SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The energy information collections

submitted to OMB for review were:

1. EIA–23, 23P, and 64A, ‘‘Oil and

Gas Reserves System Surveys.’’

2. Energy Information Administration;

1905–0057; Extension with changes;

Mandatory.

3. EIA’s Oil and Gas Reserves System

Surveys collect data used to estimate

reserves of crude oil, natural gas, and

natural gas liquids, and to determine the

status and approximate levels of

production. Data are published and are

used by public and private analysts.

Respondents are operators of oil wells,

natural gas wells, and natural gas

processing plants.

EIA proposes no substantive revision

to the current forms. However, the

original Federal Register notice did

request comments on substantive

changes to the Form EIA–23, ‘‘Annual

Survey of Domestic Oil and Gas

Reserves.’’ As a result of comments

received and discussions with members

of various trade associations it was

decided to delay the implementation of

the originally proposed changes until all

the government organizations involved

had the opportunity to revise their own

programs, so that all Government

agencies would have consistent

definitions in place before EIA changed

its reserves definitions and data

collection process.

4. Business or other for-profit.

5. 107,084 hours (16.360 hours x

0.802 responses per year x 8161

respondents).

Statutory Authority: Section 3506(c)(2)(A)

of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

(Pub. L. No. 104–13).
