Terms of Clearance:
OMB approves this collection for 3 years. EIA has agreed to the following conditions: (1) To delay implementation of form 411, Schedule 7, until January 2006, so that industry stakeholders may have an opportunity to update their reporting systems and processes. (2)EIA will not alter its existing confidentiality provisions for forms 423, 826, 906, and 920. Although EIA proposed a change to confidentiality provisions that would have led to a release of firm level data 6 months after the report year, OMB does not approve this proposal at this time. However, EIA is encouraged to review its overall policies concerning aging firm level data and may resubmit a justification to release sensitive firm data based on this review and further consultation with stakeholders for OMB's reconsideration. 3)EIA shall review confidentiality statements in the instructions for each form and if the majority of the information collected on the form is public information and will not be treated as confidential, EIA shall note this at the beginning of_the confidentiality statement prior to the description of the information that EIA will treat as confidential. This statement currently appears at the end of the confidentiality section on some forms. (4) Form EIA-412 is approved as a standby. If EIA decides to implement form 412 and collect information under CIPSEA, EIA will redesign the form and submit it with a Form 83-C to OMB for approval. The redesigned form 412 shall have separate forms or schedules for utilities and non-utilities and shall also clearly distinguish CIPSEA protected information by collecting this information on a separate form or schedule from non-CIPSEA protected information. EIA may include CIPSEA and non-CIPSEA protected information on the same form for non-utilities if the CIPSEA protected information is clearly identified on the form, and EIA provides a justification as to why a separate form for CIPSEA protected information is not feasible or practical. (5) When EIA requests an extension of this package, the agency should provide OMB with additional information on Form EIA-411, Schedule 7, including details on how the information was used, duplication with other public sources of transmission information, input from NERC and its regional councils with respect to the burden associated with reporting the information, and any concerns expressed by stakeholders with regard to the quality of the survey data.
