Meeting Agenda: The NCFMEA will
review the standards of accreditation
applied to medical schools by several
foreign countries to determine whether
those standards are comparable to the
standards of accreditation applied to
medical schools in the United States
and/or reports previously requested of
countries by the NCFMEA. Discussion
of the standards of accreditation will be
held in sessions open to the public.
Discussions resulting in specific
determinations of comparability are
closed to the public in order that each
country may be properly notified of the
decision.
The countries scheduled to be
discussed at the meeting include
Canada, Dominica, Grenada, Nevis, and
Saba. The meeting agenda, as well as the
staff analyses pertaining to the meeting
will be posted on the Department of
Education’s web site prior to the
meeting at the following address:
https://www2.ed.gov/about/bdscomm/
list/ncfmea.html.
Reasonable Accommodations: The
meeting site is accessible to individuals
with disabilities. If you will need an
auxiliary aid or service to participate in
the meeting (e.g., interpreting service,
assistive listening device, or materials in
an alternate format), notify the contact
person listed in this notice by March 23,
2012, although we will attempt to meet
a request received after that date.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
information collection request contains:
(1) OMB No. 1905–0174;
(2) Information Collection Request
Title: Petroleum Marketing Program;
(3) Type of Request: Renewal with
change;
(4) Purpose:
The Federal Energy Administration
Act of 1974 (15 U.S.C. §§ 761 et seq.)
and the DOE Organization Act (42
U.S.C. §§ 7101 et seq.) require 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 near and longer term
domestic demands.
EIA, as part of its effort to comply
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.), provides
the general public and other Federal
agencies with opportunities to comment
on collections of energy information
conducted by or in conjunction with
EIA. Also, EIA will later seek approval
for this collection by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) under
Section 3507(a) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995.
EIA’s petroleum marketing survey
forms collect volumetric and price
information needed for determining the
supply of and demand for crude oil and
refined petroleum products. These
surveys provide a basic set of data
pertaining to the structure, efficiency,
and behavior of petroleum markets.
These data are published by EIA on its
Web site, https://www.eia.gov, as well as
in publications such as the Monthly
Energy Review (https://www.eia.gov/
totalenergy/data/monthly/), Annual
Energy Review (https://www.eia.gov/

Outlook (https://www.eia.gov/forecasts/

(4a) Proposed Changes to Information
Collection:
EIA will be requesting a three-year
extension of approval to continue
collecting ten petroleum marketing
surveys (Forms EIA–14, EIA–182, EIA–
782A, EIA–782C, EIA–821, EIA–856,
EIA–863, EIA–877, EIA–878, and EIA–
888) with the only substantive changes
to the survey forms and instructions
being the elimination of collecting
information on No. 2 diesel fuel lowsulfur categories on Forms EIA–782A,
EIA–821 and EIA–888. EIA proposes not
to collect information on No. 2 diesel
fuel sales through company operated
outlets for diesel fuel with sulfur
content of >15 and <=500 ppm on Form
EIA–782A, and the category OnHighway Diesel Fuel use with sulfur
content of >15 and <=500 ppm on Form
EIA–821. EIA proposes not to collect
price information for on-highway low
sulfur diesel fuel on Form EIA–888. The
proposed form changes are necessary
because regulations issued by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency
prohibit the sale of low sulfur No. 2
diesel fuel with sulfur content of >15
and <=500 ppm for on-highway use. EIA
does not seek renewal of the Form EIA–
782B, ‘‘Resellers’/Retailers’ Monthly
Petroleum Product Sales Report’’ as part
of this information collection. EIA
suspended the use of Form EIA–782B in
May, 2011, due to resource constraints
and notified the respondents in the
reporting sample by letter dated May 23,
2011 that they were no longer required
to file this report.
Information Collection Burden
Estimates
(5) Annual Estimated Number of
Respondents: 11,953 Respondents;
(6) Annual Estimated Number of
Total Responses: 106,661 Responses per
year;
(7) Annual Estimated Number of
Burden Hours: 56,186 hours per year;
(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Cost Burden: EIA
estimates that there are no additional
costs to respondents associated with the
surveys other than the costs associated
with the burden hours.

The Federal Energy Administration Act of 1974 (15 U.S.C. Sec. Sec.

diesel fuel low-sulfur categories on Forms EIA-782A, EIA-821 and EIA-
888. EIA proposes not to collect information on No. 2 diesel fuel sales
through company operated outlets for diesel fuel with sulfur content of
>15 and <=500 ppm on Form EIA-782A, and the category On-Highway Diesel
Fuel use with sulfur content of >15 and <=500 ppm on Form EIA-821. EIA
proposes not to collect price information for on-highway low sulfur
diesel fuel on Form EIA-888. The proposed form changes are necessary
because regulations issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
prohibit the sale of low sulfur No. 2 diesel fuel with sulfur content
of >15 and <=500 ppm for on-highway use. EIA does not seek renewal of
the Form EIA-782B, ``Resellers'/Retailers' Monthly Petroleum Product
Sales Report'' as part of this information collection. EIA suspended
the use of Form EIA-782B in May, 2011, due to resource constraints and
notified the respondents in the reporting sample by letter dated May
23, 2011 that they were no longer required to file this report.
