SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

information collection request contains: 

(1) OMB No. 1905–0174; 

(2) Information Collection Request 

Title: Petroleum Marketing Program; 

(3) Type of Request: Renewal with 

change; 

(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 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. 

EIA, as part of its effort to comply 

with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.), provides 

the general public and other Federal 

agencies with opportunities to comment 

on collections of energy information 

conducted by or in conjunction with 

EIA. Also, EIA will later seek approval 

for this collection by the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) under 

Section 3507(a) of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995. 

EIA’s petroleum marketing survey 

forms collect volumetric 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 

Web site, http://www.eia.gov, as well as 

in publications such as the Monthly 

Energy Review (http://www.eia.gov/ 

totalenergy/data/monthly/), Annual 

Energy Review (http://www.eia.gov/ 

totalenergy/data/annual/), Petroleum 

Marketing Monthly (http://www.eia.gov/ 

oil_gas/petroleum/data_publications/ 

petroleum_marketing_monthly/ 

pmm.html), Weekly Petroleum Status 

Report (http://www.eia.gov/oil_gas/ 

petroleum/data_publications/ 

weekly_petroleum_status_report/ 

wpsr.html), and the International Energy 

Outlook (http://www.eia.gov/forecasts/ 

ieo/); 

(4a) Proposed Changes to Information 

Collection: 

EIA will be requesting a 3-year 

extension of approval to continue 

collecting 10 petroleum marketing 

surveys (Forms EIA–14, EIA–182, EIA– 

782A, EIA–782C, EIA–821, EIA–856, 

EIA–863, EIA–877, EIA–878, and EIA– 

888) with the only substantive changes 


Tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 66 / Thursday, April 5, 2012 / Notices 20617 

to the survey forms and instructions 

being the elimination of collecting 

information on No. 2 diesel fuel lowsulfur categories on Forms EIA–782A, 

EIA–821, and EIA–888. EIA proposes to 

discontinue collection of information on 

No. 2 diesel fuel sales through 

company-operated outlets for diesel fuel 

with sulfur content of >15 and <=500 

ppm on Form EIA–782A, and the 

category on-highway diesel fuel use 

with sulfur content of >15 and <=500 

ppm on Form EIA–821. EIA proposes 

not to collect price information for onhighway low-sulfur diesel fuel on Form 

EIA–888. The proposed form changes 

are necessary because of regulations 

issued by the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency which prohibit the 

sale of No. 2 diesel fuel with sulfur 

content of >15 and <=500 ppm for onhighway use. EIA does not seek renewal 

of the Form EIA–782B, 

‘‘Resellers’/Retailers’ Monthly 

Petroleum Product Sales Report,’’ as 

part of this information collection. EIA 

suspended the use of Form EIA–782B in 

May 2011, due to resource constraints 

and notified the respondents in the 

reporting sample by letter dated May 23, 

2011 that they were no longer required 

to file this report. 

Information Collection Burden 

Estimates 

(5) Annual Estimated Number of 

Respondents: 11,953 respondents; 

(6) Annual Estimated Number of 

Total Responses: 106,661 responses per 

year; 

(7) Annual Estimated Number of 

Burden Hours: 56,186 hours per year; 

(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Cost Burden: 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). 

Issued in Washington, DC, on March 29,

80904, by telephone at (719) 667–7514 

or by email at susan.stires@elpaso.com. 

Pursuant to Section 157.9 of the 

Commission’s rules, 18 CFR 157.9, 

within 90 days of this Notice the 

Commission staff will either: complete 

its environmental assessment (EA) and 

place it into the Commission’s public 

record (eLibrary) for this proceeding, or 

issue a Notice of Schedule for 

Environmental Review. If a Notice of 

Schedule for Environmental Review is 

issued, it will indicate, among other 

milestones, the anticipated date for the 

Commission staff’s issuance of the final 

environmental impact statement (FEIS) 

or EA for this proposal. The filing of the 

EA in the Commission’s public record 

for this proceeding or the issuance of a 

Notice of Schedule for Environmental 

Review will serve to notify federal and 

state agencies of the timing for the 

completion of all necessary reviews, and 

the subsequent need to complete all 

federal authorizations within 90 days of 

the date of issuance of the Commission 

staff’s FEIS or EA. 

There are two ways to become 

involved in the Commission’s review of 

this project. First, any person wishing to 

obtain legal status by becoming a party 

to the proceedings for this project 

should, on or before the comment date 

stated below file with the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 

First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426, 

a motion to intervene in accordance 

with the requirements of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) 

and the Regulations under the NGA (18 

CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party 

status will be placed on the service list 

maintained by the Secretary of the 

Commission and will receive copies of 

all documents filed by the applicant and 

by all other parties. A party must submit 

14 copies of filings made in the 

proceeding with the Commission and 

must mail a copy to the applicant and 

to every other party. Only parties to the 

proceeding can ask for court review of 

Commission orders in the proceeding. 

However, a person does not have to 

intervene in order to have comments 

considered. The second way to 

participate is by filing with the 

Secretary of the Commission, as soon as 

possible, an original and two copies of 

comments in support of or in opposition 

to this project. The Commission will 

consider these comments in 

determining the appropriate action to be 

taken, but the filing of a comment alone 

will not serve to make the filer a party 

to the proceeding. The Commission’s 

rules require that persons filing 

comments in opposition to the project 

provide copies of their protests only to 

the party or parties directly involved in 

the protest. 

Persons who wish to comment only 

on the environmental review of this 

project should submit an original and 

two copies of their comments to the 

Secretary of the Commission. 

Environmental commentors will be 

placed on the Commission’s 

environmental mailing list, will receive 

copies of the environmental documents, 

and will be notified of meetings 

associated with the Commission’s 

environmental review process. 

Environmental commentors will not be 

required to serve copies of filed 

documents on all other parties. 

However, the non-party commentors 

will not receive copies of all documents 

filed by other parties or issued by the 

Commission (except for the mailing of
