ACTION: Agency information collection
activities: Proposed collection; notice
and request for comments.
AGENCY:

EIA invites public comment
on the proposed collection of
information, Form EIA–63C, Densified
Biomass Fuel Report, which EIA is
developing for submission to the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB)
pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995. Comments are invited on:
(a) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden of the proposed collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.
When submitting comments regarding
the reporting burden or costs of
reporting this information, describe in
detail any start-up costs you expect to
incur such as new software, processes,
or training. If you claim that you may
incur start-up costs in reporting this
requested information, describe how
your current record keeping practices
differ from the information to be
collected on the proposed Form EIA–
63C.
DATES: Comments regarding this
proposed information collection must
be received on or March 2, 2015. If you
anticipate difficulty in submitting
comments within that period, contact
the person listed in ADDRESSES as soon
as possible.
ADDRESSES: Use email address: EIA–
[email protected] to send comments
electronically and to ensure receipt of
the comments by the due date. The
postal mailing address for sending
written comments is Attn: Rebecca

Requests for additional information
should be directed to Rebecca Peterson
at the email address Rebecca.Peterson@
eia.gov. Ms. Peterson may also be
contacted by telephone on (202) 586–
4509. The draft form and instructions
are available on the EIA Web site at
http://www.eia.gov/survey/form/eia_
63c/proposed/.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
information collection request contains:
(1) OMB No.: New;
(2) Information Collection Request
Title: Form EIA–63C, Densified Biomass
Fuel Report;
(3) Type of Request: New;
(4) Purpose: The consumption of
densified biomass fuel, a renewable
energy source, is increasing in the
United States, particularly in the
northeast where a number of states are
conducting successful incentive
programs for switching from fuel oil to
biomass for heating. Production of
densified biomass fuel for export is also
rapidly growing, particularly in the
southeastern United States, driven by
demand from the European community
where greenhouse gas reduction
initiatives are driving conversion of coal
to biomass for electric power generation.
The survey will gather information on
pellet fuel and other densified biomass
fuel production, sales, and inventory
levels by operators of pellet fuel
manufacturing facilities in the United
States. The data collected will be used
to estimate densified biomass fuel
consumption in the United States as
well as production, sales, and inventory
at state, regional, and national levels. A
summary of the data will be published
on the EIA Web site and in various EIA
publications, including the Monthly
Energy Review.
(5) Annual Estimated Number of
Respondents: We estimate the number
of respondents to be approximately 150;
(6) Annual Estimated Number of
Total Responses: 1,800 (150
respondents × 12 months);
(7) Annual Estimated Number of
Burden Hours: 1,800 (150 respondents ×
12 months × 1 hour for each response);
(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Cost Burden: EIA
estimates that there are no capital and
start-up costs associated with this data
collection. The information is
maintained in the normal course of
business. The cost of burden hours to
the respondents is estimated to be
$124,794 (1800 burden hours times
$69.33 per hour). Therefore, other than
the cost of burden hours, EIA estimates
that there are no additional costs for
generating, maintaining and providing
the information.
