The electricity surveys collect data
from entities involved in the production, transmission, delivery,
and sale of electricity, and in maintaining the reliable operation
of the power system. The data collected are the primary source of
information on the nation’s electric power industry. In addition to
routine survey approval, this clearance proposes changes to the
surveys, including the collection of enhanced data on power system
reliability, operations, environmental performance, and energy
efficiency and demand response programs. The proposal also
eliminates questions where the data are either no longer needed or
cannot be accurately or cost-effectively collected. The EIA-63B
survey collects data from companies involved in the photovoltaic
industry; e.g. manufacturing, shipping, importing, and exporting.
This survey is the primary source of information on this energy
industry segment. The data collected are published in various EIA
reports and are available through EIA's Internet site. The data are
used to monitor the current status and trends of the electric power
and photovoltaic industries. Users of the data include Congress,
other executive agencies, state governments, non-governmental
organizations, private analysts and forecasters, and the general
public. The change in burden is due to the following factors: the
net effect of adding, removing, and revising questions and an
increase in the number of respondents due to growth in the power
industry (such as a large number of new solar and wind power
plants).

25 plants in Puerto Rico to begin filing Form EIA-860 and Form
EIA-923.
