SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
information collection request contains:
(1) OMB No. 1905–0174; (2) Information
Collection Request Title: Petroleum
Marketing Program; (3) Type of Request:
revision of a currently approved
collection; (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 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.
EIA, as part of its effort to comply
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.), provides
the general public and other Federal
agencies with opportunities to comment
on collections of energy information
conducted by or in conjunction with
EIA. Also, EIA will later seek approval
for this collection by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) under
Section 3507(a) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995.
EIA’s petroleum marketing survey
forms collect volumetric and price
information needed for determining the
supply of and demand for crude oil and
refined petroleum products. These
surveys provide a basic set of data
pertaining to the structure, efficiency,
and behavior of petroleum markets.
These data are published by EIA on its
Web site, http://www.eia.gov, as well as
in publications such as the Monthly
Energy Review (http://www.eia.gov/
totalenergy/data/monthly/), Annual
Energy Review (http://www.eia.gov/
totalenergy/data/annual/), Petroleum
Marketing Monthly (http://www.eia.gov/

Report (http://www.eia.gov/oil_gas/

and the International Energy Outlook
(http://www.eia.gov/forecasts/ieo/); (4a)
Proposed Changes to Information

‘‘Winter Heating Fuels Telephone
Survey’’ to additional states; (2) Expand
the Winter Heating Fuels Telephone
Survey (EIA-877) from 24 to 34 states
and continue collection of data from
October through mid-March. This
survey collects weekly data on retail
prices of No. 2 heating oil and propane.
These data are used to assess hardships
experienced by heating oil and propane
users during periods of critical short
supplies. The survey is a cooperative
data collection effort between EIA and
the states participating in the survey; (5)
Annual Estimated Number of
Respondents: 12,203 Respondents; (6)

additional costs to respondents
associated with the surveys other than
the costs associated with the burden
hours.

to meet both near- and longer-term
domestic demands.
EIA, as part of its effort to comply
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (Pub. L. 104–13, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et
seq.), provides the general public and
other Federal agencies with
opportunities to comment on the
collection of energy information
conducted by or in conjunction with
EIA. Comments help EIA prepare data
requests that maximize the utility of the
information collected and assess the
impact of collection requirements on the
public. As required by section
3507(h)(1) of the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995, EIA will later seek approval
for this collection by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB).
The natural gas surveys included in
the Natural Gas Data Collection Program
Package collect information on natural
gas production, underground storage,
supply, processing, transmission,
distribution, consumption by sector,
and consumer prices. This information
is used to support public policy
analyses of the natural gas industry and
estimates generated from data collected
on these surveys. The statistics
generated from these surveys are posted
to the EIA Web site (http://www.eia.gov)
and in various EIA products, including
the Weekly Natural Gas Storage Report
(WNGSR), Natural Gas Monthly (NGM),
Natural Gas Annual (NGA), Monthly
Energy Review (MER), Short-Term
Energy Outlook (STEO), Annual Energy
Outlook (AEO), and Annual Energy
Review (AER). Respondents to EIA
natural gas surveys include
underground storage operators,
transporters, marketers, and
distributors. Each form included as part
of this package is discussed in detail
below.
Please refer to the proposed forms and
instructions for more information about
the purpose, who must report, when to
report, where to submit, the elements to
be reported, detailed instructions,
provisions for confidentiality, and uses
(including possible nonstatistical uses)
of the information. For instructions on
obtaining materials, see the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section.
EIA is requesting a three-year
extension of collection authority for
each of the above-referenced surveys
and will make minor changes to the
forms and instructions to provide
clarity. Data confidentiality procedures
for protecting the identifiability of
submitted data remain unchanged for all
forms with the exception of a portion of
Form EIA–191 as referenced below. In
addition, EIA is proposing the following
changes:
