration Act of 1974 (15 U.S.C. 764); and sec. 103 of the Energy
Reorganization Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5813).
