In accordance
with 5 CFR 1320, this packet is approved for three years. OMB
understands that EIA is in the process of eliminating EIA-895 and
replacing it with EIA-914. Prior to discontinuing the data series
contained in EIA-895, the agency will notify the public as to the
differences between EIA-895 and EIA-914, as well as the date that
the new data series contained in EIA-914 will replace EIA-895. When
the agency resubmits this collection the supporting statement
should address problems with the survey frame in EIA-910.
Specifically address whether the turnover rate of natural gas
marketers in the recently added states limits the usefullness of
the data from those states.
