The Natural Gas Data Collection Program Package forms collect basic and detailed natural gas production, processing, transmission, storage, consumption and price data. The data are published by the Energy Information Administration and are used by both public and private analysts. Respondents include natural gas pipeline companies, distributors, storage operators, processing plant operators, and state agencies.

The increase in total burden hours are due to increases in respondents for four surveys in this ICR package. EIA-176 is adding 20 additional respondents. These respondents include Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) producers who inject high-Btu RNG into an interstate pipeline, intra-state pipeline, or natural gas distribution company system. The largest addition of burden comes from the creation of Form EIA-191L Monthly Liquefied Natural Gas Storage Report. This new survey will add 85 respondents. These respondents include peak shaving facilities and satellite LNG storage facilities. Form EIA–910 Monthly Natural Gas Marketer is adding 60 additional respondents to accommodate the increase in market participants in this particular section of the industry. EIA-912 Weekly Underground Natural Gas Storage Report is adding 5 additional respondents to address possible increases to survey sampling sizes. In the previous OMB clearance package, Form EIA-757 Natural Gas Processing Plant Survey Schedule A was incorrectly listed as a 0.6 hour burden survey, instead of a 0.5 hour burden survey, which previously inflated its burden estimate by a small increment.
