SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the extended collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology.
This information collection request contains:
(1) OMB No.: 1910-5179;
(2) Information Collection Request Titled: Energy and Jobs Survey;
(3) Type of Review: Revision;
(4) Purpose: The nature of energy production, distribution, and
consumption throughout the U.S. economy has dramatic impacts on job
creation and economic competitiveness, but it is inadequately
understood and incompletely measured by traditional labor market tools.
The U.S. Energy and Employment Report collects data from relevant
industries and quantifies employment in energy activities with data on
workforce demographics and employer perceptions by geography. This data
is used to generate an annual U.S. Energy and Employment Report as
instructed by Congress in 42 U.S.C. 18841. This revision to data
collection will streamline questions to reduce respondent burden,
collect data on priority topics such as the usage of Artificial
Intelligence (AI) in the energy sector, and will promote technology
neutrality throughout the survey.
(5) Annual Estimated Number of Respondents: 45,406;
(6) Annual Estimated Number of Total Responses: 45,406;
(7) Annual Estimated Number of Burden Hours: 8,742;
(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Cost Burden:
$456,070.
Statutory Authority: 42 U.S.C. 18841.
