performance reports to the Department
(34 CFR 75.590).
The Department will also closely
monitor the extent to which the
products and services provided by the
Center meet needs identified by
stakeholders and may require the Center
to report on such alignment in their
annual and final performance reports.
6. Continuation Awards: In making a
continuation award under 34 CFR
75.253, the Secretary considers, among
other things: whether a grantee has
made substantial progress in achieving
the goals and objectives of the project;
whether the grantee has expended funds
in a manner that is consistent with its
approved application and budget; and,
if the Secretary has established
performance measurement
requirements, whether the grantee has
made substantial progress in achieving
the performance targets in the grantee’s
approved application.
In making a continuation award, the
Secretary also considers whether the
grantee is operating in compliance with
the assurances in its approved
application, including those applicable
to Federal civil rights laws that prohibit
discrimination in programs or activities
receiving Federal financial assistance
from the Department (34 CFR 100.4,
104.5, 106.4, 108.8, and 110.23).

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Energy Information Administration
Agency Information Collection
Proposed 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 three-year extension,
with change, to Form EIA–63C
Densified Biomass Fuel Report as
required under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. The report is
part of EIA’s comprehensive energy data
program. Form EIA–63C collects
monthly data on the manufacture,
shipment, exports, energy
characteristics, and sales of densified
biomass fuels and other densified
biomass fuel products from facilities
that manufacture densified biomass fuel
products (pellet fuels), for energy
applications.
SUMMARY:
EIA must receive all comments
on this proposed information collection
no later than April 22, 2024. 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.
DATES:
Send comments to Patricia
Hutchins by email at patricia.hutchins@
eia.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Connor Murphy, EI–23, U.S. Energy
Information Administration, telephone
1–800–342–4872 or (202) 287–5982,
email Connor.Murphy@eia.gov. The
form and instructions are available at
https://www.eia.gov/survey/#eia-63.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
information collection request contains:
(1) OMB No.: 1905–0209;
(2) Information Collection Request
Title: Densified Biomass Fuel Report;
(3) Type of Request: Three-year
extension with change;
(4) Purpose: Form EIA–63C is part of
EIA’s comprehensive energy data
program. The survey collects
information on the manufacture,

shipment, exports, energy
characteristics, and sales of pellet fuels
and other densified biomass fuel
products from facilities that
manufacture densified biomass fuel
products, primarily pellet fuels, for
energy applications. The data collected
on Form EIA–63C are a primary source
of information for the nation’s growing
production of biomass products for
heating and electric power generation,
and for use in both domestic and foreign
markets.
(4a) Proposed Changes to Information
Collection: There is a reduction in the
number of survey respondents required
to file EIA–63C reports. This reduces the
annual estimated responses and
associated burden hours. There is no
change to the content collected on the
EIA–63C.
(5) Annual Estimated Number of
Respondents: 76;
(6) Annual Estimated Number of
Total Responses: 912;
(7) Annual Estimated Number of
Burden Hours: 1,277;
(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Cost Burden: The cost of
the burden hours is estimated to be
$116,411 (1,277 burden hours times
$91.16 per hour). EIA estimates that
there are no additional costs to
respondents associated with the survey
other than the costs associated with the
burden hours.
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.
Statutory Authority: 15 U.S.C. 772(b)
and 42 U.S.C. 7101 et seq.
