(4) Purpose:
The Federal Energy Administration
Act of 1974 (Pub. L. 93–275, 15 U.S.C.
761 et seq.) and the DOE Organization
Act (Pub. L. 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 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
3501 et seq.), 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 burden of collection
requirements on the public. The EIA
will later seek approval by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) under
Section 3507(a) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995.
Form EIA–851A collects annual data
