Extension
U.S. Energy Information
Administration (EIA), Department of
Energy (DOE).
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:

EIA invites public comment
on the proposed collection of
information, Form EIA–871 Commercial
Buildings Energy Consumption Survey
(CBECS) as required under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. EIA
requests a three-year extension, with
changes, of CBECS, OMB Control
Number 1905–0145. This form collects
data on energy consumption and
expenditures and energy-related
building characteristics for the
commercial sector of the national
economy.

instrument, send your request to Joelle
Michaels by phone at (202) 586–8952, or
by email to [email protected].
Access to the proposed form,
instructions, and internet data
collection screens can be found at:
https://www.eia.gov/survey/#eia-871.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
information collection request contains:
(1) OMB No. 1905–0145;
(2) Information Collection Request
Title: Commercial Buildings Energy
Consumption Survey;
(3) Type of Request: Renewal with
changes;
(4) Purpose: CBECS is a national
multi-stage probability sample survey of
commercial buildings and the energy
suppliers to these buildings. The
sampling unit is the building. The
overall objective of CBECS is to collect
basic statistical information on energy
consumption and expenditures in
commercial buildings and the energyrelated characteristics of those
buildings. Aggregate energy
consumption data relating to building
characteristics are made available to the
public in electronic tables and reports at
www.eia.gov/consumption/commercial.
CBECS has been conducted
periodically since 1979; the most recent
data collection cycles were in 2007 and
2012. The 2018 data collection cycle
will be the 11th iteration for this survey.
The CBECS is integral to EIA’s
mandate to collect and publish energy
end-use consumption data. The
collected data constitute the only
national-level data available on energy
consumption in commercial buildings
that are both comprehensive in nature
and statistically rigorous. As such,
CBECS data constitute the only data
series that allows policy makers and
program implementers in both the
public and private sectors to keep track
of national trends in energy
consumption for the commercial sector
and commercial buildings. CBECS is
comprised of the following schedules:
• EIA–871A Building Questionnaire
• EIA–871C Natural Gas Usage
• EIA–871D District Heating Usage
• EIA–871E Electricity Usage
• EIA–871F Fuel Oil Usage
• EIA–871I Mall Building
Questionnaire
• EIA–871J Mall Establishment
Questionnaire
(4a) Proposed Changes to Information
Collection: The current design,
procedures, and schedules for CBECS
reflect a number of changes from the
2012 CBECS collection cycle. The
proposed changes are listed next.
References to added questions apply to
the 2018 CBECS questionnaire numbers

PO 00000

Frm 00030

Fmt 4703

and deleted question numbers refer to
the 2012 CBECS.
• The following associated schedules
are deleted and will not be used: EIA–
871B Authorization Form, EIA–871G
Worksheet 1: Characteristics, Energy
Sources, and Equipment, and EIA–871H
Worksheet 2: Energy Amounts Used and
Dollars Spent.
• EIA–871B Authorization Form is
deleted because EIA can collect this
information from energy suppliers using
its mandatory collection authority.
Respondents no longer need to complete
this form and sign it because their
energy supplier name will be collected
during on the questionnaire form and
they will be informed that EIA will
contact the supplier for further
information.
• EIA–871G Worksheet 1 is deleted.
This worksheet was provided as a
mechanism for respondents to collect
information about characteristics of the
building prior to the interview. EIA has
determined that this worksheet was not
as useful as anticipated and it is not
needed.
• EIA–871H Worksheet 2 is deleted.
This worksheet was used by
respondents to report monthly
consumption and expenditures for
electricity and natural gas. Respondents
could use the worksheet to collect
annual data for fuel oil/diesel/kerosene,
district steam, district hot water, and
total water as preparation for the inperson interview. The worksheet is no
longer necessary because monthly
energy data will be collected from
energy suppliers instead.
• Online data collection is added as
a mode of collection. Respondents will
have the option to complete CBECS
using a self-administered online
questionnaire. Interviewer debriefing
following the 2012 CBECS indicated
that some respondents preferred a web
mode for responding to CBECS. EIA
estimates that 40% of respondents will
choose web as their response mode.
• Delete questions A7–A11 from EIA–
871A: These questions asked
respondents if they included parking
and common areas in the reported
square footage. They were meant to
improve the accuracy of the data
reported for square footage but
respondents had difficulty providing
this information and EIA determined
that other square footage editing
procedures added more value than these
questions.
• Delete questions A20 and A21 from
EIA–871A: Whether the glass is equal on
all sides of the building and if not,
whether the sides receiving direct
sunlight have more or less glass than the

E:\FR\FM\15MYN1.SGM

15MYN1

daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 94 / Tuesday, May 15, 2018 / Notices
other sides, have been deleted for
concerns about data quality.
• Revise question A11 in EIA–871A,
question A11 in EIA–871I: The question
about whether there is a ‘‘cool roof’’ was
expanded to ask which, if any,
properties the roof has that allow it to
reflect more sunlight or absorb less heat
than a standard roof, such as a white or
highly reflective coating or paint or a
vegetative roof. This change was made
following discussions with
stakeholders.
• Delete question B12 from EIA–
871A: Type of retail store question
collected detail about whether the retail
store was apparel specialty, drug store,
home center, etc. There were not
enough responses across the categories
to publish the data, so it did not add any
value.
• Delete questions B31–B33 from
EIA–871A: If any office space, presence
and location of open plan office space
have been deleted for concerns about
data quality.
• Add questions B42 and B43 to EIA–
871A, questions B2 and B3 to EIA–871I:
For buildings that are on a multibuilding campus/complex, these two
questions were added to collect the
number of buildings on the campus/
complex and the name of the campus/
complex. They will help EIA with data
editing.
• Add question C9 to EIA–871A: For
buildings that report more than one
business or organization in the building,
this question was added to collect the
number tenants that lease space in the
building. This is part of the effort to
scope the ability to collect data for a
future tenant data collection.
• Delete questions C22 and C23 from
EIA–871A: Annual number of events for
public assembly buildings, annual
meals served for restaurants. These
questions had high item nonresponse
rates as many of the respondents did not
have that information available.
• Delete questions C24, C25, C32, and
C33 from EIA–871A and C6, C7, C14,
and C15 from EIA–871J: Seasonal use
and ‘‘high season’’ questions. These
questions were meant to make
answering questions about operation
hours easier for respondents at
buildings that were used more in certain
months (e.g., summertime), but data
review indicated that the questions
added confusion and were not helpful.
• Delete question C36 from EIA–
871A: The question about whether fire
station personnel are career or volunteer
has been deleted. This was added to the
2012 CBECS in response to a
stakeholder request, but too few fire
stations and police stations appeared at
random in the sample, so the two

VerDate Sep<11>2014

20:27 May 14, 2018

Jkt 244001

building activities were combined in the
published data tables and the public
microdata.
• Add question D17 to EIA–871A,
question D17 to EIA–871I, question D17
to EIA–871J: If solar as an energy source
is reported to be used in the building,
this follow- up question is asked to
determine whether the building has
solar panels for generating electricity
and/or solar thermal energy. As a
growing number of commercial
buildings are using solar, it has become
more important to collect information
on the specific technology used.
• Revise EIA–871A questions D25–
D90, EIA–871I questions D23–D79, EIA–
871J questions D21–D74: The questions
on space heating source(s) and the
equipment section of the questionnaire
were revised. Instead of asking what
energy source(s) were used for heating
and then asking what types of
equipment, EIA will link the equipment
type to each reported energy source that
is used for heating. Equipment type
response choices will be specific to the
selected energy source(s), which should
make it easier for respondents to report
equipment type and fuel use in their
buildings. This information is useful for
data users to know which source powers
each equipment.
• Revise EIA–871A questions D91–
D117, EIA–871I questions D80–D104,
EIA–871J questions D75–D95: The
cooling source(s) and equipment section
of the questionnaire has also been
revised. Similar to space heating, EIA
will link the equipment type to each
energy source reported to be used for
cooling.
• Delete question D25 from EIA–
871A, D29 from question EIA–871I, and
question D27 from EIA–871J: The type
of furnace (packaged central, split
system, duct furnace, individual) has
been deleted for concerns about data
quality.
• Delete questions D36, D37, and D52
from EIA–871A; D40, D41, and D56
from EIA–871I; and D38, D39, and D50
from EIA–871J: The type of packaged
heating/cooling (unitary, custom builtup) and packaged heating components
(furnace, heat pump, heating coil,
powered induction unit, duct reheat)
questions have been deleted for
concerns about data quality.
• Delete questions D38 and D57 from
EIA–871A; D42 and D61 from EIA–871I;
and D40 and D55 from EIA–871J: The
heat pump heating/cooling system type
(packaged, split, individual, ductless
mini-split, variable refrigerant flow)
questions have been deleted for
concerns about data quality.
• Delete question D41 from EIA–
871A; D45 from EIA–871I; and D43 from

PO 00000

Frm 00031

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

22471

EIA–871J: The type of individual heater
(infrared radiant, baseboard, portable
heater, wall heater, individual furnace,
unit heater, heating element in PTAC
(Packaged Thermal Air Conditioner)
questions has been deleted for concerns
about data quality.
• Delete question D54 from EIA–
871A; D58 from EIA–871I; and D52 from
EIA–871J: Whether the absorption
chiller has the capability to act as a
heater chiller has been deleted for
concerns about data quality.
• Delete questions D43, D44, D61,
D62, and D62a from EIA–871A; D47,
D48, D65, D66, and D66a from EIA–
871I; and D45, D46, D59, D60, and D60a
from EIA–871J: Heating/cooling
ventilation equipment (CAV (Constant
Air Volume), VAV (Variable Air
Volume), underfloor distribution,
dedicated outside air system, demandcontrolled ventilation), however some of
these response options have been
incorporated into the new question
D125 about airflow control, described
below.
• Add follow-up question D119 to
EIA–871A, question D107 to EIA–871I,
question D98 to EIA–871J: For buildings
that report using building automation
systems (also referred to as BAS), this
question will collect information on
which systems (heating, cooling, and/or
lighting) the BAS controls.
• Add question D120 to EIA–871A,
question D108 to EIA–871I, D99 to EIA–
871J: For buildings without BAS
systems, a new question asks whether
‘‘smart’’ or internet-connected
thermostats are used. These types of
thermostats are new since the last
CBECS was conducted, and may be
more common in small commercial
buildings.
• Add question D125 to EIA–871A,
question D113 to EIA–871I, question
D104 to EIA–871J: This question will
collect information about airflow
control in the building: whether the
building has a variable air volume
(VAV) system, a dedicated outdoor air
system (DOAS), or demand controlled
ventilation (DCV). This modified
version of the deleted ventilation
question came from comments and
discussion with stakeholders.
• Add question D141 to EIA–871A,
question D128 to EIA–871I, question
D119 to EIA–871J: A question about
energy sources by generation technology
(if not solar panels or wind turbines)
will link the energy source used with
these generation technologies reported
to be used: reciprocating engine
generators, fuel cells, large turbines, or
microturbines.
• Delete questions D94, D95, and D96
from EIA–871A and D85, D86, and D87

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 94 / Tuesday, May 15, 2018 / Notices

from EIA–871J: How electricity and
natural gas are purchased (local utility,
independent power producer, non-local
utility, broker).
• Add question D144 to EIA–871A,
question D131 to EIA–871I: Ask all
buildings that use electricity whether
there are there any electric vehicle
charging stations associated with the
building. Stakeholders have expressed
an interest in this information and this
end use is expected to grow.
• Add question D145 to EIA–871A,
question D122 to EIA–871J: For dry
cleaner/laundromats that use natural
gas, ask whether there are clothes dryers
that run on natural gas. This will
improve end use estimation in these
types of buildings.
• Delete question D103 from EIA–
871A, question D91 from EIA–871I,
question D88 from EIA–871J: The
question asking whether the building
has advanced metering infrastructure
(AMI) was deleted for data quality
concerns.
• Delete questions E11, E12, and E13
from EIA–871A: The question collecting
whether or not there was space use in
fire stations for non-fire station
activities or for living quarters has been
deleted.
• Delete questions E49 and E50 from
EIA–871A and E32 and E33 from EIA–
871J: Questions about flat screen
monitors (both their presence and
prevalence) have been removed since
they are now the leading type of
monitor used with desktop computers.
• Delete question E60 from EIA–
871A: The square footage of trading
floors will no longer be collected
because it was not publicly reportable
due to confidentiality concerns.
• Add question E73 to EIA–871A:
This question is a follow-up to one that
asks whether there is parking area
associated with the building that is
lighted through fixtures powered
through the building’s electrical service.
This new question asks whether that
parking area is part of building, such as
an indoor parking level, or separate,
such as an outdoor parking lot or garage.
This will help data users to understand
whether indoor parking is included as
part of the building figures.
• Revise EIA–871A questions E41–
E61, EIA–871J questions E27–E47: The
series of questions on computing and
office equipment have been revised
following review of the 2012 data and
discussions with stakeholders. A select
all that apply question about computing
equipment replaces individual
questions about whether there are
computers, laptops, and servers. An
option for tablets has been added to the
list of computing types. If selected, a

VerDate Sep<11>2014

20:27 May 14, 2018

Jkt 244001

new question will collect the number of
tablets that are charged in the building.
Respondents will be given the option to
provide number of server racks if that
figure is more readily available to them
than the number of servers. When a
respondent indicates that a data center
is present in the building, a new
question will ask about characteristics
of the data center (such as a raised floor,
separate cooling system and
uninterruptible power supply) in order
to help identify false positives and
improve data quality. On the office
equipment question, instead of asking
about separate printers, copiers, and
FAX machines, EIA will differentiate
between large stand-alone office devices
and smaller desktop devices, and collect
the numbers of each type.
• Add questions F2, F11, G3, and G10
to EIA–871A, questions F2, F12, G4, and
G11 to EIA–871J: These questions ask
respondents whether they prefer to
report electricity and/or natural gas
consumption data on an annual or a
monthly basis, and if they choose
monthly then they are provided a grid
to provide the monthly data. EIA
expects most respondents will choose to
report the single annual figure, but is
allowing both for flexibility.
• Add questions F4, F6, and F7 to
EIA–871A, questions F5, F7, and F8 to
EIA–871J: For buildings that reported
having on-site electricity generation,
these questions are used to determine
whether they can report the purchased
and the generated electricity separately,
and if so, to collect the purchased
amount of electricity separately.
Stakeholders have expressed interest in
this information.
• Add questions K2–K11 to EIA–
871A: These questions will be used to
scope the ability to collect data for a
future tenant data collection, as set forth
by the Energy Efficiency Improvement
Act of 2015, which requires EIA to
collect data to support a future
Environmental Protection Agency
program to promote energy efficiency in
separate tenant spaces, similar to the
current ENERGY STAR program. These
questions ask about electricity and
natural gas billing arrangements and
metering, which electricity uses are
metered, and who has access to the
metered electricity and natural data.
• Delete questions K1–K20 from EIA–
871A and K1–K14 from EIA–871J: Water
usage and other water-related questions
that were included in the 2007 and 2012
CBECS will be removed. EIA found the
response rates for these data items were
very low and much of the data received
was of low quality. Additionally, EIA
has no mandate to pursue usage data
from water suppliers as well as

PO 00000

Frm 00032

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

insufficient funding to address data
deficiencies.
• Delete questions L14, L15, and L16
from EIA–871A and L2, L3, and L4 from
EIA–871I: Questions about whether the
building has any green certification,
such as Energy Star or LEED, have been
deleted. A thorough analysis of the
performance of this question was
conducted by comparing 2012 CBECS
responses to databases of Energy Star
and LEED certified buildings. This
analysis indicated significant data
quality issues with the CBECS reports
for this question. Furthermore, due to
confidentiality concerns and low
sample sizes, the green building
certification data from the 2012 CBECS
could not be published.
• Deletion of many questionnaire
edits (in EIA–871A, EIA–871I, and EIA–
871J) will reduce the number of times
an interview is interrupted to question
or confirm a data item.
• The Additional Questions sections
of EIA–871C–F are deleted. These
sections contained from two to seven
questions depending on the form:
• Questions 1 through 5 on the
second page of EIA–871C Natural Gas
Usage Form questions are deleted: (1)
What charges were excluded from the
total costs, (2) whether the responses
included all active accounts during the
reporting period, (3) whether the
reported information included
deliveries or sales to any buildings or
units other than the building, (4) the
account classification (commercial,
residential, industrial), and (5) whether
the building was eligible to participate
in a ‘‘customer choice’’ program.
• Questions 1 through 6 on the
second page of EIA–871D District
Energy Usage Form questions are
deleted: (1) Whether the building is
billed for the district steam or hot water
piped into it, (2) whether the building
itself is a heating plant, (3) whether the
reported information included
deliveries or sales to any buildings or
units other than the building, (4) if yes
to previous, the percent of reported
consumption consumed by the building,
(5) the square footage of the building,
and (6) the square footage of all the
buildings on the district loop.
• Questions 1 through 7 on the
second and third pages of EIA–871E
Electricity Usage Form questions are
deleted: (1) What charges were excluded
from the total costs, (2) whether the
responses included all active accounts
during the reporting period, (3) whether
the reported information included
deliveries or sales to any buildings or
units other than the building, (4) the
account classification (commercial,
residential, industrial), (5) whether the

building has an advanced metering
infrastructure (AMI or smart metering),
(6) whether the building was eligible to
participate in a ‘‘customer choice’’
program, and (7) whether the building
participated in any dynamic pricing
programs.
• Questions 1 and 2 on the second
page of EIA–871F Heating Oil Form
questions are being deleted: (1) Whether
the responses included all accounts
during the reporting period and (2)
whether the reported information
included deliveries or sales to any
buildings or units other than the
building.
• EIA will not ask the building
respondents to provide monthly energy
data, as these records are more easily
accessed through energy suppliers. The
Energy Suppliers Survey (Forms EIA–
871C–F, as applicable to each building
depending on which energy source or
sources are used in the building) will be
used for almost all buildings, instead of
the previous methodology where only
those buildings where the building
respondent was not able to provide
valid data were included in the supplier
data collection. The building and
establishment respondents reporting on
Forms EIA–871A and EIA–871J will still
be asked to provide annual energy data
because EIA has found that there are
situations where those respondents are
better suited to provide data that
corresponds correctly to the sampled
CBECS structure. This reporting
structure should provide the highest
quality data while allocating the burden
appropriately across survey
respondents.
(5) Annual Estimated Number of
Respondents: 2,380;
(6) Annual Estimated Number of
Total Responses: 2,380;
(7) Annual Estimated Number of
Burden Hours: 2,611;
(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Cost Burden: The cost of
the burden hours is estimated to be
$197,627 (2,611 burden hours times
$75.69 per hour). EIA estimates that
respondents will have no additional
costs associated with the surveys other
than burden hours.
Comments are invited on whether or
not: (a) The proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of agency functions,
including whether the information will
have a practical utility; (b) EIA’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used, is accurate; (c) EIA
can improve the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information it will collect;
and (d) EIA can minimize the burden of

the collection of information on
respondents, such as automated
collection techniques or other forms of
