Title: Electric Power Surveys
Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved with change	Conclusion Date: 12/10/2003
	Date Received in OIRA: 10/15/2003
Terms of Clearance: This clearance expires in November of 2004. When EIA requests an extension of this clearance, they will provide to OMB the following information: (1) whether the use of form 920 has reduced the time spent by the federal government in processing this information collection, and, if so, by how much; (2) whether data from this collection is publicly released in less time as a result of the new form 920; and (3) whether it would be feasible to reduce the sample size for forms 920 and 906 and thereby reduce the burden on the public, while still maintaining the integrity and utility of the data collected. OMB appreciates EIA's responsiveness to the comments they received from the public on form 920. In addition, the previous terms of clearance also still apply when EIA requests an extension of this clearance. That is, EIA will report on its investigation of aging firm-level data before releasing that data to the public in order to better protect sensitive business information. EIA will also re-evaluate the practical utility of collecting financial data from non-regulated utilities, in light of electric utility deregulation.
