requests a three-year extension with
changes to its Form EIA–846,
‘‘Manufacturing Energy Consumption
Survey’’ (MECS), OMB Control Number
1905–0169. The proposed collection
will collect data from the U.S.
manufacturing sector on energy
consumption basic energy consumption
and expenditures, shipments of energy
offsite, end use consumption, building
characteristics, participation in energy
management programs, technologies,
and fuel switching capacity.

Jkt 259001
This
information collection request contains:
(1) OMB No. 1905–0169;
(2) Information Collection Request
Title: Manufacturing Energy
Consumption Survey;
(3) Type of Request: Three-year
extension with changes;
(4) Purpose: Form EIA–846 is a selfadministered sample survey designed to
collect energy consumption and
expenditures data from establishments
in the manufacturing sector; i.e., North
American Industry Classification
System (NAICS) codes 31–33. The
previous MECS required respondents to
complete multiple collection forms
depending on an establishment’s
primary business activity classification
under NAICS. The increased use of
technology by means of an internet data
collection system has allowed the MECS
to eliminate the need to have multiple
forms.
(4a) Proposed Changes to Information
Collection: EIA proposes adding a ‘‘Yes/
No’’ follow up question to the
Electricity: Total Purchased section of
Form EIA–846. The electricity
purchased questions on Form EIA–846
request information about the quantity
and expenditure of an establishment’s
purchased energy, in this case,
electricity. The follow up question EIA
proposes to Form EIA–846 would
identify those geographical areas where
multiple establishments may be
purchasing and using electricity made
from renewable sources, such as solar,
wind, geothermal, and hydropower. The
purpose of this question is to better
understand the technology, equipment,
and infrastructure that may be shared
among manufacturing establishments.
This change is consistent with the
Bipartisan Infrastructure Law
(Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act);
(5) Annual Estimated Number of
Respondents: 15,000;
(6) Annual Estimated Number of
Total Responses: 3,750;
(7) Annual Estimated Number of
Burden Hours: 34,565;
(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Cost Burden: The cost of
the burden hours is estimated to be
$2,882,030 (34,565 burden hours times
$83.38 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.
Statutory Authority: 15 U.S.C. 772(b),
