categories of commodities shipped on 

inland and intracoastal waterways. 

A primary user or shipper may be 

represented on the Board, at the request 

of the Secretary of the Army and with 

the approval of the Secretary of Defense, 

for a two-year term of service. A user or 

shipper may be represented on the 

Board no more than two terms of service 

(four years), without prior approval of 

the Secretary of Defense. A user or 

shipper may be subsequently 

represented on the Board, but only after 

being off the Board for at least two 

years. 

In addition to the primary users and 

shippers invited by the Secretary of 

Defense, the Secretary of the Army shall 

designate, and the Secretaries of 

Agriculture, Transportation and 

Commerce may each designate, a 

representative to act as an observer of 

the Board. These observers, who have 

no voting rights, shall each be a fulltime or permanent part-time employee 

of his or her respective agency. 

Pursuant to 33 U.S.C. 2251(a), the 

Secretary of the Army shall designate 

one Board member to serve as the 

Board’s Chairperson. With the exception 

of travel and per diem for official travel, 

all Board members shall serve without 

compensation. 

The Department, when necessary and 

consistent with the Board’s mission and 

DoD policies and procedures, may 

establish subcommittees, task groups, or 

working groups to support the Board. 

Establishment of subcommittees will be 

based upon a written determination, to 

include terms of reference, by the 

Secretary of Defense, the Deputy 

Secretary of Defense, or the Secretary of 

the Army. Currently, the Board does not 

use subcommittees. If the Department 

determines that the establishment of 

subcommittees is warranted, the Board’s 

charter must be amended prior to such 

establishment. 

The Board shall meet at the call of the 

Board’s Designated Federal Officer 

(DFO), in consultation with the 

Chairperson. Pursuant to 33 U.S.C. 

2251(b), the Board shall meet at least 

semi-annually. 

In addition, the DFO is required to be 

in attendance at all Board and 

subcommittee meetings for the entire 

duration of each and every meeting; 

however, in the absence of the DFO, the 

Alternate DFO shall attend the entire 

duration of the Board or subcommittee 

meeting. 

Pursuant to 41 CFR 102–3.105(j) and 

102–3.140, the public or interested 

organizations may submit written 

statements to the Board membership 

about the Board’s mission and 

functions. Written statements may be 

submitted at any time or in response to 

the stated agenda of planned meeting of 

the Board. 

All written statements shall be 

submitted to the DFO, and this 

individual will ensure that the written 

statements are provided to the 

membership for their consideration. 

Contact information for the Board’s DFO 

can be obtained from the GSA’s FACA 

Database—https://www.fido.gov/ 

facadatabase/public.asp. 

The DFO, pursuant to 41 CFR 102– 

3.150, will announce planned meetings 

of the Board. The DFO, at that time, may 

provide additional guidance on the 

submission of written statements that 

are in response to the stated agenda for 

the planned meeting in question.

Energy Information Administration 

Agency Information Collection 

Extension 

AGENCY: U.S. Energy Information 

Administration (EIA), Department of 

Energy. 

ACTION: Notice and request for OMB 

review and comment. 

SUMMARY: The EIA has submitted an 

information collection request to the 

OMB for extension under the provisions 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. 

The information collection requests a 

three-year extension of Form FE–746R, 

‘‘Natural Gas Imports and Exports,’’ 

OMB Control Number 1901–0294. The 

proposed collection will support DOE’s 

Office of Fossil Energy (FE) in the 

collection of critical information on U.S. 

natural gas trade. Data collected include 

name of importer/exporter; country of 

origin/destination; international point of 

entry/exit; name of supplier; volume; 

price; transporters; U.S. geographic 

market(s) served; and duration of supply 

contract on a monthly basis. The data, 

published in Natural Gas Imports and 

Exports, are used to monitor North 

American gas trade, and to support 

various market and regulatory analyses 

performed by FE. 

DATES: Comments regarding this 

proposed information collection must 

be received on or before May 29, 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. 

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, 735 17th Street NW., 

Washington, DC 20503. 

And to: 

Lisa Tracy, U.S. Department of Energy, 

Office of Fossil Energy, Office of 

Natural Gas Regulatory Activities 

(FE–34), P.O. Box 44375, Washington, 

DC 20026–4375, Phone: (202) 586– 

4523, Fax: (202) 586–6050. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Requests for additional information or 

copies of the information collection 

instrument and instructions should be 

directed to Lisa Tracy at the contact 

information above. Alternatively, Ms. 

Tracy may be emailed at 

lisa.tracy@hq.doe.gov. Copies of the 

information collection instruments and 

instructions can also be viewed at 

http://www.fe.doe.gov/programs/ 

gasregulation/report_guidelines.html. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

information collection request contains: 

(1) OMB No.: 1901–0294; (2) 

Information Collection Request Title: 

Natural Gas Imports and Exports; (3) 

Type of Request: Three-Year Extension; 

(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 the 

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. The EIA, as part of 

its effort to comply with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 35), provides the general public 

and other Federal agencies with 

opportunities to comment on collections 

of energy information conducted by or 

in conjunction with the EIA. 

DOE’s Office of Fossil Energy (FE) is 

delegated the authority to regulate 

natural gas imports and exports under 

section 3 of the Natural Gas Act of 1938, 

15 U.S.C. 717b. In order to carry out its 

delegated responsibility, FE requires 

those persons seeking to import or 

export natural gas to file an application 

providing basic information on the 

scope and nature of the proposed 

import/export activity. Once an 

importer or exporter receives 

authorization from FE, they are required 

to submit monthly reports of all import 

and export transactions. Form FE–746R 

collects critical information on U.S. 

natural gas trade including: name of 

importer/exporter; country of origin/ 

destination; international point of entry/ 

exit; name of supplier; volume; price; 

transporters; U.S. geographic market(s) 

served; and duration of supply contract 

on a monthly basis. The data, published 

in Natural Gas Imports and Exports, are 

used to ensure compliance with the 

terms and conditions of the 

authorizations. In addition, the data are 

used to monitor North American gas 

trade, which, in turn, enables the 

Federal government to perform market 

and regulatory analyses; improve the 

capability of industry and the 

government to respond to any future 

energy-related supply problems; and 

keep the general public informed of
