Dear
The Energy Information Administration (EIA) is pleased to announce that reporting for the
mandatory survey Form EIA-886 “Annual Survey of Alternative Fueled Vehicles” for 2007 is
online at https://eiaweb.inel.gov. This web-enabled reporting system is an important component
in the Federal Government’s collective efforts to promote an electronic government that improves
efficiency and customer service through the use of information technology.
Form EIA-886 collects information from two distinct groups: 1) organizations that “make
available” alternative fueled vehicles (suppliers), and 2) organizations that use alternative fueled
vehicles (AFVs) and/or alternative transportation fuels (users).
Your organization was identified as a possible supplier and/or user of AFVs and has therefore
been granted access to the EIAWEB online reporting system to fulfill your reporting obligation.
To access the system, follow these steps:
1.
2.
3.

An online help system and links to download the paper Form EIA-886 and Instructions are
available through the EIAWEB system. The information collected on this form by the EIA will
be used to provide Congress with a measure of the extent to which the objectives of the Energy
Policy Act of 1992 are being achieved.
Although reporting via the online reporting system is preferred, EIA understands that internet
capabilities are not always available for data submission; therefore, we have enclosed a copy of
the Form EIA-886 for your organization to file via mail or fax. Please refer to page 1 of the
instructions for mail/fax information.
Please provide the EIA-886 information to EIA by March 1, 2008.
If you have questions, please contact my assistant, Michelle Kirby at (208) 526-4273.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Sincerely,

Cynthia Sirk
Form EIA-886 Survey Manager
