Request for Comments DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Energy Information Administration I. Background Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; Comment Request The Federal Energy Administration Act of 1974 (Pub. L. 93–275, 15 U.S.C. 761 et seq.) and the DOE Organization Act (Pub. L. 95–91, 42 U.S.C. 7101 et seq.) require the EIA to carry out a centralized, comprehensive, and unified energy information program. This program collects, evaluates, assembles, analyzes, and disseminates information on energy resource reserves, production, demand, technology, and related economic and statistical information. This information is used to assess the adequacy of energy resources to meet both near and longer-term domestic demands. The EIA, as part of its effort to comply with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), provides the general public and other Federal agencies with opportunities to comment on the collection of energy information conducted by or in conjunction with the EIA. Any comments help the EIA Energy Information Administration (EIA), Department of Energy (DOE). ACTION: Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; Comment Request. rmajette on PROD1PC64 with NOTICES AGENCY: SUMMARY: The EIA is soliciting comments on the proposed revision and 3-year extension of the surveys in the Natural Gas Data Collection Program Package. The surveys covered by this request include: • Form EIA–176, ‘‘Annual Report of Natural and Supplemental Gas Supply and Disposition’’ • EIA–191, ‘‘Monthly and Annual Underground Gas Storage Report’’ • EIA–857, ‘‘Monthly Report of Natural Gas Purchases and Deliveries to Consumers’’ VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:36 Apr 01, 2008 Jkt 214001 PO 00000 Frm 00017 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 prepare data requests that maximize the utility of the information collected and assess the impact of collection requirements on the public. As required by section 3507(h)(1) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the EIA will later seek approval for this collection by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The natural gas surveys included in the Natural Gas Data Collection Program Package collect information on natural gas production, underground storage, supply, processing, transmission, distribution, consumption by sector, and wellhead and consumer prices. This information is used to support public policy analyses of the natural gas industry and estimates generated from data collected on these surveys. The statistics generated from these surveys are posted to the EIA Web site (https:// www.eia.doe.gov) in various EIA products, including the Weekly Natural Gas Storage Report (WNGSR), Natural Gas Monthly (NGM), Natural Gas Annual (NGA), Monthly Energy Review (MER), Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO), Annual Energy Outlook (AEO), and Annual Energy Review (AER). Respondents to EIA natural gas surveys include State agencies, underground storage operators, transporters, marketers, and distributors. Each form included as part of this package is discussed in detail below. Please refer to the proposed forms and instructions for more information about the purpose, who must report, when to report, where to submit, the elements to be reported, detailed instructions, provisions for confidentiality, and uses (including possible nonstatistical uses) of the information. For instructions on obtaining materials, see the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section. II. Current Actions EIA will be requesting a 3-year extension of the collection authority for each of the above-referenced surveys and will have minor changes made to the forms and instructions to provide simplicity and clarity. In addition, EIA proposes the changes outlined below. Form EIA–176, ‘‘Annual Report of Natural and Supplemental Gas Supply and Disposition’’ In Part 6 of the form, EIA proposes to collect ‘‘Revenue’’ data for deliveries of natural gas that are transported but not owned by the delivery company in item 11. This change will create consistency within the form, as item 10 (deliveries owned) currently includes ‘‘Revenue’’ among the collected data. By collecting Revenue for the gas transported but not owned by the EIA–176 respondents, the E:\FR\FM\02APN1.SGM 02APN1
