Can Receive Power.’’ This will allow the
DOE to know when all customers
affected by the incident will have their
power restored.
In Schedule 1, line 12 asked for the
‘‘Estimated Date/Time of Restoration.’’
That line has been taken off of the form,
but an inquiry about the estimated
restoration time has been added into
Schedule 2 to be considered protected
information.
Line 9 of Schedule 1 which asked for
a ‘‘Teleconference Number’’ has been
deleted from the form. This line will not
appear in the contact information lines
which were moved to Schedule 2,
discussed above.
The data will continue to be filed
with the DOE’s Emergency Operations
Center. This DOE facility operates 24
hours daily, 7 days a week. Electronic
submission is the preferred method of
notification. Fax and telephone contact
are also accepted. However, optional
filing modes are being considered. The
DOE is investigating an online
submission process whereby the OE–
417 form could be filled via a secure
internet data collection system. This
system would allow companies to
submit forms directly to the DOE
without having to e-mail or fax
completed forms into the DOE
Emergency Operations Center.

collection is estimated to average 10
minutes for the Emergency Incident
Report (Schedule 1, Part A) that is to be
filed within 1 hour; the overall public
reporting burden for the form is
estimated at 2 hours to cover any
detailed reporting in the Normal/Update
Report (Schedule 1, Part B and Schedule
2) which is filed later (up to 48 hours),
if required. The estimated burden
includes the total time necessary to
provide the requested information. In
your opinion, how accurate is this
estimate?
E. The agency estimates that the only
cost to a respondent is for the time it
will take to complete the collection.

III. Request for Comments
I. Background
The Federal Energy Administration
Act of 1974 (Pub. L. No. 93–275, 15
U.S.C. 761 et seq.) and the DOE
Organization Act (Pub. L. No. 95–91, 42
U.S.C. 7101 et seq.) require the EIA to
carry out a centralized, comprehensive,
and unified energy information
program. This program collects,
evaluates, assembles, analyzes, and

24MRN1
mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
15500
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 57 / Monday, March 24, 2008 / Notices
disseminates information on energy
resource reserves, production, demand,
technology, and related economic and
statistical information. This information
is used to assess the adequacy of energy
resources to meet near and longer term
domestic demands.
The EIA, as part of its effort to comply
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (Pub. L. 104–13, 44 U.S.C. Chapter
35), provides the general public and
other Federal agencies with
opportunities to comment on collections
of energy information conducted by or
in conjunction with the EIA. Any
comments received help the EIA to
prepare data requests that maximize the
utility of the information collected, and
to assess the impact of collection
requirements on the public. Also, the
EIA will later seek approval of this
collection of information by the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB)
under Section 3507(a) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995.
Form EIA–882T is a generic clearance,
which is a plan for conducting one or
more customer surveys. A generic
clearance is considered by DOE only
when DOE is able to demonstrate that
there is a need for multiple, similar
collections, but that the specifics of each
collection cannot be determined until
shortly before the data are to be
collected. Form EIA–882T is used to
conduct various projects, including
pretest/pilot surveys (in-person
interviews, telephone interviews, mail
questionnaires, and electronic reporting
options), focus groups, and cognitive
interviews. The information collections
that would be conducted as part of this
approval will facilitate EIA’s use of
techniques to improve our current
information collections and to develop
new collections. Other goals are to
reduce respondent burden and improve
the quality of the information collected.
The number and type of respondents
varies depending upon the activities
being conducted. Form EIA–882T was
last extended for three years on August
17, 2005, and expires August 31, 2008.
The information collections will
include:
1. Pretests. Pretest methods will
include face-to-face interviews,
telephone interviews, mail
questionnaires, and electronic
questionnaires. Pretests conducted will
generally be methodological studies of
limited size, normally involving either
purposive or statistically representative
samples. They will include a variety of
surveys, the exact nature and sample
designs will be determined at the time
of development of the pretests. The
samples will be designed to clarify
particular issues rather than to be
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:33 Mar 21, 2008
Jkt 214001
representative of the universe of
interest. Collection may be on the basis
of convenience, e.g., limited to specific
geographic locations. The needs of a
particular sample will vary based on the
content of the information collection
being tested, but the selection of sample
cases will be made using sound
statistical procedures.
2. Pilot surveys. Pilot surveys will
generally be methodological studies of
limited size, but will always employ
statistically representative samples. The
pilot surveys will replicate components
of the methodological design, sampling
procedures (where possible), and
questionnaires of a full-scale survey.
Pilot surveys may be utilized when EIA
is undertaking a complete revamping of
a survey methodology (e.g., moving to
computer-assisted information
collections) or when EIA is undertaking
a new information collection.
3. Focus groups. Focus groups involve
group sessions guided by a monitor who
follows a topical outline containing
questions or topics focused on a
particular issue, rather than adhering to
a standardized questionnaire. Focus
groups are useful for surfacing and
exploring issues. Focus groups are
typically used with specific groups of
stakeholders.
4. Cognitive interviews. Cognitive
interviews are one-on-one interviews in
which a respondent is typically asked to
‘‘think aloud’’ as he or she answers
survey questions, reads survey
materials, or completes other activities
as part of a survey process. A number
of different techniques may be involved,
including asking respondents to
paraphrase questions, probing questions
to determine how respondents come up
with their answers, and similar
inquiries. The objective is to identify
problems of ambiguity,
misunderstanding, or other difficulties
respondents have answering questions.
This may be used as the first stage of
questionnaire development.
A wide variety of uses are made of the
data obtained through this generic
clearance. These projects represent
significant strides in our efforts to
improve the pretesting of EIA surveys.
As EIA gains more experience, we are
broadening our involvement in testing,
evaluation, and research, including
working with staff at the National
Science Foundation.
II. Current Actions
EIA plans to request a three-year
extension of the OMB approval for this
collection. No changes are being
proposed to the types of surveys being
conducted under the generic clearance.
For each information collection that EIA
PO 00000
Frm 00028
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
proposes to undertake under this
generic clearance, OMB will be notified
at least two weeks in advance, and
provided with an information copy of
the collection instrument and all other
materials describing the testing activity.
EIA will only undertake a collection if
OMB does not object to EIA’s proposal.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
II. Current Actions
III. Request for Comments
I. Background
The Federal Energy Administration Act of 1974 (Pub. L. No. 93-275,
15 U.S.C. 761 et seq.) and the DOE Organization Act (Pub. L. No. 95-91,
42 U.S.C. 7101 et seq.) require the EIA to carry out a centralized,
comprehensive, and unified energy information program. This program
collects, evaluates, assembles, analyzes, and
[[Page 15500]]
disseminates information on energy resource reserves, production,
demand, technology, and related economic and statistical information.
This information is used to assess the adequacy of energy resources to
meet near and longer term domestic demands.
The EIA, as part of its effort to comply with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), provides
the general public and other Federal agencies with opportunities to
comment on collections of energy information conducted by or in
conjunction with the EIA. Any comments received help the EIA to prepare
data requests that maximize the utility of the information collected,
and to assess the impact of collection requirements on the public.
Also, the EIA will later seek approval of this collection of
information by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under Section
3507(a) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
Form EIA-882T is a generic clearance, which is a plan for
conducting one or more customer surveys. A generic clearance is
considered by DOE only when DOE is able to demonstrate that there is a
need for multiple, similar collections, but that the specifics of each
collection cannot be determined until shortly before the data are to be
collected. Form EIA-882T is used to conduct various projects, including
pretest/pilot surveys (in-person interviews, telephone interviews, mail
questionnaires, and electronic reporting options), focus groups, and
cognitive interviews. The information collections that would be
conducted as part of this approval will facilitate EIA's use of
techniques to improve our current information collections and to
develop new collections. Other goals are to reduce respondent burden
and improve the quality of the information collected. The number and
type of respondents varies depending upon the activities being
conducted. Form EIA-882T was last extended for three years on August
17, 2005, and expires August 31, 2008.
The information collections will include:
1. Pretests. Pretest methods will include face-to-face interviews,
telephone interviews, mail questionnaires, and electronic
questionnaires. Pretests conducted will generally be methodological
studies of limited size, normally involving either purposive or
statistically representative samples. They will include a variety of

e.g., limited to specific geographic locations. The needs of a
particular sample will vary based on the content of the information
collection being tested, but the selection of sample cases will be made

II. Current Actions
EIA plans to request a three-year extension of the OMB approval for
this collection. No changes are being proposed to the types of surveys
being conducted under the generic clearance. For each information
collection that EIA proposes to undertake under this generic clearance,
OMB will be notified at least two weeks in advance, and provided with
an information copy of the collection instrument and all other
materials describing the testing activity. EIA will only undertake a
collection if OMB does not object to EIA's proposal.
