TABLE C—WILLIAM D. FORD FEDERAL DIRECT LOAN (DIRECT LOAN) PROGRAM AND TEACHER EDUCATION ASSISTANCE

FOR COLLEGE AND HIGHER EDUCATION (TEACH) GRANT PROGRAM SUBMISSION DATES FOR DISBURSEMENT INFORMATION BY INSTITUTIONS FOR THE 2012–2013 COD PROCESSING YEAR 1—Continued 

Who submits? What is submitted? Where is it submitted? What are the earliest submission 

and deadline dates for receipt? 

For disbursements that occur 

prior to April 1, 2013 an institution is required to submit disbursement information no later 

than 30 calendar days after the 

institution makes a disbursement or becomes aware of the 

need to make an adjustment to 

previously reported disbursement data; or For disbursements that occur on or after 

April 1, 2013 an institution is required to submit disbursement 

information no later than 15 calendar days after the institution 

makes a disbursement or becomes aware of the need to 

make an adjustment to previously reported disbursement 

data. 

Note: 

Disbursements made between 

January 1, 2012 and March 10, 

2012 must be reported not later 

than 30 calendar days after 

March 10, 2012. 

1A COD Processing Year is a period of time in which institutions are permitted to submit Direct Loan and TEACH Grant records to the COD 

System that are related to a given award year. For a Direct Loan, the period of time includes loans that have a loan period covering any day in 

the 2012–2013 award year. For a TEACH Grant, the period of time includes an award for a payment period that includes any day in the 2012– 

2013 award year. 2Transmissions must be completed and accepted before 12:00 (Eastern Time) midnight to meet the deadline. If transmissions are started before 12:00 midnight but are not completed until after 12:00 midnight, those transmissions will not meet the deadline. In addition, any transmission 

submitted on or just prior to the deadline date that is rejected may not be reprocessed because the deadline will have passed by the time the 

user gets the information notifying him or her of the rejection. 

Note: The COD System must accept origination data for a student from an institution before it accepts disbursement information from the institution for that student. Institutions may submit origination and disbursement data for a student in the same transmission. However, if the origination data is rejected, the disbursement data is rejected.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Energy Information Administration 

Agency Information Collection 

Extension 

AGENCY: U.S. Energy Information 

Administration (EIA), Department of 

Energy (DOE). 

ACTION: Notice and Request for Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) Review 

and Comment. 

SUMMARY: EIA has submitted, under the 

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995, an information collection 

request to the OMB for a three-year 

extension, with changes, of its Oil and 

Gas Reserves System Surveys (OGRS) 

forms (OMB 1905–0057): 

• Form EIA–23L, Annual Survey of 

Domestic Oil and Gas Reserves, Field 

Level Report 

• Form EIA–23S, Annual Survey of 

Domestic Oil and Gas Reserves, 

Summary Level Report 

• Form EIA–64A, Annual Report of 

the Origin of Natural Gas Liquids 

Production 

EIA proposes to suspend the Form EIA– 

23S and collect similar data in a revised 

sample for the Form EIA–23L data 

collection. The sampling method for the 

Form EIA–23L survey frame will be 

changed to a cut-off sample, and 

procedures to estimate data will be 

adjusted, accordingly. EIA proposes to 

report reserves for three, small natural 

gas and oil production states (IL, IN, and 

TN) ‘‘as reported’’ (i.e., will no longer 

estimate the total reserves for these 

states) under the Miscellaneous States 

category in EIA publications. The Form 

EIA–23L instructions will be updated 

with the current EIA definitions of 

terms used. Form EIA–64A will be 

extended without changes. 

DATES: Comments regarding this 

collection must be received on or before 

April 1, 2013. If you anticipate that you 

will be submitting comments, but find 

it difficult to do so within the period of 

time allowed by this notice, please 

advise the DOE Desk Officer at OMB of 

your intention to make a submission as 

soon as possible. The Desk Officer may 

be telephoned at 202–395–4718 or 

contacted by email at 

chad_s_whiteman@omb.eop.gov. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments should 

be sent to the: DOE Desk Officer, Office 

of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 

Office of Management and Budget, New 

Executive Office Building, Room 10102,

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; 

(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, 

Pub. L. 93–275, codified at 15 U.S.C. 772(b) 

and Section 657 of the Department of Energy 

Organization Act, Pub. L. 95–91.
