 If you are not responsible for completing this form, please forward this letter to the appropriate person within your company and provide EIA with the name and email address for the appropriate contact person.         

 

Form EIA-805 is a sample-based survey and your company was selected to represent similar companies reporting data for the same products and geographic regions. Your company’s response to this survey is mandatory under 15 U.S.C. §772(b). The average burden per response for this form is approximately 1.60 hours.

 

The information reported on Form EIA-805 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(b), and the Trade Secrets Act, 18 U.S.C. §1905.

Timely and accurate reporting is essential for EIA to accomplish its mission. Weekly reports are due to the EIA no later than 5:00 p.m. ET on the Monday following the end of the report period. For example, data for week ending <DATE> are due by Monday 5:00 p.m. ET Monday, <DATE>. Completed forms can be submitted over the Internet via secure file transfer or via PEDRO. 

 

Estimates based on data collected through Form EIA-805 are published in many EIA products, including the Weekly Petroleum Status Report. Congress, Federal and State governments, and the private sector use this data for analysis of industry trends and for strategic planning purposes.  EIA petroleum data products can be found on the EIA website at http://www.eia.doe.gov/oil_gas/petroleum/info_glance/petroleum.html.

 

Thank you in advance for your time and effort in completing Form EIA-805 each week going forward, starting next week.
