DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Energy Information Administration
Agency Information Collection
Proposed Extension
U.S. Energy Information
Administration (EIA), Department of
Energy (DOE).
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:

EIA invites public comment
on the proposed three-year extension,
with changes, to the Petroleum Supply
Reporting System (PSRS), as required by
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
The PSRS consists of six weekly surveys
that make up the Weekly Petroleum
Supply Reporting System (WPSRS),
eight monthly surveys that make up the
Monthly Petroleum Supply Reporting
System (MPSRS), and one annual
survey. EIA uses WPSRS surveys to
collect data from a sample of operators
on input, production, imports, and
inventory levels of crude oil,
hydrocarbon gas liquids, petroleum
products, and biofuels. EIA uses MPSRS
surveys to collect data from all in-scope
operators on input, production, imports,
biofuel feedstocks consumed, refinery
capacity, biofuel plant production
capacity, fuels consumed in plant
operations, and annual storage capacity
of crude oil, hydrocarbon gas liquids
petroleum products, and biofuels. EIA
uses annual Form EIA–820 to collect
data on refinery capacity, refinery fuels
and feedstocks consumed, and the
quantity of crude oil received by
method of transportation.
DATES: EIA must receive all comments
on this proposed information collection
no later than July 5, 2022. If you
anticipate any difficulties in submitting
your comments by the deadline, contact
the person listed in the ADDRESSES

section of this notice as soon as
possible.
ADDRESSES: Submit comments
electronically to
[email protected] or mail
comments to Michael Conner,
Petroleum and Biofuel Supply Statistics
Team, EI–23, U.S. Energy Information
Administration, Forrestal Building,
1000 Independence Ave. SW,
Washington, DC 20585.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If
you need additional information,
contact Michael Conner, U.S. Energy
Information Administration, telephone
(202) 586–1795, or by email at
[email protected]. The
forms and instructions are available on
EIA’s website at www.eia.gov/survey/.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Comments
are invited on whether or not: (a) The
proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
agency functions, including whether the
information will have a practical utility;
(b) EIA’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used, is
accurate; (c) EIA can improve the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information it will collect; and (d) EIA
can minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, such as automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
This information collection request
contains:
(1) OMB No.: 1905–0165;
(2) Information Collection Request
Title: Petroleum Supply Reporting
System (PSRS);
(3) Type of Request: Three-year
extension with changes;
(4) Purpose: The surveys included in
the PSRS collect information, that is
largely unavailable from other sources,
on production, input, inventory levels,
imports, inter-regional movements, and
fuels and feedstocks consumed for plant
operation, for crude oil, hydrocarbon
gas liquids, petroleum products, and
biofuels. PSRS surveys also collect
storage capacities for crude oil,
hydrocarbon gas liquids, petroleum
products, and biofuels, refinery
capacities, biofuel production
capacities, and biofuel feedstocks
consumed.
EIA requires data from PSRS surveys
to meet requirements of energy data
users for credible, reliable, and timely
energy information. EIA uses PSRS
survey data in statistical reports
including, but not limited to, the
Weekly Petroleum Status Report
(WPSR), Petroleum Supply Monthly

(PSM), and the Monthly Energy Review
(MER). EIA uses PSRS survey data to
support analysis and projection work
with results reported in the Short Term
Energy Outlook (STEO), Annual Energy
Outlook (AEO), and other reports. EIA
makes reports available at https://
www.eia.gov/. EIA also uses PSRS data
to complete monthly and annual reports
of U.S. petroleum and biofuel supplies
to the International Energy Agency to
support U.S. participation as an IEA
member county. In some cases, agencies
outside of EIA publish data sourced
from PSRS surveys in their own reports.
For example Bioenergy Statistics
reported by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture.
Data from PSRS surveys provide data
to inform policy and business decisions,
the data promote efficient markets by
providing transparency to petroleum
and biofuel supplies. Use of PSRS data
by academic researchers, educators,
news media, and the general public
promotes understanding of energy and
its interaction with the economy and the
environment.
(4a) Proposed Changes to Information
Collection:
Form EIA–800 Weekly Refinery
Report
• Change survey instructions to
require reporting production of propane
and propylene fractionated from still gas
whether fractionation takes place at the
refinery or at a facility downstream of
the refinery. This change is needed to
more completely account for the
quantity of propane and propylene
supplied, particularly as petrochemical
feedstock. The current practice of
reporting still gas shipped from
refineries as still gas (not reported
weekly on Form EIA–800) when the still
gas will ultimately be fractionated into
product components overstates supply
of still gas (implying use as plant fuel)
and understates supply of propane and
propylene.
• Change the ‘‘Who Must Submit’’
part of survey instructions to include
reporting by non-refinery operators of
distillation, reforming, cracking, coking,
hydrotreating, and similar processes.
This change is needed in order for EIA
to capture complete data on operations
of process units commonly associated
with oil refineries but operated at nonrefinery facilities such as natural gas
liquids fractionation plants.
• Discontinue collecting propane
production, propane stocks, and total
natural gas liquids (NGL) stocks at NGL
fractionators. NGL fractionators that
hold stocks will report on the new Form
EIA–806 Weekly Natural Gas Liquids
Report. Rename Form EIA–800 from

VerDate Sep<11>2014

18:02 May 05, 2022

Jkt 256001

Weekly Refinery and Fractionator
Report to Weekly Refinery Report.
Form EIA–805 Weekly Bulk Terminal
Report
• Add a product line for bulk
terminal operators to report stocks of
propane that meet at least the minimum
specifications to be classified as
consumer-grade propane (product code
626). The added product detail for
consumer-grade propane will add
transparency to propane supplies by
showing separate stock levels of
consumer-grade propane readily
available for consumption and propane
held as a component of product mixes
where the propane requires processing
through a fractionator or other unit
before being consumed as propane. At
present, EIA stock levels for propane do
not differentiate between consumergrade and higher grades of propane that
are ready for use and propane contained
as a component of a product mix.
Form EIA–806 Weekly Natural Gas
Liquids Report
EIA proposes to add Form EIA–806
Weekly Natural Gas Liquids Report to
the WPSRS. Form EIA–806 will be the
weekly counterpart to Form EIA–816
Monthly Natural Gas Liquids Report.
When implemented, EIA will use data
from Form EIA–806 to report weekly
total production of natural gas liquids
(NGL), propane production from natural
gas processing, and propane and NGL
stocks held by operators of natural gas
processing plants and NGL
fractionators.
Current EIA weekly reporting practice
is to use Form EIA–800 to collect
production of propane from natural gas
processing equal to barrels of propane
fractionated from mixed NGL by
operators of NGL fractionators.
Operators of NGL fractionators also
report ending stocks of total NGL and
propane on Form EIA–800. EIA intends
to replace current reporting by NGL
fractionators on NGL fractionators on
Form EIA–800 with reports submitted
by operators of natural gas processing
plants that produce and/or hold stocks,
and operators of NGL fractionation
plants that hold stocks.
With Form EIA–806, EIA proposes to
collect the total quantity of natural gas
liquids produced weekly by operators of
natural gas processing plants. Weekly
total NGL production is unavailable
from current data collected on Form
EIA–800. In addition, collecting weekly
data from operators of natural gas
processing plants allows EIA to improve
consistency of weekly and monthly
regional propane production by
reporting weekly propane production in

PO 00000

Frm 00058

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

27139

the region of the producing natural gas
processing plant as is done in monthly
data, rather than in the region where a
fractionator operator separated propane
from mixed NGL.
EIA proposes to collect total NGL
stocks held by operators of natural gas
processing plants and NGL
fractionators. EIA will use plant-level
NGL product composition data reported
on Form EIA–816 to allocate total
production and stocks reported weekly
on Form EIA–806 to propane and other
NGL products. EIA will allocate total
NGL production and stocks reported
weekly on Form EIA–806 to propane
and other NGL current composition
data, since this data is likely to be
unavailable to plant operators in time to
report weekly (i.e., weekly reports due
to EIA by 5:00 p.m. eastern time on
Monday with data for the week ended
at 7:00 a.m. eastern time the previous
Friday).
Form EIA–810
Report

Monthly Refinery

• Change the ‘‘Who Must Submit’’
part of survey instructions to include
reporting by non-refinery operators of
distillation, reforming, cracking, coking,
hydrotreating, and similar processes.
This change is needed in order for EIA
to capture complete data on operations
of process units commonly associated
with oil refineries but operated at nonrefinery facilities such as natural gas
liquids fractionation plants.
• Change the label for product code
207 from the current ‘‘Other renewable
fuels and intermediate products’’ to
‘‘Other Biofuels and Biointermediates’’
not elsewhere specified or indicated.
This change is to make the Form EIA–
810 product label consistent with
terminology used in EIA, other
government agencies, and the biofuel
industry.
• Change survey instructions to
require reporting production of natural
gas liquids (ethane, propane, normal
butane, and isobutane) and refinery
olefins (ethylene, propylene, normal
butylene, isobutylene) on a product
basis when the products are fractionated
from still gas whether fractionation
takes place at the refinery or at a facility
downstream of the refinery. This change
is needed to more completely account
for quantities supplied of natural gas
liquids and refinery olefins on a product
basis, particularly for use as
petrochemical feedstock. The current
practice of reporting still gas shipped
from refineries as still gas when the still
gas will ultimately be fractionated into
product components overstates supply
of still gas (implying use as plant fuel)

and understates supply of natural gas
liquids and refinery olefin products.

Form EIA–815 Monthly Bulk
Terminal Report
• Change the label for product code
207 from the current ‘‘Other renewable
fuels and intermediate products’’ to
‘‘Other Biofuels and Biointermediates’’
not elsewhere specified or indicated.
This change is to make the Form EIA–
815 product label consistent with
terminology used in EIA, other
government agencies, and the biofuel
industry.
• Add a product line for bulk
terminal operators to report stocks of
propane that meet at least the minimum
specifications to be classified as
consumer-grade propane (product code
626). The added product detail for
consumer-grade propane will add
transparency to propane supplies by
showing separate stock levels of
consumer-grade propane readily
available for consumption and propane
held as a component of product mixes
where the propane requires processing
through a fractionator or other unit
before being consumed as propane. At
present, EIA stock levels for propane do
not differentiate between consumergrade and higher grades of propane that
are ready for use and propane contained
as a component of a product mix.
Form EIA–816 Monthly Natural Gas
Liquids Report
Add a separate product line for
operators of natural gas processing
plants to report plant condensate
(product code 210) as a product separate
from natural gasoline (product code
220). Plant condensate and natural
gasoline are separate products of natural
gas processing plants with different
uses, but the current Form EIA–816
combines the two products under the
natural gasoline label. Natural gasoline
is normally used either for blending into
gasoline, as petrochemical feedstock, or
exported. Plant condensate is usually
either blended into crude oil or
exported. Reporting plant condensate as
a product separate from natural gasoline
will provide greater transparency to
supplies of both NGL and crude oil.
This change will also make reporting on
Form EIA–816 consistent, in terms of
the products reported, with Form EIA–
64A Annual Report of the Origin of
Natural Gas Liquids.
Form EIA–817 Monthly Tanker and
Barge Movements Report

terminology used in EIA, other
government agencies, and the biofuel
industry.
