ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EIA invites public comment on the proposed three-year 
extension, with changes, to the Petroleum Marketing Program (PMP) as 
required under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. EIA's PMP collects 
volumetric and price information needed for determining the supply of 
and demand for crude oil and refined petroleum products. PMP consists 
of six 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 on this proposed information 
collection no later than August 5, 2024. If you anticipate any 
difficulty in submitting comments within that period, contact the 
person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section as soon as 
possible.

ADDRESSES: Written comments may only be sent electronically to 
[email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rosalyn Berry, U.S. Energy Information 
Administration, telephone (202) 586-2425, or by email at 
[email protected]. The forms and instructions are 
available on EIA's website at https://www.eia.gov/survey/notice/marketing2024.php.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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.
    This information collection request contains:
    (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-856 Monthly Foreign Crude Oil Acquisition Report;
    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 (Potential Change to 
Data Collection Form and Instructions)

    EIA proposes modifying Form EIA-888, On-Highway Diesel Fuel Price 
Survey, to include a checkbox allowing stations to indicate that they 
do not sell diesel fuel. This designation will make it easier to 
identify stations that are no longer in scope for the survey but are 
still in operation.
    (4b) Proposed Survey Discontinuations:
    EIA is requesting the discontinuation and removal of the following 
four surveys from the Petroleum Marketing Program:

Form EIA-863, Petroleum Product Sales Identification Survey

    The EIA-863, Petroleum Product Sales Identification Survey, has 
been

suspended since 2011, with the last completed survey cycle occurring 
for 2006 data. Surveys previously reliant on these data for sample 
design have implemented new sampling methodologies, which no longer 
require these data. EIA proposes formally discontinuing this survey.

Form EIA-782A, Refiners'/Gas Plant Operators' Monthly Petroleum Product 
Sales Report, Form EIA-782C, Monthly Report of Prime Supplier Sales of 
Petroleum Products Sold for Local Consumption, and Form EIA-821, Annual 
Fuel Oil and Kerosene Sales Report

    To concentrate limited EIA and respondent resources on more timely 
products, EIA proposes eliminating the EIA-782A, Refiners'/Gas Plant 
Operators' Monthly Petroleum Product Sales Report, the EIA-782C, 
Monthly Report of Prime Supplier Sales of Petroleum Products Sold for 
Local Consumption, and the EIA-821, Annual Fuel Oil and Kerosene Sales 
Report, surveys. EIA remains committed to balancing the costs 
associated with collecting data (for both respondents and taxpayers)

will continue to evolve to provide the best value to the American 
people in support of efficient energy markets. We continue to explore 
opportunities to incorporate similar data from other sources.
