This estimate of burden covers
all surveys conducted by the DOE and represents a compilation of
the different types of surveys and questionnaires that could be
completed. In many instances the questionnaire is a short feedback
questionnaire on the website experience that will take less than 15
minutes to complete. Since some questionnaires are available to
online visitors, it is possible that a large number of responses
could occur during a time when the systems are not being monitored
(e.g. a federal holiday or a weekend). Many of these online
questionnaires are voluntary and available to the public and DOE
estimates a maximum respondent count in the event there is a high
response to the questionnaire. In other instances a focus group or
more in depth questionnaire could be administered that would take
longer than 15 minutes to complete. This estimate represents an
average of all of the different kinds of surveys conducted by DOE
and considers the possibility of continued increases in data users
of DOE/EIA data products.
