Paperwork Reduction Act Burden Disclosure Statement

This data is being collected to allow energy-related employment to be assigned by primary value chain activity, including: research and development; manufacturing; sales and distribution; installation, repair and maintenance; and professional services. It will also provide insight on workforce demographics and employers’ ability to recruit qualified workers.


The data you supply will be used by industry, training organizations, community colleges, job seekers, federal agencies and other stakeholders, to better inform the workforce development system by highlighting changes in the industry that are driving demand for workers. This type of activity for energy and energy related industries is directly aligned with the broad administrative priority around job-driven training articulated in the Administration’s Job Driven training initiative and associated Presidential Memorandum on interagency priorities around jobs, skills and training.

The data will also inform energy economic development planning activities at the local, state and regional levels by providing a more detailed assessment of energy jobs, as well as the changing energy landscape and how such changes influence labor markets.


Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to be between 15-30 minutes, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to Office of the Chief Information Officer, Enterprise Policy Development & Implementation Office, IM-22, Paperwork Reduction Project OMB Control Number 1910-New, U.S. Department of Energy, 1000 Independence Ave SW, Washington, DC, 20585-1290; and to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), OIRA, Paperwork Reduction Project OMB Control Number 1910-New, Washington, DC 20503.


Notwithstanding any other provision of the law, no person is required to respond to, nor shall any person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of information displays a currently valid OMB control number.


Submission of this data is voluntary.

Introduction:




Hello, my name is ________ and I am calling on behalf of the United States Department of Energy. We are conducting a national survey about the energy, energy-related, and advanced manufacturing industries. The survey is voluntary. May I please speak to the person most knowledgeable about staffing at [organization]?


Is now a convenient time?


This survey uses specific terms to describe various technologies and activities. If you require any definitions for clarification, please ask me at any time.


(If needed): This important survey addresses businesses that research, develop, manufacture, install or work with products that generate, distribute or save energy.


(If needed): This includes organizations involved in fossil and renewable energy production, energy efficiency products and services, motor vehicles, solar, wind, fossil and other energy sources, and other energy related products and services.


(If needed): Your individual responses will not be published; only aggregated information will be used in reporting the survey results.


(If needed): The survey should take approximately 15-30 minutes of your time. Your participation will help determine how investments of time and money should be made to support the industry and prepare the present and future labor pool.
