SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE) invites public comment on a

submission to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) pursuant to the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 
the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper

information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 
agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of 
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions 
used; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on respondents, including through the use of 
automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology.

difficulty of recruiting qualified workers. The data will be used to 
generate an annual Energy and Jobs Report; (5) Annual Estimated Number 
of Respondents: 30,000; (6) Annual Estimated Number of Total Responses: 
10,000; (7) Annual Estimated Number of Burden Hours: 2,908.4; (8) 
Annual Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Cost Burden: 0.

Organization Act (42 U.S.C. 7151); sec. 5 of the Federal Energy 
Administration Act of 1974 (15 U.S.C. 764); and sec. 103 of the
