Pursuant to 5
CFR 1320 and the Paperwork Reduction Act, the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) approves this report in part until November 1990.
OMB cannot approve Schedule IIIB of this report. This entire
schedule duplicates information provided to EPA through the
Prevention of Significant Deterioration and New Source Review
programs. In addition, EPA is developing the Aerometric Information
Reporting system which should provide the same type of information
requested in this schedule. In addition, before this collection is
resubmitted for OMB review, EIA should further explain the need for
question IIIA.2 and IV.7. Also, given that entities filing FERC
form 1 provide approximately 75 percen of the US electricity
supply, EIA should explain why it cannot use the information
reported on that form to adequately describe the nonutilit power
producer sector. EIA should also investigate whether the nonutility
section of form 861 could be modified to obatin the needed
information. If the form could not be successfully modified, then
the nonutility section of EIA 861 should be eliminated as it
duplicates the information provided in EIA 867. OMB will work with
FERC and the public to ensure that this collection meets the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act.
