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 with changes for
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 done by FE.
DATES: Comments regarding this
proposed information collection must
be received on or before June 9, 2016.
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

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 with changes;
(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. Also, the EIA will later seek
approval by the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) under section
3507(a) of the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995.
DOE’s Office of Fossil Energy (FE) is
authorized to regulate natural gas
imports and exports and require the
filing of reports under section 3 of the
Natural Gas Act of 1938 and 15 U.S.C.
717b. In order to carry out its statutory
responsibility, FE requires those persons
seeking to import or export natural gas
to file an application and provide 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;
transporter; geographic market 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

PO 00000

Frm 00031

Fmt 4703

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
international natural gas trade;
(4a) FE proposes to add the following
reporting sections. These sections will
serve only to clarify the reporting and
will not add data elements to the
reporting burden. The current forms
authorization holders use to report their
data does not properly align with the
modes of transportation used, or the
products being exported and imported.
While there are new forms being added,
these forms will be a direct substitute
for the current forms for applicable
authorization holders. These sections
are for the collection and identification
of new types of natural gas transactions
related to:
(a) Exports/imports of compressed
natural gas by vessel;
a. Current form does not cover
compressed natural gas by vessel,
(b) Exports/imports of compressed
natural gas by rail;
a. Current form does not cover
compressed natural gas by rail,
(c) Exports/imports of compressed
natural gas by waterborne transport;
a. Current form does not cover
compressed natural gas by waterborne
transport,
(d) Exports/imports of liquefied
natural gas by rail;
a. Current form does not cover
exports/imports by rail,
(e) Exports/imports of liquefied
natural gas by waterborne transport;
a. Current form does not cover
exports/imports by waterborne
transport,
(f) Other exports and imports of
natural gas by rail, truck, vessel, and
waterborne transport;
a. Current form does not cover nonliquefied natural gas or pipeline gas
exports/imports,
(g) Re-export of liquefied natural gas
by vessel;
a. Current form does not cover reexport of liquefied natural gas
(h) Exports/Imports of liquefied
natural gas by vessel in International
Standards Organization (ISO)
containers.
a. Current form also does not cover
ISO containers
(5) Annual Estimated Number of
Respondents: 371;
(6) Annual Estimated Number of
Total Responses: 4,452;
(7) Annual Estimated Number of
Burden Hours: 13,356;

(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Cost Burden: There are
no additional costs associated with the
surveys other than the burden hours.
The information is maintained in the
normal course of business. The cost of
burden hours to the respondents is
estimated to be $961,899 (13,356 burden
hours times $72.02 per hour). Therefore,
other than the cost of burden hours, FE
estimates that there are no additional
costs for generating, maintaining and
providing the information.
Statutory Authority: Section 13(b) of the
Federal Energy Administration Act of 1974,
Public Law 93–275, codified at 15 U.S.C.
772(b) and section 3 of the Natural Gas Act
of 1938, codified at 15 U.S.C. 717b.
