[FR Doc. 2018–10341 Filed 5–14–18; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 3510–22–P DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY U.S. Energy Information Administration Agency Information Collection Extension U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), Department of Energy (DOE). ACTION: Notice and request for comments. AGENCY: EIA invites public comment on the proposed collection of information, Form EIA–871 Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS) as required under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. EIA requests a three-year extension, with changes, of CBECS, OMB Control Number 1905–0145. This form collects data on energy consumption and expenditures and energy-related building characteristics for the commercial sector of the national economy. DATES: EIA must receive all comments on this proposed information collection no later than July 16, 2018. If you anticipate any difficulties in submitting your comments by the deadline, contact the person listed in the ADDRESSES section of this notice as soon as possible. ADDRESSES: Send your comments to Joelle Michaels, CBECS Survey Manager, EI–22, U.S. Department of Energy, 1000 Independence Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20585. Submission by email to joelle.michaels@eia.gov is recommended. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you need additional information or copies of the information collection daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:27 May 14, 2018 Jkt 244001 instrument, send your request to Joelle Michaels by phone at (202) 586–8952, or by email to Joelle.Michaels@eia.gov. Access to the proposed form, instructions, and internet data collection screens can be found at: https://www.eia.gov/survey/#eia-871. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This information collection request contains: (1) OMB No. 1905–0145; (2) Information Collection Request Title: Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey; (3) Type of Request: Renewal with changes; (4) Purpose: CBECS is a national multi-stage probability sample survey of commercial buildings and the energy suppliers to these buildings. The sampling unit is the building. The overall objective of CBECS is to collect basic statistical information on energy consumption and expenditures in commercial buildings and the energyrelated characteristics of those buildings. Aggregate energy consumption data relating to building characteristics are made available to the public in electronic tables and reports at www.eia.gov/consumption/commercial. CBECS has been conducted periodically since 1979; the most recent data collection cycles were in 2007 and 2012. The 2018 data collection cycle will be the 11th iteration for this survey. The CBECS is integral to EIA’s mandate to collect and publish energy end-use consumption data. The collected data constitute the only national-level data available on energy consumption in commercial buildings that are both comprehensive in nature and statistically rigorous. As such, CBECS data constitute the only data series that allows policy makers and program implementers in both the public and private sectors to keep track of national trends in energy consumption for the commercial sector and commercial buildings. CBECS is comprised of the following schedules: • EIA–871A Building Questionnaire • EIA–871C Natural Gas Usage • EIA–871D District Heating Usage • EIA–871E Electricity Usage • EIA–871F Fuel Oil Usage • EIA–871I Mall Building Questionnaire • EIA–871J Mall Establishment Questionnaire (4a) Proposed Changes to Information Collection: The current design, procedures, and schedules for CBECS reflect a number of changes from the 2012 CBECS collection cycle. The proposed changes are listed next. References to added questions apply to the 2018 CBECS questionnaire numbers PO 00000 Frm 00030 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 and deleted question numbers refer to the 2012 CBECS. • The following associated schedules are deleted and will not be used: EIA– 871B Authorization Form, EIA–871G Worksheet 1: Characteristics, Energy Sources, and Equipment, and EIA–871H Worksheet 2: Energy Amounts Used and Dollars Spent. • EIA–871B Authorization Form is deleted because EIA can collect this information from energy suppliers using its mandatory collection authority. Respondents no longer need to complete this form and sign it because their energy supplier name will be collected during on the questionnaire form and they will be informed that EIA will contact the supplier for further information. • EIA–871G Worksheet 1 is deleted. This worksheet was provided as a mechanism for respondents to collect information about characteristics of the building prior to the interview. EIA has determined that this worksheet was not as useful as anticipated and it is not needed. • EIA–871H Worksheet 2 is deleted. This worksheet was used by respondents to report monthly consumption and expenditures for electricity and natural gas. Respondents could use the worksheet to collect annual data for fuel oil/diesel/kerosene, district steam, district hot water, and total water as preparation for the inperson interview. The worksheet is no longer necessary because monthly energy data will be collected from energy suppliers instead. • Online data collection is added as a mode of collection. Respondents will have the option to complete CBECS using a self-administered online questionnaire. Interviewer debriefing following the 2012 CBECS indicated that some respondents preferred a web mode for responding to CBECS. EIA estimates that 40% of respondents will choose web as their response mode. • Delete questions A7–A11 from EIA– 871A: These questions asked respondents if they included parking and common areas in the reported square footage. They were meant to improve the accuracy of the data reported for square footage but respondents had difficulty providing this information and EIA determined that other square footage editing procedures added more value than these questions. • Delete questions A20 and A21 from EIA–871A: Whether the glass is equal on all sides of the building and if not, whether the sides receiving direct sunlight have more or less glass than the E:\FR\FM\15MYN1.SGM 15MYN1
