clarity of the information to be

burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.
DATES: Comments regarding this
proposed information collection must
be received on or before February 29,
2016. If you anticipate difficulty in
submitting comments within that
period, contact the person listed in
ADDRESSES as soon as possible.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to
Benjamin Nussdorf. To ensure receipt of
the comments by the due date,
submission by email
(benjamin.nussdorf@hq.doe.gov) is
recommended. The mailing address is

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
information collection request contains:
(1) OMB No.: 1901–0294;
(2) Information Collection Request
Title: Natural Gas Import and Export
Application;
(3) Type of Request: Revision;
(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 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 near and longer term
domestic demands.
The EIA, as part of its effort to comply
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), provides
the general public and other Federal
agencies with opportunities to comment
on collections of energy information
conducted by or in conjunction with the
EIA. Also, the EIA will later seek

approval by the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) under Section
3507(a) of the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995.
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
providing basic information on the
scope and nature of the proposed
import/export activity. Once an
importer or exporter receives
authorization from FE, they are required
to submit monthly reports of all import
and export transactions. Form FE–746R
collects critical information on U.S.
natural gas trade including: Name of
importer/exporter; country of origin/
destination; international point of entry/
exit; name of supplier; volume; price;
transporter; geographic market served;
and duration of supply contract on a
monthly basis. The data, published in
Natural Gas Imports and Exports, are
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;
(4a) Proposed Changes to Information
Collection:
FE proposes to add the following
reporting sections for the collection and
identification of new types of natural
gas transactions related to:
(a) Exports/imports of compressed
natural gas by vessel;
(b) Exports/imports of compressed
natural gas by rail;
(c) Exports/imports of compressed
natural gas by waterborne transport;
(d) Exports/imports of liquefied
natural gas by rail;
(e) Exports/imports of liquefied
natural gas by waterborne transport;
(f) Other exports and imports of
natural gas by rail, truck, vessel, and
waterborne transport;
(g) Re-export of liquefied natural gas
by vessel; and
(h) Exports/Imports of liquefied
natural gas by vessel in International
Standards Organization (ISO)
containers;
(5) Annual Estimated Number of
Respondents: 371;
(6) Annual Estimated Number of
Total Responses: 4,662;

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 249 / Tuesday, December 29, 2015 / Notices
(7) Annual Estimated Number of
Burden Hours: 14,266; and
(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Cost Burden: There are
no additional costs associated with the
surveys other than the burden hours.
The information is maintained in the
normal course of business. The cost of
burden hours to the respondents is
estimated to be $1,026,724 (14,266
burden hours times $71.97 per hour).
Therefore, other than the cost of burden
hours, FE estimates that there are no
additional costs for generating,
maintaining and providing the
information.
