The Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS) is a quadrennial survey that collects information on energy consumption and household characteristics that relate to energy consumption. Energy suppliers report energy consumption for households in the sample. The information obtained by RECS is used to produce estimates of energy characteristics, consumption, and expenditures in U.S. households.

The completed sample size, estimated burden per response, and final burden estimate for Form EIA 457-A are unchanged.
The burden estimates for Forms EIA 457-D, E, F, and G are updated based on the number of individual forms and number of suppliers responding to the 2020 RECS. For Form EIA 457-E Household Electricity Usage, for example, we collected fewer forms from more suppliers than EIA anticipated collecting at the outset of data collection. Therefore, the overall burden per response is lower (from 3.40 to 2.72 hours per response), but the annual burden hour estimate is changed only slightly (-60 hours).
The change in burden for the 2024 RECS also reflects additional burden for pretesting interviews, in the form of respondent debriefings, which were not included in the 2020 RECS burden estimate.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).

(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
