Proposed Information Collection Request; Comment Request; National Volatile Organic Compound Emission Standards for Automobile Refinish Coatings, 31629-31630 [2016-11839]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 97 / Thursday, May 19, 2016 / Notices operations, and expanding the use of demand response, storage, and electric vehicles in electric system operations. (4a) Proposed Changes: EIA proposes to: • Change the amount of time within which the respondents must report. Currently respondents must submit their data within 60 minutes of the end of the data hour. The proposal is to change that to within 30 minutes of the end of the data hour. This change would be consistent with the observed reporting capabilities of the respondents. • Require respondents to report hourly sub-regional actual demand when these values are produced in the normal course of business within a month of the operating day. • Require respondents to report hourly net generation by standard fuel type categories. Also, EIA requests comments on whether it should continue its current policy of limited withholding of small Balancing Authority data for two days. (5) Estimated Number of Survey Respondents: The annual estimated number of respondents is 66. (6) Annual Estimated Number of Total Responses: The annual estimated number of total responses is 24,090. (7) Annual Estimated Number of Burden Hours: The annual estimated burden is 3,960 hours, which represents an increase of 1,618 burden hours from the prior renewal of this collection. The increase in burden is due to the expansion of the form to collect net generation by standard fuel type. (8) Annual Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Cost Burden: Additional costs to respondents are not anticipated beyond costs associated with response burden. The information is maintained in the normal course of business. The cost of burden hours to the respondents is estimated to be $285,199 (3,960 burden hours times $72.02 per hour). Therefore, other than the cost of burden hours, EIA estimates that there are no additional costs for generating, maintaining and providing the information. mstockstill on DSK3G9T082PROD with NOTICES Statutory Authority: Section 13(b) of the Federal Energy Administration Act of 1974, Pub.
