Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Application, 11000-11001 [E5-909]

Download as PDF 11000 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 43 / Monday, March 7, 2005 / Notices will include operators with LNG inventories such as distribution companies, pipeline companies, liquefaction facilities, LNG wholesalers, and marine terminals providing peaking storage services. The survey coverage will not include LNG inventories held by any industrial, residential, commercial, or power generation operations for ultimate consumption. Respondents would be required to complete the EIA–913 Annual Schedule at the start of the survey and subsequently once a year in September thereafter and whenever a new facility begins operation or a change in storage operator or storage capacity occurs. The EIA would contact the respondents on the first Monday of the month or the first business day after the first Monday of the month in the event of a holiday. The aggregate data collected on the Form EIA–913 for the United States and several multi-state regions would be used to develop national and regional level estimates for publication in the NGM, MER, and NGA; no State level data would be published. EIA proposes that monthly respondent data would be treated as sensitive, proprietary information while respondent data from the annual schedule would not be confidential. III. Request for Comments Prospective respondents and other interested parties should comment on the actions discussed in items II and III. The following guidelines are provided to assist in the preparation of comments. Please indicate to which form(s) your comments apply. General Issues A. Is the proposed collection of information necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency and does the information have practical utility? Practical utility is defined as the actual usefulness of information to or for an agency, taking into account its accuracy, adequacy, reliability, timeliness, and the agency’s ability to process the information it collects. B. What enhancements can be made to the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected? As a Potential Respondent to the Request for Information A. Would burden be reduced if applicable data were collected in Btu (heat content) rather than Mcf basis (volumetric, as it is on some surveys)? B. Would burden be increased if EIA adopted a standard mandatory revision rule for its natural gas surveys requiring VerDate jul<14>2003 18:15 Mar 04, 2005 Jkt 205001 resubmission of data for revisions greater than 4 percent? C. Are the instructions and definitions clear and sufficient? If not, which instructions need clarification? D. Can the information be submitted by the due date? E. Public reporting burden for the surveys included in the Natural Gas Data Collection Program Package is shown below as an average hour(s) per response. The estimated burden includes the total time necessary to provide the requested information. In your opinion, how accurate is this estimate for the proposed forms? (1) Form EIA–176, ‘‘Annual Report of Natural and Supplemental Gas Supply and Disposition’’; 12 hours per response. (2) Form EIA–191A, ‘‘Annual Underground Gas Storage Report’’; 1 hour per response. (3) Form EIA–191M, ‘‘Monthly Underground Gas Storage Report’’; 2.5 hours per response. (4) Form EIA–857, ‘‘Monthly Report of Natural Gas Purchases and Deliveries to Consumers’’; 3.5 hours per response. (5) Form EIA–895, ‘‘Annual Quantity and Value of Natural Gas Production Report’’; .5 hours per response. (6) Form EIA–910, ‘‘Monthly Natural Gas Marketer Survey’’; 2 hours per response. (7) Form EIA–912, ‘‘Weekly Underground Natural Gas Storage Report’’; 0.5 hour per response. (8) Form EIA–913A, ‘‘Annual Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Storage Report’’; 1 hour per response. (9) Form EIA–913M, ‘‘Monthly (September–March) Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Storage Report’’; 0.5 hour per response. F. The agency estimates that the only cost to a respondent is for the time it will take to complete the collection. Will a respondent incur any start-up costs for reporting, or any recurring annual costs for operation, maintenance, and purchase of services associated with the information collection? G. What additional actions could be taken to minimize the burden of this collection of information? Such actions may involve the use of automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology. I. Does any other Federal, State, or local agency collect similar information? If so, specify the agency, the data element(s), and the methods of collection. As a Potential User of the Information To Be Collected A. Is the information useful at the levels of detail to be collected? PO 00000 Frm 00066 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 B. For what purpose(s) would the information be used? Be specific. C. Are there alternate sources for the information and are they useful? If so, what are their weaknesses and/or strengths? D. Would the information be more useful if published uniformly in Btu rather than volumetrically? Which is the perceived industry standard? Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized and/or included in the request for OMB approval of the form. They also will become a matter of public record.
