FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Requests for additional information or
copies of the information collection
instrument and instructions should be
directed to Cynthia Sirk by phone at
(202) 586–1658, or by email at
cynthia.sirk@eia.gov. Access to the
proposed form, instructions, and
internet data collection screens can be
found at: https://www.eia.gov/survey/
form/eia_886/proposed/2018/form.pdf.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Comments
are invited on: (a) Whether the
expanded 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; (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; and (e) ways to identify
alternate sources of AFV information
EIA proposes to collect. EIA will
evaluate comments on duplication of
data sources based on terms of data
coverage, level of aggregation, frequency
of collection, data reliability, and
statutory requirements to determine
whether alternate data sources represent
a suitable substitute for EIA data.
This information collection request
contains:
(1) OMB No. 1905–0191;
(2) Information Collection Request
Title: Annual Survey of Alternative
Fueled Vehicles;
(3) Type of Request: Renewal, with
Changes;
(4) Purpose: Form EIA–886 is an
annual survey that collects information
on the number and type of alternative
fueled vehicles (AFVs) and other
advanced technology vehicles that
vehicle suppliers made available in the
previous calendar year and plan to make
available in the following calendar year;
the number, type, and geographic
distribution of AFVs in use in the
previous calendar year; and the amount
and distribution of each type of
alternative transportation fuel (ATF)
consumed in the previous calendar year.
Form EIA–886 data are collected from
suppliers and users of AFVs. These data
are needed by federal and state agencies,
fuel suppliers, transit agencies and other
fleets to determine if sufficient
quantities of AFVs are available for
purchase and to provide Congress with
VerDate Sep<11>2014
21:36 Dec 19, 2017
Jkt 244001
a measure of the extent to which the
objectives of the Energy Policy Act of
1992 are being achieved. These data
serve as a tool for analysis on market
penetration of AFVs in the motor
vehicle population as well as trend
analysis tools on the use and type of
AFVs for Congress, federal/state
agencies, AFV suppliers, vehicle fleet
managers, and other interested
organizations and persons.
(4a) Proposed Changes to Information
Collection: EIA is proposing two
changes to Form EIA–886: (1) Collect
more detailed vehicle type information
and weight classifications from
suppliers and users of AFVs; and (2)
incorporate questions for electric
vehicle users to gain a better
understanding of refueling
infrastructure and electricity
consumption in electric and plug-in
hybrid electric vehicles.
(1) Changes to Vehicle Type and
Weight Classifications: EIA proposes to
standardize and break out weight
classes to reflect industry standards by
simplifying the list of vehicle type codes
and adding a new column for detailed
weight classifications in Parts 2 and 3 of
Form EIA–886. These changes support
EPA’s emission inventory Motor Vehicle
Emission Simulator model (MOVES) by
making the weight classifications in
EIA’s data collection consistent with the
weight classifications used by EPA. The
MOVES model is the official emissions
inventory model for highway and nonroad mobile sources used by EPA’s
Office of Transportation and Air
Quality. This model is also used by
state, local, and regional governments
for environmental analysis of official
submissions to EPA required by the
Clean Air Act, such as State
Implementation Plans (SIPs) and
transportation conformity analysis for
roadway construction. In addition, the
MOVES model is instrumental in the
development of national inventories
used for evaluating the costs and
benefits of EPA regulations, such as the
second phase of the Greenhouse Gas
Rule for Heavy-Duty Vehicles currently
underway, including the predictions of
the effects of EPA regulations on air
quality.
(2) Questions for Electric Vehicle
Users: EIA seeks to gather tertiary
information about electric vehicle
power consumption to establish
parameters for estimating consumption
of electricity in its published report. EIA
proposes to add questions to Part 2 of
the form to collect information on
charging patterns, mileage, and electric
utility billing as it relates to electric
vehicles.

(5) Annual Estimated Number of
Respondents: 2,050;
(6) Annual Estimated Number of
Total Responses: 2,050;
(7) Annual Estimated Number of
Burden Hours: 8,575;
Average Burden per Response: 4.2
hours;
AFV Suppliers (30 Original
Equipment Manufacturers): 3.5 hours
per response;
AFV Suppliers (20 Aftermarket
Vehicle Converters): 3 hours per
response;
AFV Users (100 complex fleets): 4.3
hours per response;
AFV Users (1,900 simple fleets): 4.2
hours per response;
(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Cost Burden: EIA
estimates that there are no capital and
start-up costs associated with this data
collection. The information is
maintained in the normal course of
business. The cost of burden hours to
the respondents is estimated to be
$631,635 (8,575 burden hours times
$73.66 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.
Statutory Authority: Section 13(b) of the
Federal Energy Administration Act of 1974,
