SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
information collection request contains:
(1) OMB No.: 1905–0057;
(2) Information Collection Request
Title: Oil and Gas Reserves System;
(3) Type of Request: Three-year
extension with changes;
(4) Purpose: EIA has a congressional
mandate to provide accurate annual
estimates of U.S. proved crude oil,
natural gas, and natural gas liquids
reserves. EIA presents annual reserves
data in EIA Web reports to meet this
requirement. This collected data and
EIA’s nationwide estimates are essential
to the development, implementation,
and evaluation of energy policy and
legislation. Data are used directly in EIA
web reports concerning U.S. crude oil,
natural gas, and natural gas liquids
reserves, and are incorporated into other
reports, including EIA’s Annual Energy
Review, Annual Energy Outlook, ShortTerm Energy Outlook, Petroleum Supply
Annual, and Natural Gas Annual.
EIA proposes to suspend the Form
EIA–23S, consolidate some if its
respondents into the Form EIA–23L,
and change the Form EIA–23L sampling
and estimation to streamline
administrative processes and to improve
data quality. The Form EIA–23L
sampling method will change from a
probability proportional to size (PPS)
method to a cut-off sample that excludes
the smallest respondents, who may lack
the resources to effectively report all
requested data, thus reducing the
potential for non-sampling error.
Procedures to estimate data published at
regional summary levels will be
adjusted to reflect the new sampling
method. The Form EIA–23L questions
will not change. The Form EIA–23L
instructions will be updated with the
current EIA definitions of terms used.
The Form EIA–64A is proposed to be
extended without changes.
(5) Annual Estimated Number of
Respondents: 1,450;
(6) Annual Estimated Number of
Total Responses: 1,450;
VerDate Mar<15>2010

(7) Annual Estimated Number of
Burden Hours: 43,650 hours;
(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Cost Burden: $0; EIA
estimates that there are no additional
costs to respondents associated with the
surveys other than the costs associated
with the burden hours.
Statutory Authority: Section 13(b) of the
Federal Energy Administration Act of 1974,
