Form EIA–819 ‘‘Monthly Oxygenate 

Report’’ 

Form EIA–820 ‘‘Annual Refinery 

Report’’; 

(3) Type of Request: Three-year 

extension with changes; 

(4) Purpose: 

The Federal Energy Administration 

Act of 1974 (Pub. L. 93–275, 15 U.S.C. 

761 et seq.) and the DOE Organization 

Act (Pub. L. 95–91, 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 (Pub. L. 104–13, 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. Any 

comments received help the EIA to 

prepare data requests that maximize the 

utility of the information collected, and 

to assess the impact of collection 

requirements on the public. Also, the 

EIA will later seek approval by the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) under Section 3507(a) of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. 

Weekly petroleum and biofuels 

supply surveys (Forms EIA–800, 802, 

803, 804, 805, and 809) are used to 

gather data on petroleum refinery 

operations, blending, biofuels 

production, inventory levels, and 

imports of crude oil, petroleum 

products, and biofuels from a sample of 

operating companies. Data from weekly 

surveys appear in EIA reports including 

the Weekly Petroleum Status Report, 

http://www.eia.gov/oil_gas/petroleum/

data_publications/weekly_petroleum_

status_report/wpsr.html; Short-Term 

Energy Outlook, http://www.eia.gov/

forecasts/steo/; This Week in Petroleum, 

http://www.eia.gov/forecasts/steo/; 

Monthly Energy Review, http://

www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/monthly/, 

and others. 

Monthly petroleum and biofuels 

supply surveys (Forms EIA–810, 812, 

813, 814, 815, 816, 817, 819, and 22M) 

are used to gather data on petroleum 

refinery operations, blending, biofuels 

production, natural gas plant liquids 

production, inventory levels, imports, 

inter-regional movements, and storage 

capacity for crude oil, petroleum 

products, and biofuels. Crude oil 

production data and petroleum and 

biofuels export data from the U.S. 

Census Bureau are integrated with data 

from EIA petroleum supply surveys to 

create a comprehensive statistical view 

of U.S. petroleum supplies that is 

unavailable from any other source. 

Monthly petroleum and biofuels 

supply surveys support weekly surveys 

by providing a complete set of in-scope 

petroleum and biofuels supply data 

from which weekly survey samples are 

drawn. In addition, monthly surveys 

provide data elements that are not 

collected on weekly reports such as 

production of natural gas plant liquids 

and refinery processing gain. Data from 

monthly petroleum and biofuels supply 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 70 / Wednesday, April 11, 2012 / Notices 21757 

surveys appear in EIA reports including 

Petroleum Supply Monthly, http://

www.eia.gov/petroleum/supply/

monthly/; Petroleum Supply Annual, 

http://www.eia.gov/petroleum/supply/ 

annual/volume1/; Monthly Energy 

Review, http://www.eia.gov/petroleum/ 

supply/annual/volume1/; Annual 

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

totalenergy/data/annual/; Short-Term 

Energy Outlook, http://www.eia.gov/

forecasts/steo/; Annual Energy Outlook, 

http://www.eia.gov/forecasts/aeo/er/, 

and others. Monthly survey data 

provide input for reports in the EIA 

State Energy Data System, and provide 

U.S. data submitted to the International 

Energy Agency. 

Further, Section 1508 of the Energy 

Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT 2005) (42 

U.S.C. 7135(m)) requires the EIA to 

conduct a survey which collects the 

quantity of renewable fuels produced, 

blended, imported, and demanded on a 

monthly basis, as well as market price 

data on a monthly basis. The EIA–22M 

collects these data in order to fulfill this 

mandate. 

Form EIA–820 ‘‘Annual Refinery 

Report’’ provides plant-level data on 

refinery capacities as well as national 

and regional data on fuels consumed by 

refineries, natural gas consumed as 

hydrogen feedstock, and crude oil 

receipts by method of transportation for 

operating and idle petroleum refineries 

(including new refineries under 

construction), and refineries shutdown 

during the previous year. The 

information collected appears in the 

Refinery Capacity Report, http://

www.eia.gov/petroleum/refinery

capacity/; Annual Energy Review, 

http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/ 

annual/, and other reports available 

electronically from the EIA Web site at 

http://www.eia.gov. 

(4a) Proposed Changes to Information 

Collection: 

The EIA proposes to discontinue 

Form EIA–801 ‘‘Weekly Bulk Terminal 

Report’’ and collect that same 

information by adding data elements to 

Form EIA–805 ‘‘Weekly Bulk Terminal 

and Blender Report’’ so that Form EIA– 

805 will be used to collect bulk terminal 

inventory data that were collected on 

Form EIA–801 as well as gasoline and 

other blending operations data. The 

Form EIA–805 would collect stocks of 

products which can be viewed below 

and on the draft form (see FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section for 

instructions about how to obtain 

proposed survey material). Reporting on 

Form EIA–805 will continue to be by 

each terminal site. The following are 

proposed modifications to Form EIA– 

805. 

• Add stocks of total natural gas plant 

liquids (NGPL) and liquefied refinery 

gases (LRG). 

• Add stocks of propane and 

propylene (a subset of total NGPL and 

LRG). 

• Add stocks of nonfuel propylene (a 

subset of propane/propylene stocks). 

• Add stocks of residual fuel oil. 

• Add stocks of unfinished oils. 

• Add stocks of products currently 

listed on Form EIA–805 including 

—Fuel ethanol 

—Finished Motor Gasoline, 

Reformulated, blended with Fuel 

Ethanol 

—Finished Motor Gasoline, 

Reformulated, Other 

—Finished Motor Gasoline, 

Conventional, blended with Fuel 

Ethanol, Ed55 and lower 

—Finished Motor Gasoline, 

Conventional, blended with Fuel 

Ethanol, Greater than Ed55 

—Finished Motor Gasoline, 

Conventional, Other 

—Motor Gasoline Blending 

Components, Reformulated 

Blendstock for Oxygenate Blending 

(RBOB) 

—Motor Gasoline Blending 

Components, Conventional 

Blendstock for Oxygenate Blending 

(CBOB) 

—Motor Gasoline Blending 

Components, Gasoline Treated as 

Blendstock (GTAB) 

—Motor Gasoline Blending 

Components, All Other 

—Kerosene-Type Jet Fuel 

—Distillate Fuel Oil by Sulfur Category 

(15 ppm sulfur and under, Greater 

than 15 ppm to 500 ppm sulfur 

(inclusive), and Greater than 500 ppm 

sulfur) 

Eliminating Form EIA–801 and the 

proposed changes to Form EIA–805 will 

make weekly bulk terminal reporting 

consistent with current survey reporting 

on monthly surveys and will provide 

more useful and accurate data for 

weekly analysis and assessment of U.S. 

inventories and blending of petroleum 

products and biofuels. 

EIA originally proposed to 

discontinue using Form EIA–801 for 

weekly bulk terminal reporting and 

consolidate all petroleum terminal 

reporting on Form EIA–805 as part of 

our 2009 survey form changes. The 2009 

proposal was later withdrawn because 

of concern about increased reporting 

burden due to the large number of 

weekly responses that were expected to 

be needed by Form EIA–805 in order to 

achieve the necessary sample coverage 

(the estimate was for an increase from 

445 to 968 weekly responses), as well as 

a concern about the feasibility of 

processing all of the responses in a 

timely manner. EIA has implemented an 

electronic data collection method called 

the Excel Data Extraction System (EDES) 

that allows us to process a larger volume 

of reports. Further assessment of the 

sample requirement, including 

examination of changes in the terminal 

industry, resulted in reduction in the 

estimate of the required responses to 

750 per week, an increase of 215 weekly 

responses from the current 535 weekly 

responses for collecting blending data 

on Form EIA–805. When balanced 

against a reduction of 187 weekly 

responses from eliminating Form EIA– 

801, this results in an estimated net 

increase of only 28 weekly responses. 

We believe there are sufficient benefits 

in terms of data utility and quality to be 

derived from consolidation of weekly 

bulk terminal reporting to justify this 

relatively minor increase in the number 

of weekly responses. 

EIA proposes to change the data 

protection policy regarding monthly 

atmospheric crude oil distillation 

capacity reported on Form EIA–810 

‘‘Monthly Refinery Report.’’ EIA 

proposes to no longer protect monthly 

atmospheric crude oil distillation 

reported on Form EIA–810. EIA 

proposes to release these data as public 

information in identifiable form. 

Atmospheric crude oil distillation 

capacity data collected on Form EIA– 

820 ‘‘Annual Refinery Report,’’ are 

released each year in identifiable form, 

by company and refinery site. These 

data appear in the Refinery Capacity 

Report available at http://www.eia.gov/ 

petroleum/refinerycapacity/ from the 

EIA web site. Protecting the atmospheric 

crude oil distillation capacity data that 

is collected monthly on Form EIA–810 

is inconsistent with the public release of 

this same information that is reported 

annually on Form EIA–820. EIA is only 

proposing to no longer protect the 

identifiability of atmospheric crude oil 

distillation capacity reported on Form 

EIA–810. All other information reported 

on Form EIA–810 will continue to be 

protected to the extent that it satisfies 

the criteria for exemption under the 

Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 

U.S.C. 552, the Department of Energy 

(DOE) regulations, 10 CFR 1004.11 

implementing the FOIA, and the Trade 

Secrets Act, 18 U.S.C. 1905. 

This change is proposed so that EIA 

may release reports and other analytical 

information products that contain 

statements related to atmospheric crude 

oil distillation capacity at specific 

refineries based on more current 

monthly data rather than relying solely 

upon annual data. Under the current 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
21758 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 70 / Wednesday, April 11, 2012 / Notices 

disclosure limitation policy, we are only 

able to make refinery-specific 

statements about capacity based on data 

from Form EIA–820, but interest is often 

in more current data. The public release 

of monthly crude oil distillation 

capacity information reported on Form 

EIA–810 will assist State and local 

governments and other energy planners 

that use these data for energy emergency 

planning. EIA contends that the release 

of atmospheric crude oil distillation 

capacity reported on Form EIA–810 will 

not cause competitive harm because 

similar data are already publicly 

released by EIA in the Annual Refinery 

Capacity Report and refinery-specific 

capacity data are widely quoted in press 

reports. 

Please refer to the proposed forms and 

instructions for more information about 

the purpose, who must report, when to 

report, where to submit, the elements to 

be reported, detailed instructions, 

provisions for confidentiality, and uses 

(including possible nonstatistical uses) 

of the information. For instructions on 

obtaining materials, see the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section. 

(5) Estimated Number of Survey 

Respondents: 

Weekly Survey Forms: 

EIA–800, 141 Respondents; EIA–802, 

51 Respondents; EIA–803, 57 

Respondents; EIA–804, 104 

Respondents; EIA–805, 750 

Respondents; EIA–809, 142 

Respondents; 

Monthly Survey Forms: 

EIA–22M, 150 Respondents; EIA–810, 

153 Respondents; EIA–812, 80 

Respondents; EIA–813, 167 

Respondents; EIA–814, 391 

Respondents; EIA–815, 1,476

Respondents; EIA–817, 34 Respondents; 

EIA–819, 203 Respondents; 

Annual Survey Forms: 

EIA–820, 148 Respondents. 

Total respondents for Petroleum 

Supply Reporting System: 4,498 

respondents. Many respondents report 

on multiple surveys and are counted for 

each survey they report. For example, 

the 104 respondents on the weekly 

Form EIA–804 are also included as a 

subset of the 391 respondents reporting 

on the monthly Form EIA–814, so that 

the two surveys contribute a total of 495 

respondents. 

(6) Annual Estimated Number of 

Total Responses: 

Weekly Survey Forms (Respondents × 

52): 

EIA–800, 7,332 Responses; EIA–802, 

2,652 Responses; EIA–803, 2,964 

Responses; EIA–804, 5,408 Responses; 

EIA–805, 39,000 Responses; EIA–809, 

7,384 Responses; 

Monthly Survey Forms (Respondents 

× 12): 

EIA–22M, 1,800 Responses; EIA–810,

EIA–814, 4,692 Responses; EIA–815, 

17,712 Responses; EIA–816, 5,412 

Responses; EIA–817, 408 Responses; 

EIA–819, 2,436 Responses; 

Annual Survey Forms (Respondents × 

1): 

EIA–820, 148 Responses. 

Total annual responses for Petroleum 

Supply Reporting System: 102,148 

responses annually. EIA estimates that it 

will receive a total of 102,148 reports 

annually, not that each survey form will 

individually be reported 102,148 times 

annually. 

(7) Annual Estimated Number of 

Burden Hours: 

EIA estimates the following burden 

hours per response for the Petroleum 

Supply Reporting System survey forms: 

Weekly Survey Forms: 

EIA–800, 1.58 hours; EIA–802, 0.95 

hours; EIA–803, 0.5 hours; EIA–804, 

1.75 hours; EIA–805, 1.6 hours; EIA– 

809, 1 hour; 

Monthly Survey Forms: 

EIA–22M, 3 hours; EIA–810, 6 hours; 

EIA–812, 4.3 hours; EIA–813, 2.5 hours; 

EIA–814, 2.55 hours; EIA–815, 5 hours;

EIA–820, 2.00 hours. 

Based on these estimates and the 

estimates in (6), EIA estimates an annual 

total of 231,531 burden hours for the 

Petroleum Supply Reporting System. 

(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.
