DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Energy Information Administration
Agency Information Collection
Extension
U.S. Energy Information
Administration (EIA), Department of
Energy.
ACTION: Notice and request for OMB
review and comment.
AGENCY:

The EIA has submitted an
information collection request to the
OMB for extension under the provisions
of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
The information collection requests a
three-year extension of Form FE–746R,
‘‘Natural Gas Imports and Exports,’’
OMB Control Number 1901–0294. The
proposed collection will support DOE’s
Office of Fossil Energy (FE) in the
collection of critical information on U.S.
natural gas trade. Data collected include
name of importer/exporter; country of
origin/destination; international point of
entry/exit; name of supplier; volume;
price; transporters; U.S. geographic
market(s) served; and duration of supply
contract on a monthly basis. The data,
published in Natural Gas Imports and
Exports, are used to monitor North
American gas trade, and to support
various market and regulatory analyses
performed by FE.
DATES: Comments regarding this
proposed information collection must
be received on or before May 29, 2013.
If you anticipate that you will be
submitting comments, but find it
difficult to do so within the period of
time allowed by this notice, please
advise the DOE Desk Officer at OMB of
your intention to make a submission as
soon as possible. The Desk Officer may
be telephoned at 202–395–4718.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should
be sent to the:
DOE Desk Officer, Office of Information

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
information collection request contains:
(1) OMB No.: 1901–0294; (2)
Information Collection Request Title:
Natural Gas Imports and Exports; (3)
Type of Request: Three-Year Extension;
(4) Purpose: The Federal Energy
Administration Act of 1974 (15 U.S.C.
761 et seq.) and the DOE Organization
Act (42 U.S.C. 7101 et seq.) require the
EIA to carry out a centralized,
comprehensive, and unified energy
information program. This program
collects, evaluates, assembles, analyzes,
and disseminates information on energy
resource reserves, production, demand,
technology, and related economic and
statistical information. This information
is used to assess the adequacy of energy
resources to meet near and longer term
domestic demands. The EIA, as part of
its effort to comply with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35), provides the general public
and other Federal agencies with
opportunities to comment on collections
of energy information conducted by or
in conjunction with the EIA.
DOE’s Office of Fossil Energy (FE) is
delegated the authority to regulate
natural gas imports and exports under
section 3 of the Natural Gas Act of 1938,
15 U.S.C. 717b. In order to carry out its
delegated responsibility, FE requires
those persons seeking to import or
export natural gas to file an application
providing basic information on the
scope and nature of the proposed
import/export activity. Once an
importer or exporter receives
authorization from FE, they are required
to submit monthly reports of all import
and export transactions. Form FE–746R
collects critical information on U.S.
natural gas trade including: name of
importer/exporter; country of origin/
destination; international point of entry/
exit; name of supplier; volume; price;
transporters; U.S. geographic market(s)
served; and duration of supply contract
on a monthly basis. The data, published
in Natural Gas Imports and Exports, are
used to ensure compliance with the
terms and conditions of the
authorizations. In addition, the data are
used to monitor North American gas
trade, which, in turn, enables the
Federal government to perform market
and regulatory analyses; improve the
capability of industry and the
government to respond to any future
energy-related supply problems; and
keep the general public informed of

surplus water or water power from a
government dam; or (4) if applicable,
has involved or would involve any
construction subsequent to 1935 that
may have increased or would increase
the project’s head or generating
capacity, or have otherwise significantly
