The EIA-882T is used to conduct
pretest surveys, pilot surveys, (face-to-face interviews, telephone
interviews, mail questionnaires and electronic questionnaires),
respondent debriefings, cognitive interviews, usability interviews
and focus groups. Data are used to modify questionnaires to improve
the quality of the data being collected, reduce or minimize
respondent burden, increase agency efficiency and improve
responsiveness to the public. Samples of potential respondents to
proposed surveys are selected to participate.

In a previous clearance, EIA
requested 9,018 hours across all three years. In this current
clearance EIA is requesting 2,000 hours for each year for a total
of 6,000 hours across the three years. This decrease is due to the
one-time research efforts in 2015 that were associated with the
Cities Pilot test and National Pilot test for using alternative
data collection modes for the RECS survey.
