EIA-3Quarterly Survey of Industrial,
Commercial & Institutional Coal Users
Utilized to collect coal consumption data from U.S. manufacturers, transformation and processing
plants, and commercial and institutional users. Information collected includes coal consumption,
stocks, and receipts.
For coal received during the quarter, origin, coal rank, type of purchase contract,
quantity, transportation mode, quality (i.e., Btu, sulfur, and ash contents), and cost
data are collected. For coal transformed during the quarter, data is collected based on
transformation type: Gasification, Liquefaction, Refined Coal, Coking Coal. Facilities

FE-746RImport and
Export of Natural Gas
Section 3 of the Natural Gas Act of 1938, as amended, requires anyone who wants to import or export
natural gas from or to a foreign country must first obtain an authorization from the Department of
Energy.
There are two types of authorizations, blanket and long-term authorizations. The blanket
authorization enables importing or exporting on a short-term or spot market basis for a
period of two years. Under this type of authorization, an entity is authorized to import
and/or export natural gas for itself or act as a marketing agent for a third party. The
entity is not obligated to import or export natural gas when it gets a blanket
authorization and contracts are not required to be filed with the application. The
long-term authorization is used when an entity has, or intends to have, a signed gas
purchase or sales agreement/contract for a period of time longer than two years. Within
30 days following the end of each month, basic information on the monthly
imports/exports must be reported to DOE. Within 30 days following the end of each
calendar quarter, importers and exporters must file more detailed reports describing
import/export activity for the quarter. Data are made available by DOE's Office of
Fossil Energy and are also used by EIA for publications.

Form NWPA-830G, Appendix G - Standard Remittance Advice for Payment of Fees and Annex A to Appendix
G - Standard Remittance Advice for Payment of Fees, are part of the Standard Contract signed by
commercial nuclear utilities and other owners of spent nuclear fuel. These forms are designed to
transmit data to DOE concerning quarterly payments into the Nuclear Waste Fund of ongoing fees for
spent nuclear fuel disposal.
Annex A to Appendix G:PDF|Annex A to Appendix G Instructions:PDF
Appendix G serves as the transmittal document for quarterly ongoing fee payments. Annex
A contains supporting data on net electricity generated and on a number of adjustment
factors used to calculate the amount of net electricity that is actually sold to
ultimate consumers or for resale. Ongoing fee payments are based on net electricity
generated and sold.

DOE-417Electric Emergency Incident and
Disturbance Report
Sponsored and collected by DOE's Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability. The form
collects information on electric emergency incidents and disturbances for DOE's use in fulfilling
its overall national security and other energy management responsibilities.
The information is also used by DOE for analytical purposes. Electric utilities that
operate as Control Area Operators and/or Reliability Authorities as well as other
electric utilities, as appropriate, file the form. The form is a mandatory filing
whenever an electrical incident or disturbance is sufficiently large enough to cross the
reporting thresholds. The information reported includes: (1) Uncontrolled loss of 300 MW
or more of firm system load for more than 15 minutes; (2) Load shedding of 100 MW or
more; (3) System-wide voltage reductions of 3 percent or more affecting more than 50,000
customers; (4) Public appeal to reduce the use of electricity for purposes of
maintaining the continuity of the electric power system; (4) Actual or suspected
physical attacks that could impact electric power system adequacy or reliability, or
vandalism which target components of any security systems; (5) Actual or suspected cyber
or communications attacks that could impact electric power system adequacy or
vulnerability; (6) Fuel supply emergencies that could impact electric power system
adequacy or reliability; (7) Loss of electric service to more than 50,000 customers for
1 hour or more; and (8) Complete operational failure or shut-down of the transmission
and/or distribution electrical system.

OE-781RMonthly
Electricity Imports and Exports Report (Terminated)
The OE-781R, Monthly Electricity Imports and Exports Report has been terminated with the approval of
the EIA-111, Quarterly Electricity Imports and Exports Report.
Collected electrical import/export data from entities authorized to export electric energy, and to
construct, connect, operate or maintain facilities for the transmission of electric energy at an
international boundary as required by 10 CFR 205.308 and 205.325.
Actual imports and
exports of electricity are reported in detail by month. Export
authorization holders report quarterly while Presidential Permit
holders report annually. These data are used by the Department
to track electricity being imported into and exported from the United States, and
to furnish decisionmakers with accurate information on which to
base trade policy. These data are also used for verifying
that Presidential Permit holders have complied with the terms and
conditions of the Permits. Data are used by EIA for publications.
FERCVarious Collections of
Information on Electricity, Natural Gas, Hydroelectric Power, and Oil
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is an independent regulatory agency within the Department
of Energy that: (1) regulates the transmission and sale for
resale of natural gas in interstate commerce; (2) regulates the
transmission of oil by pipeline in interstate commerce; (3) regulates
the transmission and wholesale sales of electricity in interstate
commerce; (4) licenses and inspects private, municipal and state
hydroelectric projects; (5) oversees related environmental matters;
and (6) administers accounting and financial reporting regulations
and the conduct of jurisdictional companies. FERC collects
information necessary for it to fulfill these duties. EIA
uses some information collected by FERC for EIA's analyses and publications.
