ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:

EIA submitted an information
collection request for extension as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995. The information collection
requests a three-year extension of its
Generic Clearance for the Collection of
Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service
Delivery, OMB Control Number 1905–
0210. This generic clearance enables

delivery in an efficient and timely
manner to ensure that EIA’s programs
effectively meet our customers’ needs
and to collect feedback on improving
service delivery to the public.
DATES: Comments on this information
collection must be received no later
than June 22, 2022. Written comments
and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this

Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery;
(3) Type of Request: Three-year
extension without change;
(4) Purpose: This information
collection activity provides a means to
collect qualitative customer and
stakeholder feedback in an efficient
timely manner, in accordance with the
Administration’s commitment to

feedback means data that provide useful
insights on perceptions and opinions
but are not statistical surveys that yield
quantitative results that can be
generalized to the population of the
study. This feedback provides insights
into customer or stakeholder

perceptions, experiences, and
expectations. It also provides an early
warning of issues with service, or
focuses attention on areas where
communication, training or changes in
operations might improve the accuracy
of data report on survey instruments or
the delivery of products or services.
These collections allow for ongoing,
collaborative, and actionable
communications between the agency
and its customers and stakeholders. It
also allows feedback to contribute
directly to the improvement of program
management. EIA will only submit a
collection for approval under this
generic clearance if it meets the
following conditions:
• Information gathered will be used
only internally for general service
improvement and program management
purposes and is not intended for release
outside of the agency;
• Information gathered will not be
used for the purpose of substantially
informing influential policy decisions;
• Information gathered will yield
qualitative information; the collections
will not be designed or expected to
yield statistically reliable results or used
as though the results are generalizable to
the population of study;
• The collections are voluntary;
• The collections are low-burden for
respondents (based on considerations of
total burden hours, total number of
respondents, or burden-hours per
respondent) and are low-cost for both
the respondents and the Federal
Government;
• The collections are noncontroversial and do not raise issues of
concern to other Federal agencies;
• Any collection is targeted to the
solicitation of opinions from
respondents who have experience with
the program or may have experience
with the program in the near future; and
• With the exception of information
needed to provide remuneration for
participants of focus groups and
cognitive laboratory studies, personally
identifiable information (PII) is
collected only to the extent necessary
and is not retained.
If these conditions are not met, EIA
will submit an information collection
request to OMB for approval through the
normal PRA process. The solicitation of
feedback on Agency Service Delivery
includes topics such as: Timeliness of
publishing, understanding of questions
and terminology used in EIA products,
perceptions on data confidentiality and
security, appropriateness and relevancy
of information published, accuracy of
information, courtesy, efficiency of
service delivery, and resolution of
issues with service delivery. Responses

are assessed to plan and inform efforts
to improve or maintain the quality of
service offered to the public. Advances
in technology and service delivery
systems in the private sector, have
increased the public’s expectations of
the Government’s customer service
promise. The Federal Government has a
responsibility to streamline and make
more efficient its service delivery to
better serve the public.

operation within ten years of the
specified reporting period (depending
on the type of power plant).
Form EIA–860M Monthly Update to
the Annual Electric Generator Report
collects data on the status of proposed
new generators scheduled to begin
commercial operation within the future
12-month period; and existing
generators that have proposed
modifications that are scheduled for
completion within one month. The
information is needed to ensure a
complete and accurate inventory of the
nation’s generating fleet, for such
purposes as reliability and
environmental analysis.
Form EIA–861 Annual Electric
Power Industry Report collects annual
information on the retail sale,
distribution, transmission, and
generation of electric energy in the
United States and its territories. The
data include related activities such as
energy efficiency and demand response
programs. In combination with Form
EIA–861S short form and the monthly
Form EIA–861M, this annual survey
provides coverage of sales to ultimate
customers of electric power and related
activities.
Form EIA–861S Annual Electric
Power Industry Report (Short Form)
collects a limited set of information
annually from small companies
involved in the retail sale of electricity.
A complete set of annual data are
collected from large companies on Form
EIA–861. The small utilities that
currently report on Form EIA–861S are
required to complete Form EIA–861
once every eight years to provide
updated information for the statistical
estimation of uncollected data.
Form EIA–861M Monthly Electric
Power Industry Report collects monthly
information from a sample of electric
utilities, energy service providers, and
distribution companies that sell or
deliver electric power to end users. Data
included on this form includes sales
and revenue for end-use sectors—
residential, commercial, industrial, and
transportation. This survey is the
monthly complement to the annual data
collection from the universe of
respondents that report on Form EIA–
861 and Form EIA–861S.
Form EIA–923 Power Plant
Operations Report collects information
from electric power plants in the United
States on electric power generation,
energy source consumption, end of
reporting period fossil fuel stocks, as
well as the quality and cost of fossil fuel
receipts.
