determining the supply of and demand
for crude oil and refined petroleum
products. PMP consists of 10 surveys
that collect data on petroleum products.
EIA uses this information to monitor
volumes and prices for crude oil and
petroleum products.
DATES: EIA must receive all comments

(1) OMB No.: 1905–0174;
(2) Information Collection Request
Title: Petroleum Marketing Program;
(3) Type of Request: Three year
extension with changes;
(4) Purpose: The surveys included in
the Petroleum Marketing Program
collect volume 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 website, at
https://www.eia.gov. The Petroleum
Marketing Program consists of the
following surveys:
Form EIA–14 Refiners’ Monthly Cost
Report;
Form EIA–182 Domestic Crude Oil
First Purchase Report;
Form EIA–782A Refiners’/Gas Plant
Operators’ Monthly Petroleum Product
Sales Report;
Form EIA–782C Monthly Report of

Form EIA–821 Annual Fuel Oil and
Kerosene Sales Report;
Form EIA–856 Monthly Foreign
Crude Oil Acquisition Report;
Form EIA–863 Petroleum Product
Sales Identification Survey;
Form EIA–877 Winter Heating Fuels
Telephone Survey;
Form EIA–878 Motor Gasoline Price
Survey;
Form EIA–888 On-Highway Diesel
Fuel Price Survey.;
(4a) Proposed Changes to Information
Collection:
Form EIA–888, On-Highway Diesel Fuel
Price Survey
EIA is proposing to collect annual
sales volumes of on-highway diesel fuel
on Form EIA–888, On-Highway Diesel
Fuel Price Survey. This survey collects
weekly retail on-highway diesel fuel
prices from a sample of truck stops and
service stations and publishes price
estimates at various regional levels and
the State of California. EIA is updating
its frame of retail diesel fuel outlets and
proposing to redesign the sample of
retail outlets using a new sample design.
The new sample will replace the current
sample that reports on Form EIA–888.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:14 Mar 25, 2021
Jkt 253001
EIA will continue to use Form EIA–888,
Schedule A to collect weekly prices
from the new sample and will use the
new Form EIA–888, Schedule B to
collect annual sales volume information
and station characteristics that will be
used to determine eligibility and size.
EIA will use annual sales volumes of
on-highway diesel fuel to determine the
measure of size used for weighting data
reported by the outlets selected in the
new sample and are collected one time
from newly sampled outlets.
Form EIA–878, Motor Gasoline Price
Survey
EIA proposes to modify Schedule B of
Form EIA–878, Motor Gasoline Price
Survey to further clarify the collection
of gasoline octane levels and ethanol
content by grade for annual gasoline
sales volumes. These volumes are used
to determine a measure of size used for
weighting data reported by the sampled
outlets and are collected one time from
newly sampled outlets.
Form EIA–877, Winter Heating Fuels
Telephone Survey
EIA proposes to collect residential
heating oil and propane prices on a
monthly basis during the off-heating
season (April to September) beginning
April 2023 on Form EIA–877, Winter
Heating Fuels Telephone Survey. This
survey collects weekly residential
heating oil and propane prices during
the heating season, October to March,
from a sample of retail outlets that sell
these heating fuels. EIA receives many
requests for EIA–877 summer prices
each year because many heating oil and
propane customers fill their tanks before
the winter heating season starts, when
prices are generally lower than during
the winter months. Collecting monthly
prices during the summer will meet the
needs of these customers, as well as
provide a data series for more
comprehensive EIA analysis on these
markets.
(5) Annual Estimated Number of
Respondents: 22,516;
(6) Annual Estimated Number of
Total Responses: 196,032;
(7) Annual Estimated Number of
Burden Hours: 63,226;
(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Cost Burden: $5,162,403
(63,226 annual burden hours multiplied
by $81.65 per hour). EIA estimates that
respondents will have no additional
costs associated with the surveys other
than the burden hours and the
maintenance of the information during
the normal course of business.
Comments are invited on whether or
not: (a) The proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper

performance of agency functions,
including whether the information will
have a practical utility; (b) EIA’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used, is accurate; (c) EIA
can improve the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information it will collect;
and (d) EIA can minimize the burden of
the collection of information on
respondents, such as automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
