confirming the immigration status of
applicants for assistance, as authorized
by section 484(g) of the HEA, 20 U.S.C.
1091(g), and consistent with the title IV
student eligibility requirements of
section 484(a)(5) of the HEA, 20 U.S.C.
1091(a)(5). USCIS is authorized to
participate in this immigration status
verification under section 103 of the
Immigration and Nationality Act, as
amended, 8 U.S.C. 1103.

4. Categories of Records and
Individuals Covered
The records to be used in the match
and the roles of the matching
participants are: Through the use of user
identification codes and passwords,
authorized persons from ED will
transmit electronically data from its
Privacy Act system of records entitled,
‘‘Federal Student Aid Application File
(18–11–01)’’ to USCIS. The data will
include the alien registration number,
the first and last name, date of birth,
current social security number, and
gender of the alien applicant for, or
recipient of, title IV, HEA program
assistance. This action will initiate a
search for corresponding data elements
in a USCIS Privacy Act system of
records entitled ‘‘Verification
Information System Records Notice
(DHS–2007–0010).’’ Where there is a
match of records, the system will add
the following data to the record and
return the file to ED: The primary or
secondary verification number, the date
of entry into the U.S., the country of
birth, the USCIS status code of the alien
applicant or recipient, and a code
indicating that the alien applicant or
recipient was confirmed to be an
eligible non-citizen or that this
determination could not be made.

Consumption Survey (CBECS), Forms
EIA871A through J, OMB Control
Number 1905–0145. The proposed
collection will collect 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. For those
buildings that cannot provide energy
consumption data for the building, the
data will be obtained in a follow-up
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.
DATES: Comments regarding this
collection must be received on or before
October 15, 2012. If you anticipate that
you will be submitting comments, but
find it difficult to do so within the
period of time allowed by this notice,
please advise the DOE Desk Officer at
OMB of your intention to make a
submission as soon as possible. The
Desk Officer may be telephoned at 202–
