2. Department of Energy
3. OMB Number 1901–0294
4. Three-year extension
5. Mandatory
6. DOE’s Office of Fossil Energy (FE)
is delegated the authority to regulate
natural gas imports and exports under
section 3 of the Natural Gas Act of 1938,
15 U.S.C. 717b. In order to carry out its
delegated responsibility, FE requires
those persons seeking to import or
export natural gas to file an application
containing the basic information about
the scope and nature of the proposed
import/export activity. Historically, FE
has collected information on a quarterly
and monthly basis regarding import and
export transactions. That information
has been used to ensure compliance
with the terms and conditions of the
authorizations. In addition, the data are
used to monitor North American gas
trade, which, in turn, enables the
Federal government to perform market
and regulatory analyses; improve the
capability of industry and the
government to respond to any future
energy-related supply problems; and
keep the general public informed of
international natural gas trade.
7. Business or other for-profit (or
other appropriate type of respondents).
8. There are 12,110 total burden
hours, and 325 total respondents. Shortterm and long term applications are
filed annually, and applicants who hold
authorizations file a monthly report.
