proposed collection will support a study
on how consumers value vehicle fuel
economy, compare the current results
with those from a similar study
conducted in 2003 (published in 2007),
and estimate distributions of these
valuation processes across the national
population of car-owning and carleasing households. The data derived
from this study will be used to provide
consumers with information that will
help them value increased fuel economy
as a means of reducing petroleum
consumption, saving money on fuel,
and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
DATES: Comments regarding this
collection must be received on or before
February 26, 2015. If you anticipate that
you will be submitting comments, but
find it difficult to do so within the
period of time allowed by this notice,
please advise the DOE Desk Officer at
OMB of your intention to make a
submission as soon as possible. The
Desk Officer may be telephoned at 202–
395–4718.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should
be sent to the DOE Desk Officer, Office
of Information and Regulatory Affairs,

On January 12, 2015, DOE received an
application from Chubu TT for authority
to transmit electric energy from the
United States to Canada for five years
using existing international
transmission facilities. Chubu TT is in

obtain any and all of the required
regulatory approvals in order to effect
any power exports.
The electric energy that Chubu TT
proposes to export to Canada would be
surplus energy purchased from electric
utilities and other entities within the
United States. The existing international
transmission facilities to be utilized by
Chubu TT have previously been
authorized by Presidential permits
issued pursuant to Executive Order
10485, as amended, and are appropriate
for open access transmission by third
parties.
Procedural Matters: Any person
desiring to be heard in this proceeding
