an energy shortage or energy reliability
concern. The last collection by DOE

oil production, and costs of incremental
energy production, in order to
information Defense Production Act
decisions or orders. Id. The commenter
stated that knowing the capacity of the
industry as a whole by aggregating
potential production from various
companies would aid in allocation and
prioritization of any necessary energy
production under the Defense
Production Act. Id. This information is
already being collected by the Energy

to track the nation’s petroleum supply.
EIA surveys collect data on petroleum
refinery operations, blending, biofuels
production, natural gas liquids
production, inventory levels, imports,

applicants submitting Form DOE F 544.
Therefore, to avoid duplication, DOE
will not be revising Form DOE F 544.
