Abstract: Survey collects monthly company-level natural gas production in seven geographical areas (Texas (including State offshore), Louisiana (including State offshore), Oklahoma, New Mexico, Wyoming, Federal Gulf of Mexico offshore and Other States (defined as all remaining states, except Alaska, in which the operator produced natural gas during the report month)). The data are aggregated into state totals, which are published in the "Monthly Natural Gas Gross Production Report" on EIA's web site and in other EIA publications. Requested revision of the form includes extracting 14 of the states included in "Other States" and reporting aggregated company production for the states. Further, crude oil and lease condensate production for all the separate states, as well as the "Other States" category, will be collected. Reported state totals for crude oil production will be decomposed into 7 categories of API gravity, including "unknown."

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The burden for respondents to the proposed expanded Form EIA-914 increases because the survey gathers additional important information. The expansion of the data collection adding 14 additional states and the inclusion of crude oil and condensate also results in an increase in the number of sampled companies, thus increasing overall survey burden hours. For the Form EIA-914, EIA creates a single cutoff sample for the lower 48 states/areas for which natural gas production data are collected. However, this method is not efficient when applied to the proposed expanded survey, so EIA instead proposes to create 21 samples for each of the states/areas, including "Other States," based on natural gas production and 21 samples based on crude oil and lease condensate production.
