individuals of diverse backgrounds
selected for their technical expertise and
experience, established records of
distinguished professional service, and
their knowledge of issues that pertain to
nuclear energy.
Purpose of the Meeting: To inform the
committee of recent developments and

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Direct any requests for additional
information or copies of the information
collection instrument and instructions
to Rebecca Peterson at EIA–63C@
eia.gov, or at 202–586–4509. The
collection instrument and instructions
are also available on the Internet 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: EIA–63C, Densified Biomass Fuels
Report.
(3) Type of Request: New.
(4) Purpose: Production and
consumption of densified biomass fuel
is rising in the United States. One of the
main reasons is the increasing use of
biomass in lieu of fuel oil for residential
heating. In addition, the United States is
exporting rapidly rising amounts to the
European community where greenhouse
gas reduction programs are driving
conversion from coal to biomass for
electric power generation. The data
collected on the Form EIA–63C 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. No company specific
data will be released. The survey will be
filed by operators of densified biomass
fuel manufacturing facilities in the
United States that have 10,000 tons or
more of production capacity. An initial
survey will be required from all U.S.
densified biomass fuel manufacturers
(approximately 200) to determine their
production capacity, the amount
produced in the past year, and the
type(s) of pellets produced. The data
gathered from this initial collection will
be used to determine the official survey
frame and frequency. For planning
purposes, EIA is estimating that 150
respondents will be filing monthly.
(5) Annual Estimated Number of
Respondents: Once the initial survey is
completed, EIA is estimating 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
$129,546 (1800 burden hours times the
current hourly rate of $71.97).
Therefore, other than the cost of burden
hours, EIA estimates that there are no
additional costs for generating,
maintaining, and providing the
information.
