DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Agency Information Collection Proposed Extension
AGENCY: Energy Information Administration (EIA), Department of Energy
(DOE).
ACTION: Notice and request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EIA invites public comment on the proposed three-year
extension, with change, of Form EIA-111 Quarterly Electricity Imports
and Exports Report, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
Form EIA-111 collects information on U.S. imports and exports of
electricity. Data are used to obtain estimates on the flows of
electricity into and out of the United States.
DATES: EIA must receive all comments on this proposed information
collection no later than February 20, 2024. If you anticipate
difficulty in submitting comments within that period, contact the
person listed in ADDRESSES as soon as possible.
ADDRESSES: Written comments may only be sent electronically by email to
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#e3a6aaa2d2d2d2a3868a82cd848c95"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="27626e6616161667424e4609404851">[email protected]</span></a>.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Glenn McGrath at (202) 586-4325 or by
email at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#62050e070c0c4c0f01051003160a22070b034c050d14"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="e48388818a8aca8987839685908ca4818d85ca838b92">[email protected]</span></a>. The form and instructions are available
at <a href="http://www.eia.gov/survey/changes/electricity/">http://www.eia.gov/survey/changes/electricity/</a>.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This information collection request
contains:
(1) OMB No.: 1905-0208;
(2) Information Collection Request Title: Quarterly Electricity
Imports and Exports Report;
(3) Type of Request: Three-year extension with change;
(4) Purpose: Form EIA-111 collects U.S. electricity import and
export data on a quarterly basis. The data are used to measure the flow
of electricity into and out of the United States. The import and export
data are reported by U.S. purchasers, sellers and transmitters of
wholesale electricity, including persons authorized by Order to export
electric energy from the United States to foreign countries, persons
authorized by Presidential Permit to construct, operate, maintain, or
connect electric power transmission lines that cross the U.S.
international border, and U.S. Balancing Authorities that are directly
interconnected with foreign Balancing Authorities. Such entities report
monthly flows of electric energy received or delivered across the
border, the cost associated with the transactions, and actual and
implemented interchange.
(4a) Proposed Changes to Information Collection: There is a
reduction in the number of survey respondents required to file EIA-111
reports. This reduces the annual estimated responses and associated
burden hours. There is no change to the content collected on the EIA-
111.
(5) Annual Estimated Number of Respondents: 153;
(6) Annual Estimated Number of Total Responses: 612;
(7) Annual Estimated Number of Burden Hours: 918;
(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Cost Burden:
$80,196.48 (918 burden hours times $87.36 per hour). EIA estimates that
respondents will have no additional costs associated with the surveys
other than the burden hours and maintenance of the information as part
of the normal course of business.
Comments are invited on whether or not: (a) The proposed collection
of information is necessary for the proper performance of agency
functions, including whether the information will have a practical
utility; (b) EIA's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions
used, is accurate; (c) EIA can improve the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information it will collect; and (d) EIA can minimize
the burden of the collection of information on respondents, such as
automated collection techniques or other forms of information
technology.
Statutory Authority: 15 U.S.C. 772(b) and 42 U.S.C. 7101 et seq.
