AGENCY:

The EIA has submitted an
information collection request to the
OMB for extension under the provisions
of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
The information collection requests a
three-year extension of its Form EIA–
846, ‘‘Manufacturing Energy
Consumption Survey’’ (MECS), OMB
Control Number 1905–0169. The
proposed collection will collect data on
energy consumption and related
subjects for the manufacturing sector of
the U.S. economy. Those manufacturing
establishments selected for the 2014
sample will have data collected on basic
energy consumption and expenditures,
shipments of energy offsite, end use
consumption, building characteristics,
participation in energy management
programs, technologies, and fuelswitching capacity. The MECS will be

(4) Purpose:
The Federal Energy Administration
Act of 1974 (15 U.S.C. 761 et seq.) and
(42 U.S.C. 7135(i)) require the EIA to
carry out a centralized, comprehensive,
and unified energy information
program. This program collects,
evaluates, assembles, analyzes, and
disseminates information on energy

resource reserves, production, demand,
technology, and related economic and
statistical information. This information
is used to assess the adequacy of energy
resources to meet near and longer term
domestic demands and to promote
sound policymaking, efficient markets,
and public understanding of energy and
its interaction with the economy and the
environment.
The Manufacturing Energy
Consumption Survey (MECS) 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. Previous
MECS required 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 however, has allowed
the MECS to eliminate the need to have
multiple forms.
The 2014 MECS will collect
information during 2015 for business
activities in calendar year 2014. For the
2014 MECS, as in the past, EIA proposes
to collect the following data from each
MECS establishment: (1) For each
energy source consumed—consumption
(total, fuel and nonfuel uses) and the
expenditures for each energy source,
energy storage (as applicable), energy
produced onsite, and shipments (as
applicable); (2) energy end uses; (3) fuelswitching capabilities; (4) general
energy-saving technologies; (5) energy
management activities; and (6) square
footage, and number of buildings in the
establishment.
The MECS has been conducted eight
times previously, covering the years
1985, 1988, 1991, 1994, 1998, 2002,
2006, and 2010. In all eight survey
years, the MECS has collected baseline
data on manufacturers’ energy
consumption and expenditures. The
MECS collected data on fuel-switching
capabilities in all years except 1998. In
the 1991, 1994, 1998, 2002, 2006, and
2010 surveys, the MECS also collected
data on end-uses, energy management
activities, building square footage, and
energy-saving technologies.
The MECS information is the basis for
data and analytic products that can be
found at http://www.eia.gov/
consumption/manufacturing. Also on
this Web site are past publications,
articles, and a special analytic series,
‘‘Industry Analysis Briefs.’’ The 2014
MECS will also be used to benchmark
EIA’s industry forecasting model and
update changes in the energy intensity
and greenhouse gases data series.
