Administration
Proposed Agency Information
Collection
U.S. Energy Information
Administration (EIA), Department of
Energy (DOE).
ACTION: Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Information
Collection; Notice and Request for
Comments.
AGENCY:

The EIA invites public
comment on a proposed collection of
information that EIA is developing for
submission to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) pursuant to the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The
EIA is soliciting comments on the
proposed reinstatement of the Forms
EIA–871A–J, ‘‘2012 Commercial
Buildings Energy Consumption
Survey.’’
The Federal Energy Administration
Act of 1974 (Pub. L. 93–275, 15 U.S.C.
761 et seq.) and the DOE Organization
Act (Pub. L. 95–91, 42 U.S.C. 7101 et
seq.) require the EIA to carry out a
centralized, comprehensive, and unified
energy information program. This
program collects, evaluates, assembles,
analyzes, and disseminates information
on energy resource reserves, production,
demand, technology, and related
economic and statistical information.
This information is used to assess the
adequacy of energy resources to meet
near and longer-term domestic
demands.

The EIA, as part of its effort to comply
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (Pub. L. 104–13, 44 U.S.C. Chapter
35), provides the general public and
other Federal agencies with
opportunities to comment on collections
of energy information conducted by or
in conjunction with the EIA. Any
comments received help the EIA to
prepare data requests that maximize the
utility of the information collected, and
to assess the impact of collection
requirements on the public. Also, the
EIA will later seek approval by the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) under Section 3507(a) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
The Commercial Buildings Energy
Consumption Survey (CBECS) has been
conducted nine times covering the years
1979, 1983 and 1986 under the name of
the ‘‘Nonresidential Buildings Energy
Consumption Survey,’’ and years 1989,
1992, 1995, 1999, 2003, and 2007 under
the current name, ‘‘Commercial
Buildings Energy Consumption
Survey.’’ CBECS collects baseline data
on energy consumption and
expenditures in commercial buildings,
and on the energy-related characteristics
of those buildings. To obtain this
information, interviews are conducted
for a sample of commercial buildings
representing the 50 States and the
District of Columbia. For buildings in
the survey, data are collected on the
types, amount and cost of energy
consumed in the building, how the
energy is used, structural characteristics
of the buildings, activities conducted
inside the buildings that relate to energy
use, building ownership and occupancy,
energy conservation measures, and
energy-using equipment. The
information will be collected using
computer assisted interviewing for the
2012 CBECS; interviews will be
conducted both in-person and by
telephone. For those buildings that
cannot provide energy consumption
data for the building, the data will be
obtained in a follow-up survey
(historically a mail survey) from the
suppliers of electricity, natural gas, fuel
oil and/or district heat to the building,
after receiving permission from the
building owner, manager or tenant. This
survey to the energy suppliers is
mandatory. The data obtained from the
CBECS are available to the public in a
variety of EIA electronic tables and
reports at http://www.eia.gov/emeu/
cbecs. Public use files that have been
screened to protect the identity of the
individual respondents are also
available electronically at the above web
address. Selected data from the surveys
