The electricity surveys collect data from entities involved in the production, transmission, delivery, and sale of electricity, and in maintaining the reliable operation of the power system. The data collected are the primary source of information on the nation’s electric power industry. In addition to routine survey approval, this clearance proposes changes to the surveys, including the collection of enhanced data on power system reliability, operations, environmental performance, and energy efficiency and demand response programs. The proposal also eliminates questions where the data are either no longer needed or cannot be accurately or cost-effectively collected. The EIA-63B survey collects data from companies involved in the photovoltaic industry; e.g. manufacturing, shipping, importing, and exporting. This survey is the primary source of information on this energy industry segment. The data collected are published in various EIA reports and are available through EIA's Internet site. The data are used to monitor the current status and trends of the electric power and photovoltaic industries. Users of the data include Congress, other executive agencies, state governments, non-governmental organizations, private analysts and forecasters, and the general public. The change in burden is due to the following factors: the net effect of adding, removing, and revising questions and an increase in the number of respondents due to growth in the power industry (such as a large number of new solar and wind power plants).

The change in burden is due to the following factors: the net effect of adding, removing, and revising questions and an increase in the number of respondents due to growth in the power industry (such as a large number of new solar and wind power plants). Also, there is a new requirement for 25 plants in Puerto Rico to begin filing Form EIA-860 and Form EIA-923.
