Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request; Correction

AGENCY: Energy Information Administration (EIA), Department of Energy 
(DOE).

ACTION: Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request; Correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice corrects a document published in the Federal 
Register on October 22, 2003 (68 FR 60342) FR Doc. No. 03-26652. The 
EIA submitted the Supplemental Electric Power Program Survey to the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review under section 
3507(h)(1) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13) (44 
U.S.C. 3501 et seq). Instead of a review and three-year extension, the 
request is for a revision to three surveys: Forms EIA-826, 861, and 
906, and the creation of a fourth, EIA-920. The proposed changes to the 
Form EIA-826 and Form EIA-861 are identical. The proposed changes are 
intended to eliminate reporting of data under an industry sector 
category of ``other'' which has proven to be too vague to be useful for 
analytical purposes, and to collect more specific data on electricity 
use for transportation. The changes to the Form EIA-906 are intended to 
facilitate data collection from combined heat and power plants, and to 
improve the overall quality of EIA's data on power plants. The Form 
EIA-906 will split into two forms, with the new Form EIA-920, 
``Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Plant Report,'' designed for the 
specific purpose of collecting data from CHP facilities. Also, in 
``Supplementary Information,'' numeral ``4.'' should say, ``Revision,'' 
not ``Three-year extension and revision.''
