The information collection proposed in this supporting statement has been reviewed in light of
applicable information quality guidelines. It has been determined that the information will be
collected, maintained, and used in a manner consistent with the OMB, DOE, and EIA
information quality guidelines.
A. Justification
1. Legal Authority
The authority for these data collections is provided by the following provisions:
Section 13(b) (15 U.S.C. § 772 (b)) of the Federal Energy Administration Act of 1974, P.L.
1

93-275 (FEA Act), which states:
“All persons owning or operating facilities or business premises who are engaged in any
phase of energy supply or major energy consumption shall make available to the
[Secretary] such information and periodic reports, records, documents, and other data
relating to the purposes of this Act, including full identification of all data and
projections as to source, time, and methodology of development, as the [Secretary] may
prescribe by regulation or order as necessary or appropriate for the exercise of functions
under the Act.”
The functions of the FEA Act are set forth in Section 5(b) (15 U.S.C. § 764(b)) of the Act, which
states that the [Secretary] shall, to the extent he is authorized by Section 5(a) of the FEA Act:
(2) assess the adequacy of energy resources to meet demands in the immediate and
longer range future for all sectors of the economy and for the general public; . . .
(4) develop plans and programs for dealing with energy production shortages;
(5) promote stability in energy prices to the consumer, promote free and open
competition in all aspects of the energy field, prevent unreasonable profits within the
various segments of the energy industry, and promote free enterprise;
(6) assure that energy programs are designed and implemented in a fair and efficient
manner so as to minimize hardship and inequity while assuring that the priority needs of
the Nation are met;...
(9) collect, evaluate, assemble, and analyze energy information on reserves, production,
demand, and related economic data;
As the authority for invoking Section 5(b) above, subsection 5(a) (15 U.S.C. § 764(a)) of the
FEA Act of 1974 states:
Subject to the provisions and procedures set forth in this Act, the [Secretary] shall be
responsible for such actions as are taken to assure that adequate provision is made to
meet the energy needs of the Nation. To that end, he shall make such plans and direct
and conduct such programs related to the production, conservation, use, control,
distribution, rationing, and allocation of all forms of energy as are appropriate in
connection with only those authorities or functions (1) specifically transferred to or vested in him by or pursuant to this Act;
(3) otherwise specifically vested in the [Secretary] by the Congress.
Authority for invoking Section 5(a) of the FEA Act is provided in turn by Section 52 (15 U.S.C.
§ 790a) of the FEA Act which states:
2

(a) It shall be the duty of the (Director) to establish a National Energy Information
System (hereinafter referred to in this Act as the (“System”) [that] shall contain such
information as is required to provide a description of and facilitate analysis of energy
supply and consumption within and affecting the United States on the basis of such
geographic areas and economic sectors as may be appropriate ...
(b) At a minimum, the System shall contain such energy information as is necessary to
carry out the Administration's statistical and forecasting activities, and shall include, such
energy information as is required to define and permit analysis of:
(1) the institutional structure of the energy supply system including patterns of
ownership and control of mineral fuel and nonmineral energy resources and the
production, distribution, and marketing of mineral fuels and electricity;
(2) the consumption of mineral fuels, nonmineral energy resources, and electricity by
such classes, sectors, and regions as may be appropriate for the purposes of this Act;...
(5) industrial, labor, and regional impacts of changes and patterns of energy supply and
consumption.
2. Data Needs and Uses
Purpose
The purpose of the Petroleum Supply Reporting System (PSRS) package is to collect detailed
petroleum industry data to meet EIA’s mandates and energy data users’ needs for credible,
reliable, and timely energy information. Adequate evaluation of the industry requires data on
production, receipts, inputs, movements, and stocks of crude oil, petroleum products, and natural
gas liquids in the United States. The data are published or released on EIA’s website in nine
EIA periodicals (Attachment A - provides a description of the petroleum supply forms and a list
of the publications using these data).
(1) The data that DOE collects are used to address significant energy industry issues. In
line with its mandated responsibility to collect data that adequately describe the
petroleum supply marketplace, DOE has been and will continue to be asked to evaluate
the significance of a number of important issues related to the energy industry in general
and the petroleum supply industry in particular. The data collected by the Petroleum
Supply Reporting System surveys are among those that are required to address these
issues.
(2) Alternative data sources do not adequately satisfy the needs of EIA and its user
communities. Accurate, meaningful, and independent supply statistics are essential to
describe and measure phenomena in the marketplace. It is necessary that this information
3

be collected by an unbiased, independent source, if the data are to be credible.
Data from the forms in the Petroleum Supply Reporting System are published or released on
EIA’s website in the Weekly Petroleum Status Report, This Week in Petroleum, Petroleum
Supply Monthly, Petroleum Supply Annual, Monthly Energy Review, Annual Energy Review,
Short-Term Energy Outlook, Annual Energy Outlook, Refinery Capacity Report, and other EIA
publications.
EIA’s petroleum supply program provides Congress, other government agencies, businesses,
trade associations, and private research and consulting organizations with data for analysis,
projections, and monitoring purposes.
Data collected weekly using Forms EIA-800 through EIA-805 is similar although less detailed,
than the data collected monthly using Forms EIA-810 through EIA-815. Respondents to the
weekly surveys are a sample of those reporting on the monthly surveys. The Forms EIA-816,
817, and 819 are also used to collect data monthly.
Data collected weekly appear in the EIA publications Weekly Petroleum Status Report (WPSR)
and This Week in Petroleum (TWIP) on the Internet. This summary of petroleum supply,
demand, and inventories is the only timely government source of consistent data regarding the
current United States petroleum situation. The EIA instituted the WPSR in April 1979. The
report was designed to provide prompt information during gasoline shortages that were part of
the repercussions arising from the revolution in Iran. Since then, the report has informed a wide
audience of the overall petroleum situation on a very timely basis with consistent, wellunderstood, and verifiable data. The TWIP was instituted in 2002 as a means to provide data,
graphs, and analysis about petroleum supply and prices on the Internet.
The electronic access of the WPSR and the TWIP has accounted for over 3,000,000 users of this
data annually, if not more. Customers of the WPSR and the TWIP represent Federal and State
government energy staffs, managers and analysts with the petroleum, financial, and other
industries, the news media, and diverse groups in the general public. Data are used within the
EIA as a source of current information required to develop meaningful supply and demand
forecasts published monthly in the Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO). They are also used in a
similar manner to provide timely information for United States petroleum supply forecasts made
to the International Energy Agency (IEA) each month.
Output of the WPSR and the TWIP has reduced the number of ad hoc requests to the EIA for
current petroleum supply information, ensured consistency in the supply information which is
provided to the public, and acted as a deterrent to undue reaction to isolated supply problems.
The WPSR and the TWIP are well-regarded by customers and have become necessary
information and analytical tools that users heavily rely upon for timely data.
While more accurate and detailed data are presented in the EIA’s publication, Petroleum Supply
Monthly (PSM), the monthly surveys do not capture sudden or rapid changes in the petroleum
4

market conditions nor do they provide data that is timely enough to be useful in a shortfall
situation. There are well-defined needs for petroleum supply data to be collected both on a
weekly and monthly basis in order to meet data requirements set forth by governments, industry,
as well as, the general public. Altering either data collection effort in order to eliminate what
appears to be duplication would result in disruption to the availability of necessary, valid, and
timely petroleum supply information.
The Energy Information Administration maintains that the data collected on these forms are
unique. While some data are available from other Federal agencies and/or from private or
industry sources, these data cannot adequately replace the high quality, independent, and timely
data provided by these petroleum supply survey forms.
As a result of the Clean Air Act of 1990, the Form EIA-819 was implemented in order to
monitor the availability of oxygenates. This information is used by Federal government
agencies, energy analysts, and other public entities. It is published electronically in the PSM and
the EIA-819 Monthly Oxygenate Report.
The Form EIA-820 is an annual survey used to collect current and projected data from refineries.
This information is used by EIA analysts, other Federal and State government agencies, energy
analysts, and a wide range of groups in the general public to analyze the refinery industry. Data
are published on the Internet at the Refinery Capacity Report site.
3. Technical Considerations
In an effort to reduce respondent burden and to provide for more timely processing of filings,
automated reporting of the data is accepted, provided such reports are prepared and transmitted
to EIA in the same format as the data collection form. Data are submitted by telephone, Internet
using secure file transfer, facsimile, mail, email, and by the PC Electronic Data Reporting Option
(PEDRO). In various EIA surveys, several large respondents provide computer-generated
reports in lieu of completing report forms. EIA encourages this type of reporting in order to
reduce respondent burden.
The EIA encourages its survey respondents to transmit data using the Secure File Transfer
System of an Excel spreadsheet through the Internet or to use PEDRO. The Secure File Transfer
System encrypts (scrambles) the spreadsheet data into a code that is not readable to anyone
without the key to decipher it. The secure hypertext transfer protocol (HTTPS) is a
communications protocol designed to transfer encrypted information between computers over
the World Wide Web. PEDRO was developed to reduce respondent burden and provide timely
data to EIA. PEDRO is an advanced electronic data communications software package. It
facilitates a fast, accurate, and efficient transmission of data from remote sites to a central
computing facility. Using a personal computer for data entry, PEDRO provides the user with an
image of a hard copy survey form. Users enter numeric data and text using the keyboard or by
importing data from another computer system. PEDRO has the capability to perform a variety of
data checks by comparing data against range checks, lists of accepted values, or criteria derived
5

from historical data. Security of the data transmission is accomplished through the use of
passwords and data encryption. Data accuracy is ensured by several levels of error detection.
4a. Efforts to Reduce Duplication
EIA has conducted extensive reviews to ensure its petroleum supply surveys do not duplicate
other data available. In addition, EIA has analysts who are very knowledgeable of the petroleum
data that review these survey forms. As changes are proposed to petroleum supply survey forms,
EIA conducts extensive review processes to ensure the avoidance of the unnecessary collection
of data. At this time, every effort has been be made to identify, through discussions with trade
associations, private companies, and other government offices, potential duplication of data, data
that is no longer necessary, or data that can be collected more efficiently by another survey.
4b. Inadequacies of Similar Data
The EIA has evaluated all known sources of data relating to petroleum supply and found no
other sources to be as comprehensive or detailed to replace the data collections currently utilized
by the Federal government. It was determined that other sources are not sufficient to replace or
approximate the information collected because of differences in classification, or due to the lack
of universe estimation procedures.
When changes are proposed to petroleum supply survey forms, an extensive review of other
sources relating to these types of data is performed.
5. Burden Reduction for Small Businesses and Small Entities
Data requested provides the minimum information necessary to fulfill EIA's responsibility to
provide meaningful, timely, objective, and accurate petroleum supply data. Respondents to the
survey complete only those data elements applicable to their operations. Sampling practices are
utilized in order to minimize burden on respondents whenever this will not impact the quality of
the data. The use of PEDRO or the Internet by respondents reduces reporting burden by
eliminating paperwork and reducing follow-up calls resulting in survey re-submissions. Also,
EIA staff members are available during normal business hours to provide assistance by
telephone.
6. Results of Collecting Data Less Frequently
The Energy Information Administration is recognized as the major collector of comprehensive
and reliable United States energy supply and demand data. All sectors of the economy rely on
EIA for energy statistics and consider its publications unfailing as timely Government indicators
of current energy conditions and incipient trends. Less frequent reporting would prohibit EIA
from meeting its mandate of providing timely and reliable energy information.
7. Special Circumstances
6

On a weekly basis, the data on the EIA-800 through EIA-804 have been collected since 1979
while data on the EIA-805 have been collected since 2004. The data are used to generate the
Weekly Petroleum Supply Report and This Week in Petroleum. The reports generated from the
weekly data are very much in demand by a wide audience. The EIA-810 through EIA-819 are
collected on a monthly basis and are published in the Petroleum Supply Monthly, Monthly
Energy Review, Petroleum Supply Annual and the Annual Energy Review. The data are required
to meet the needs of the public and private sectors.
8. Summary of Consultation Outside the EIA
A request for comments from interested persons was solicited in a Federal Register Notice that
proposed a three-year extension of the collection approval for each of the surveys with no
changes to the previously approved collections. The notice was published on June 5, 2006 in the
Federal Register, (71 FR 32334). Comments were received from one interested party. A
summary of the response is listed below.
•

The comment from an extensive user of the data supported the continued collection of
data by EIA on the Petroleum Supply Forms. In addition, the commenter requested to
be kept informed concerning any modifications to these forms.

The Federal Register notice announcing the submission of the Petroleum Supply Reporting
System package to the Office of Management and Budget was published on October 17, 2006.
The citation is (71 FR 61034).
9. Remuneration
There will be no payment or gift to respondents to respond.
10. Provisions Regarding Confidentiality of Information
All Petroleum Supply Reporting System survey forms, with the exception of the Form EIA-814,
utilize the same general confidentiality statement. Information reported on Form EIA-814 will
not be treated as confidential and will be publicly released in identifiable form. In addition to the
use of the information by EIA for statistical purposes, the information may be made available,
upon request, to other Federal agencies authorized by law to receive such information for any
nonstatistical purposes such as administrative, regulatory, law enforcement, or adjudicatory
purposes.
Excluding the Form EIA-814, the following statement is provided in the survey instructions for
each form:

7

PROVISIONS REGARDING CONFIDENTIALITY OF INFORMATION
The information reported on this form will be protected and not disclosed to the public to the
extent that it satisfies the criteria for exemption under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5
U.S.C. §552, the DOE regulations, 10 C.F.R. §1004.11, implementing the FOIA, and the Trade
Secrets Act, 18 U.S.C. §1905.
The Federal Energy Administration Act requires the EIA to provide company-specific data to
other Federal agencies when requested for official use. The information reported on this form
may also be made available, upon request, to another component of the Department of Energy
(DOE); to any Committee of Congress, the General Accounting Office, or other Federal agencies
authorized by law to receive such information. A court of competent jurisdiction may obtain this
information in response to an order. The information may be used for any nonstatistical
purposes such as administrative, regulatory, law enforcement, or adjudicatory purposes.
Disclosure limitation procedures are not applied to the statistical data published from this
survey's information. Thus, there may be some statistics that are based on data from fewer than
three respondents, or that are dominated by data from one or two large respondents. In these
cases, it may be possible for a knowledgeable person to estimate the information reported by a
specific respondent.
Special provisions are made for the Forms EIA-810 through 813, 815 through 817, 819 and 820
which state the following:
Form EIA-810: The data collected on Form EIA-810, “Monthly Refinery Report,” is
used to report aggregate statistics on and conduct analyses of the operation of U.S.
petroleum refineries.
Form EIA-811: The data collected on Form EIA-811, “Monthly Bulk Terminal Report,”
is used to report aggregate statistics on and conduct analyses of end-of-month stocks of
petroleum products at bulk terminal facilities.
Form EIA-812: The data collected on Form EIA-812, “Monthly Product Pipeline
Report,” is used to report aggregate statistics on and conduct analyses of end-of-month
stocks and movements of petroleum products by pipeline.
Form EIA-813: The data collected on Form EIA-813, “Monthly Crude Oil Report,” is
used to report aggregate statistics on and conduct analyses of end-of-month stocks and
movements of crude oil by pipeline.
Form EIA-815: The data collected on Form EIA-815, “Monthly Terminal Blenders
Report,” is used to report aggregate statistics on and conduct analyses of the motor
gasoline blending activity at terminals.

8

Form EIA-816: The data collected on Form EIA-816, “Monthly Natural Gas Liquids
Report,” is used to report aggregate statistics on and conduct analyses of the operation of
U.S. natural gas processing plants and fractionators.
Form EIA-817: The data collected on Form EIA-817, “Monthly Tanker and Barge
Movement Report,” is used to report aggregate statistics on and conduct analyses of
movements of crude oil and petroleum products.
Form EIA-819: The data collected on Form EIA-819, “Monthly Oxygenate Report,” is
used to report aggregate statistics on and conduct analyses of the production and ending
stocks of oxygenates.
Form EIA-820: Information on operable atmospheric crude oil distillation capacity,
downstream charge capacity, and production capacity reported on Form EIA-820 are not
considered confidential and will be publicly released in identifiable form. In addition to
the use of the information by EIA for statistical purposes, the information may be made
available, upon request, to other Federal agencies authorized by law to receive such
information for any nonstatistical purposes such as administrative, regulatory, law
enforcement, or adjudicatory purposes.
For these nine (9) surveys referenced above, the additional sentence below on data sharing is
also included:
Company specific data are also provided to other DOE offices for the purpose of
examining specific petroleum operations in the context of emergency response planning
and actual emergencies.
The data appear in EIA publications such as Petroleum Supply Monthly (PSM), Monthly Energy
Review (MER), Petroleum Supply Annual (PSA), and the Annual Energy Review (AER).
Company specific data are also provided to other DOE offices for the purpose of examining
specific facility operations in the context of emergency response planning and actual
emergencies.
The EIA publishes tables in the PSM and the PSA based on the data submitted on these forms.
The tables are not subject to statistical disclosure limitation procedures.
EIA will not collect the information on the PSRS forms under the provisions in the Confidential
Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act (CIPSEA) at this time. The fact that some
information is used for nonstatistical purposes by other Government agencies (e.g., the Strategic
Petroleum Reserve) for their official use is the basis for the decision not to collect information
from these surveys under CIPSEA.
11. Justification for Sensitive Questions
The forms contain no questions of a sensitive nature.

The estimated costs to respondents for the burden hours are estimated to be $4,200,501
(73,693 hours times $57 per hour) for 2007 through 2009.
An average cost per hour of $57 is used because that is the average loaded (salary plus benefits)
cost for an EIA employee. EIA assumes that the survey respondent workforce completing
10

surveys for EIA is comparable with the EIA workforce.
13. Estimates of Costs to Respondents
The EIA estimates that there are no additional costs to respondents associated with the surveys in
the Petroleum Supply Reporting System other than the costs associated with the burden hours as
set forth in item 12 above.
14. Estimates of Annual Cost to the Government
The annual costs, including personnel, systems development and maintenance, collection,
processing, analysis, and publication are estimated to be $4,285,568.
15. Changes in Burden or Costs to Respondents
There is a decrease to the total respondent burden of 9,596 hours. The decrease in burden is due
to the fact that the number of respondents for form EIA-810 (refinery survey) decreased by 229.
The decrease was caused by the removal of respondents reporting motor gasoline blending
activity at bulk terminals from the EIA-810 to the EIA-815 form. The burden hours per
response on the EIA-810 form is four times the burden hours of the EIA-815. Although the
EIA-815 respondents have increased by 135 respondents, the decrease in overall burden exists
because there are fewer respondents on the higher-burden form EIA-810.
16. Data Collection and Publication
Plans to tabulate and publish data collected by the PSRS survey forms are as follows:
a.

Forms 800 through 805

The data reported on Forms EIA-800 through 805 are collected, reviewed, and tabulated by the
EIA and used to produce weekly statistics on refinery capacity utilization, refinery inputs of
crude oil, and production, stocks, and imports of selected products. The data are collected by
telephone, facsimile, Internet using secure file transfer, or PEDRO. The data are published in
the WPSR and the TWIP as well as used as preliminary estimates in the PSM and MER.
The time schedule for the collection, processing and submission of the final report for publishing
is as follows:
Data collection due date- reports must be received by 5:00 p.m. on the Monday following
the end of the report period. The weekly report period begins at 7:01 a.m. on Friday and
ends at 7:00 a.m. on the following Friday.
Closeout- The file is closed to any data additions or corrections on Tuesday, close of
business.
11

Data processing and analysis- update of edits occurs on Tuesday with a clean edit
available by the close of business Tuesday.
Publication- the data are published in the WPSR and the TWIP every Wednesday for the
report period ending on the previous Friday. Data are released electronically through
EIA’s Internet at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday for selected tables from the WPSR and at
1:00 p.m. on Wednesday for the complete WPSR and the TWIP.

b.

Forms EIA-810 through 817 and 819

The data reported on these EIA survey forms are collected, reviewed, and tabulated by the EIA
and used to provide monthly statistics on stocks, production, inputs, receipts, shipments, and
imports of crude oil and petroleum products. The data are collected by mail, facsimile, Internet
using secure file transfer, or electronic transmission. The data appear in several agency
publications. The most prominent are the PSM, PSA, MER, and AER. Data from the EIA-819
are published in the EIA-819 Monthly Oxygenate Report. The data are also used in other
systems such as EIA’s State Energy Data System and for DOE short-term forecast models.
The time schedule for the collection, processing, and submission of the final report for
publication is as follows:
Data collection due date- reports must be received by the 20th calendar day after the end
of the report month.
Closeout- the file is closed to additions and corrections on the first calendar day of the
second month following the report month described above.
Publication- the PSM is published approximately 52 days after the end of the report
month. Tables are released electronically through the Internet between the 23rd and 26th
of every month.
e.

Form EIA-820

The data reported on this form are collected, reviewed, and tabulated by the EIA and used to
provide annual statistics on refinery receipts of crude oil by method of transportation during the
preceding year; fuels consumed at the refinery during the preceding year; current year and next
year projections for operable atmospheric crude oil distillation capacity, downstream charge
capacity, and production capacity; and current year working and shell storage capacity for crude
oil and petroleum products at the refinery. The data are collected by mail, Internet using secure
file transfer, or facsimile. Data are published in the Refinery Capacity Report.
The time schedule for the collection, processing, and submission of the final report for
12

publication is as follows:
Data collection due date- reports must be received by February 15th following the report
year.
Closeout- the file is closed to additions or corrections approximately the middle of April
following the report year.
Data processing and analysis- Update of final edits occurs during the first week of April.
Publication- data appears in the Refinery Capacity Report and is released electronically
on the Internet in June.
17. Display of Expiration Date
The expiration date of OMB approval will be displayed on all the forms.
18. Exceptions to Certification Statement
EIA takes no exception to the certification statement in item 19 of the OMB Form 83-I.

13
