Summary

  • EIA-1Weekly Coal Monitoring Report - General Industries and Blast Furnaces (Discontinued)
  • Collected information as a standby form to track coal and coke stocks, receipts and consumption inthe manufacturing sector during coal supply disruptions.

  • − See less+ See more
    • In conjunction with data on Forms EIA-4 and EIA-20, EIA-1 data was used for supply forecasts and to inform the public, the industry, and the Government of aggregated coal consumption and inventories. Respondents would be a selected sample of manufacturing plants that consume coal for all uses other than coke production.
    • Frequency of Collection: Weekly when implemented
    • Number of Respondents: Standby form, number willbe determined at time of use
    • Reporting Requirement: Mandatory
    • Legal Citation: Public Law 93-275 (Federal Energy Administration Act of 1974), Sec. 13(b), 5(a), 5(b), 52
  • EIA-3Quarterly Survey of Industrial, Commercial & Institutional Coal Users

    • 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 that consume in excess of 1,000 short tons of anthracite, bituminous, sub-bituminouscoal or lignite are required to submit a quarterly survey. Data from the Form EIA-3 appear in EIA publications, such as the Quarterly Coal Report, Monthly Energy Review, Annual Energy Review, and the Annual Coal Report. In addition, the EIA uses the data for coal supply analyses and short-term modeling. For help in determining coal origins (counties) for the EIA-3 form in east Kentucky, west Kentucky, north West Virginia, and south West Virginia, see the following maps: East and West Kentucky map JPG format, North and South West Virginia map JPG format.
    • Respondents include manufacturing, institutional, commercial, and coal tranformationplants, and other industrial facilities that consume in excess of 1,000 short tons ofcoal per year. All U.S. coke plants must respond..

    • EIA will conduct periodic censuses of all natural gas and electric utilities above a certain size threshold. These censuses will cover respondents that complete Form EIA-176 and Form EIA-861, excluding the small electric utilities receiving Form EIA-861S. In order to reduce the respondent burden of this proposed data collection, while also considering data quality, for the years in between censuses, EIA will use cut-off samples from Form EIA-857 and Form EIA-861M, based on utility size and state coverage. This will allow EIA to reduce respondent burden on smaller utilities, while also producing population estimates at the state-level by modeling data for the utilities on the frames that were subjected to sampling but not selected.

    • Data are used for analyzing and forecasting residential energy consumption. Housing, appliance, and demographic characteristics data are collected via personal interviews with households, and consumption and expenditure billing data are collected from the energy suppliers. End-use intensities are produced for space heating, water heating, air conditioning, refrigerators, and appliances. Rental agents are contacted by telephone to check on fuels used in rented units. : Surveys were conducted in 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981,1982, 1984, 1987, 1990, 1993, 1997, 2001, 2005, 2009, 2015, and 2020.

    • Data are used in EIA forecasting and energy end use intensity models and are published in statistical and analytical reports. The physical characteristics information for commercial buildings is collected using Form EIA-871A in interviews with owners, managers, or tenants of buildings. The building respondents are also asked to provide energy consumption and expenditures information, if available. Consumption and expenditures data are also collected for responding buildings from individual energy suppliers by using Forms EIA-871C through F (depending upon the energy source) in an online data collection (in earlier CBECS cycles the supplier data were collected by mail forms). The survey was renamed CBECS in 1989. Previously it was conducted under the name of Nonresidential Buildings Energy Consumption Survey. Surveys were conducted in 1979,1983, 1986, 1989, 1992, 1995, 1999, 2003, 2007, and 2012. The current CBECS collected data for 2018.

    • Primary quantities to be measured are "gross withdrawals (wet)," which is full-borewellstream gas minus lease condensate, oil and water; and "natural gas lease production," (sometimes referred to as "sales production" or "gas available for sales"), which indicates the net amount of produced gas that leaves the lease to go to natural gas processing plants or directly to end-users.
    • Additionally, as of the reporting of January 2015 data and onward, are crude oil and lease condensate production, and crude oil and lease condensate volumes by API gravity category (which may be proxied using sales volumes collected from run tickets).
    • Respondents will be a sample of well operators. The gross gas estimates resulting from the survey are the basis for marketed natural gas production reported on the EIA website in the Natural Gas Monthly and the Natural Gas Navigator.

    • In 2008, EIA consolidated six data collection forms into two forms — the EIA-860 and EIA-923. This benefitted electricity generators because it reduced the number of forms they were required to submit. It benefitted EIA and taxpayers because it streamlined the collection process for better efficiency.
  • EIA-923Power Plant Operations Report
  • Collects information from regulated and unregulated electric power plants in the United States. Data collected include electric power generation, energy source consumption, end of reporting period fossil fuel stocks, as well as the quality and cost of fossil fuel receipts. Data are published for use by public and private analysts.

    • 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. Within30 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.

    • Actual imports and exports of electricity are reported in detail by month. Export authorization holders report quarterly while Presidential Permitholders 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.
