Title of Collection: Borrower Defenses
Regulations.
OMB Control Number: 1845–0142.
Type of Review: A revision of an
existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals or Households; Private
Sector.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 11,487.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 5,531.
Abstract: The Department of
Education (the Department) requests a
revision of the current information
collection associated with OMB Control
Number 1845–0142 due to an increase
in the number of borrowers asserting a
borrower defense to repayment claim.
The only change to the collection is an
update to increase the number of
respondents, responses and burden
hours.
The regulations in § 685.222 provide
a framework for the borrower defense
individual and group process that
applies to loans first disbursed on or
after July 1, 2017 and before July 1,
2020, including descriptions of the
circumstances under which group

borrower defense claims could be
considered, and the process the
Department will follow for borrower
defenses for a group. The regulations
establish a process for review and
determination of a borrower defense for
groups identified by the Secretary for
which the borrower defense is made
regarding a Direct Loans for attendance
at a closed school that has not provided
financial protection currently available
to the Secretary from which to recover
any losses based on borrower defense
claims, and for which there is no
appropriate entity from which the
Secretary can otherwise practicably
recover such losses. The regulations also
establish the process for groups
identified by the Secretary for which the
borrower defense is asserted with
respect to Direct Loans to attend an
open school.

Production and Preparation, Form EIA–
8A Annual Survey of Coal Stocks and
Coal Exports, Form EIA–6 Emergency

and prices.
DATES: EIA must receive all comments
on this proposed information collection
no later than January 31, 2020. If you

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
This information collection request
contains:
(1) OMB Control Number: 1905–0167;
(2) Information Collection Request
Title: Coal Markets Reporting System;
(3) Type of Request: Three-year
extension without changes;
(4) Purpose: The Coal Markets
Reporting System (CMRS) program
collects, evaluates, assembles, analyzes,
and disseminates information on coal
production, sales, technology, reserves,
and related economic and statistical
information. This information is used to
assess the adequacy of coal and other
energy resources to meet near and
longer term domestic demands and to
promote sound policymaking, efficient
markets, and public understanding of
energy and its interaction with the
economy and the environment.
Form EIA–3 collects quarterly data on
the use of coal at U.S. manufacturing
plants, coal transformation/processing
plants, coke plants, and commercial and
institutional users of coal. Form EIA–7A
collects characteristics of coalbeds
mined, recoverable reserves, production
capacity, coal sales and revenue, stocks
held at mines, and the disposition of the
coal mined. For coal preparation,
information collected includes
operations, locations, production
capacity, disposition, and volume of
coal prepared. Form EIA–8A collects
data on coal stocks by state location,
exported coal by origin state, and export
revenue of coal sold during the
reporting year.
Form EIA–6 Emergency Coal Supply
Survey and Form EIA–20 Emergency
Weekly Coal Monitoring Survey for Coal
Burning Power Producers are standby
surveys used during periods of coal
supply and transportation disruptions.
In the event of a supply or
transportation disruption, these two
standby surveys activate and operate
weekly over a ten week period. Once
activated, Form EIA–6 collects weekly
coal production and stocks data from
U.S. coal mining companies. Data are
aggregated and reported at the state

level. During disruptive events, Form
EIA–20 collects available coal-fired
capacity, generation, consumption, and
stocks from coal-fired electric power
generators.
The CMRS collects coal market data
and information pertaining to the
quality of the coal, including heat
content, ash content, sulfur content and
contents of mercury and chlorides.
Aggregates of this collection are used to
support analysis on the effects of public
policy on the coal industry, economic
modeling, forecasting, coal supply and
demand studies, and in guiding research
and development programs. The data
are included in EIA publications, such
as the Monthly Energy Review, Quarterly
Coal Report, Quarterly Coal Distribution
Report, Annual Coal Report, and
Annual Coal Distribution Report.
EIA also uses the data in short-term
and long-term forecast models such as
the Short-Term Integrated Forecasting
System (STIFS) and the National Energy
Modeling System (NEMS) Coal Market
Module. The forecast data also appear in
the Short-Term Energy Outlook and the
Annual Energy Outlook publications.
(5) Estimated Number of Survey
Respondents: 1,164.
• Form EIA–3 has 397 respondents;
• Form EIA–7A has 692 respondents;
• Form EIA–8A has 48 respondents;
• Form EIA–6 (standby) has 15
respondents;
• Form EIA–20 (standby) has 12
respondents.
(6) Annual Estimated Number of
Total Responses: 2,598.
(7) Annual Estimated Number of
Burden Hours: 4,417.
(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Cost Burden: $346,823
(4,417 burden hours times $78.52 per
hour). EIA estimates that there are no
additional costs to respondents
associated with the surveys other than
the costs associated with the burden
hours since the information is
maintained during normal course of
business.
Comments are invited on whether or
not: (a) The proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of agency functions,
including whether the information will
have a practical utility; (b) EIA’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used, is accurate; (c) EIA
can improve the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information it will collect;
and (d) EIA can minimize the burden of
the collection of information on
respondents, such as automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
