SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: Making Ends Meet
Survey.
OMB Control Number: 3170–0066.
Type of Review: Request for approval
of a generic information collection
under an existing Generic Information
Collection Plan.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.

Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 1,263.
Abstract: Under the Dodd-Frank Wall
Street Reform and Consumer Protection
Act, the Consumer Financial Protection
Bureau is charged with researching,
analyzing, and reporting on topics
relating to the Bureau’s mission,
including consumer behavior, consumer
awareness, and developments in
markets for consumer financial products
and services. To improve its
understanding of how consumers
engage with financial markets, the
Bureau has successfully used the
Consumer Credit Panel (CCP), a
proprietary sample dataset from one of
the national credit reporting agencies, as
a frame to survey people about their
experiences in consumer credit markets.
This series of surveys solicits
information on the consumer’s
experience related to household
financial shocks, particularly shocks
related to the economic effects of the
COVID–19 pandemic, how households
respond to those shocks, and the role of
savings to help provide a financial
buffer. Additional topics in this round
of the survey include debt collection,

healthcare, housing, and financial
decision-making, attitudes, and
perspectives. The survey will go to a
new random sample of consumers from
the CCP. All research under this
collection will be related to the
household balance sheet, and, thus, will
be for general, formative, and
informational research on consumer
financial markets and consumers’ use of
financial products and will not directly
provide the basis for specific
policymaking at the Bureau.
Request for Comments: The Bureau is
publishing this notice and soliciting
comments directed to the Office of
management and Budget on: (a)
Whether the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Bureau, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (b) The accuracy of the
Bureau’s estimate of the burden of the

extension as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. The information
collection requests a three-year
extension of its Oil and Gas Reserves
System Surveys, OMB No. 1905–0057:
Extension without changes of Form
EIA–64A, Annual Report of the Origin
of Natural Gas Liquids Production;
Revision of Form EIA–23L, Annual
Report of Domestic Oil and Gas
Reserves, County Level Report; and
continued suspension of Form EIA–23S,
Annual Survey of Domestic Oil and Gas
Reserves, Summary Level Report. Form
EIA–23L is the only form that EIA
proposes to change. There are no
proposed changes to Forms EIA–64A
and EIA–23S. The proposed collection
will be used to prepare electronic
annual reports of U.S. proved reserves
data that fulfill EIA’s congressional
mandate to provide accurate annual
estimates of U.S. proved crude oil and
natural gas reserves. The U.S.
Government also uses the resulting
information in EIA’s reports to develop
national and regional estimates of
proved reserves of domestic crude oil
and natural gas to facilitate national
energy policy decisions.
DATES: Comments on this information
collection must be received no later
than July 6, 2022. If you anticipate that
you will be submitting comments but
find it difficult to do so within the

(3) Type of Request: Three-year
extension with changes; revision of the
currently approved Form EIA–23L;
extension without changes of Form
EIA–64A; and continued suspension of
collection of the currently approved
Form EIA–23S;
(4) Purpose: In response to Public Law
95–91 Section 657, estimates of U.S. oil
and gas reserves are to be reported
annually. Many U.S. government
agencies have an interest in proved oil
and gas reserves and the quality,
reliability, and usefulness of reserves
estimates. Among these are the U.S.
Energy Information Administration
(EIA), Department of Energy; Bureau of
Ocean Energy Management (BOEM),
Department of Interior; Internal Revenue
Service (IRS), Department of the
Treasury; and the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC). Each of
these organizations has specific
purposes for collecting, using, or
estimating proved reserves. EIA has a
congressional mandate to provide
accurate annual estimates of U.S.
proved crude oil, natural gas, and
natural gas liquids reserves, and EIA
presents annual reserves data in EIA
reports to meet this requirement. The
BOEM maintains estimates of proved
reserves to carry out their
responsibilities in leasing, collecting
royalty payments, and regulating the
activities of oil and gas companies on
Federal lands and water. Accurate
reserve estimates are important, as the
BOEM is second only to the IRS in
generating Federal revenue. For the IRS,
proved reserves and occasionally
probable reserves are an essential
component of calculating taxes for
companies owning or producing oil and
gas. The SEC requires publicly traded
petroleum companies to annually file a
reserves statement as part of their 10–K
filing. The basic purpose of the 10–K
filing is to provide public investors with
a clear and reliable financial basis to
assess the relative value, as a financial
asset, of a company’s reserves,
especially in comparison to other
similar oil and gas companies. The
Government also uses the resulting
information to develop national and
regional estimates of proved reserves of
domestic crude oil and natural gas to
facilitate national energy policy
decisions. These estimates are essential
to the development, implementation,
and evaluation of energy policy and
legislation. Data are used directly in EIA
Web reports concerning U.S. crude oil
and natural gas reserves, and are
incorporated into a number of other
Web reports and analyses;
(4a) Changes to Information
Collection: EIA proposes to make the

VerDate Sep<11>2014

18:40 Jun 03, 2022

Jkt 256001

following changes to Form EIA–23L,
Annual Report of Domestic Oil and Gas
Reserves:
• Schedule A of Form EIA–23L,
which collected annual proved reserves
and production data for four fuel types
(crude oil, associated-dissolved natural
gas, non-associated natural gas, and
lease condensate) on a county-level
basis will be changed to collect annual
proved reserves and production data for
two fuel types (crude oil plus lease
condensate, and total natural gas) on a
state/state subdivision-level basis.
• Schedule A of Form EIA–23L,
which used three reservoir type codes
(C—conventional, LP—low
permeability, and SH—shale) to
subdivide county-level proved reserves
data within Schedule A will be changed
to two separate report parts: Parts 4 and
5.
Æ Part 4 will list the combined total
of annual proved reserves and
production data on a state- and state
subdivision-level basis
Æ Part 5 will separately list that
portion of annual proved reserves and
production sourced only from shale
reservoirs on a state- and state
subdivision-level basis.
• A fillable spreadsheet version of the
new Form EIA–23L will replace the
current PDF version of Form EIA–23L
and its E-file software (the Reserves
Information Gathering System (RIGS).
Comments and Feedback are
requested on these proposed changes to
Form EIA–23L;
(5) Annual Estimated Number of
Respondents: Forms EIA–23L/23S/64A:
1,100;
(6) Annual Estimated Number of
Total Responses: Forms EIA–23L/23S/
64A: 1,100;
(7) Annual Estimated Number of
Burden Hours: 19,100 hours;
Form EIA–23L Annual Survey of
Domestic Oil and Gas Reserves, State/
State Subdivision report: 31 hours
average per response (500 operators):
15,500 hours total.
Form EIA–23S Annual Survey of
Domestic Oil and Gas Reserves,
Summary Level Report: 0 hours
(Currently suspended).
Form EIA–64A Annual Report of the
Origin of Natural Gas Liquids
Production: 6 hours (600 natural gas
plant operators): 3,600 hours total.
(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Cost Burden: Forms
EIA–23L/23S/64A: EIA estimates that
there are no capital and start-up costs
associated with this data collection. The
information is maintained in the normal
course of business. The cost of burden
hours to the respondents is estimated to
be $1,592,558 (19,100 burden hours

times $83.38 per hour). Therefore, other
than the cost of burden hours, EIA
estimates that there are no additional
costs for generating, maintaining and
providing the information.
