### 39427 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 131 / Thursday, July 9, 2015 / Notices

No additional changes proposed for Form EIA–815, ‘‘Monthly Terminal Blenders Report.’’

We propose to add plant condensate to Part 2 of Form EIA–816, ‘‘Monthly Natural Gas Liquids Report.’’ In addition, we are asking in Part 2 for the volume blended into crude oil. The quantity of plant condensate blended into crude oil is important as a way to balance crude oil supply and disposition and thereby reduce the crude oil adjustment (unaccounted-for crude oil) quantity.

We propose to change the title of Form EIA–817, ‘‘Monthly Tanker and Barge Movements Report’’ to EIA–817, Monthly Tanker, Barge, and Rail Movements and Stocks in Transit Report.’’ We intend to collect rail movements and stocks in transit for all Petroleum Administration for Defense Districts (PADDs) and select sub-PADDs on this survey. Rail movements of crude oil and petroleum products have increased in recent years due to changes in the regional distribution of crude oil, petroleum product, and biofuel supplies. Based on cognitive interviews with companies that report on Form EIA–817, respondents indicated that reporting stocks in transit on a company basis reduces respondent burden and improves data quality.

We propose to change the title of Form EIA–819 ‘‘Monthly Oxygenate Report’’ to EIA–819 ‘‘Monthly Biofuel and Oxygenate Report’’. We also plan to reorganize the Form EIA–819 to clarify reporting requirements. The new Form EIA–819 will have separate sections forreporting biofuel production, nonbiofuel oxygenate production, and blending activity involving biofuels, petroleum products, and hydrocarbon gas liquids. In addition, product details will be added to identify products as non-cellulosic biofuels (ethanol, butanol, bionaphtha and biogasoline, and other) and cellulosic biofuels (cellulosic ethanol, cellulosic naphtha and gasoline, and other). Currently EIA collects petroleum refinery fuel consumption data, but not renewable fuel plant consumption data. Collecting this data will allow analysts and modelers to gauge trends in energy efficiency at ethanol and biodiesel plants as they do now with data collected from petroleum refineries.

Gasoline products included in Part 6 ‘‘Blending Activity including Addition of Denaturants’’ will be updated with new gasoline products described earlier. We also propose to add normal butane and isobutane in addition to natural gasoline (formerly pentanes plus) to Part 6. We are also expanding the coverage from the 50 states and the District of Columbia, to the 50 states, the District of Columbia and the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.

In addition to clarifying reporting requirements by separating activities into separate sections of the form, the addition of new products will position EIA to provide data on new biofuel products that may become important sources of U.S. fuel supplies.

We propose to redesign the layout of Part 1 and 2 of the forms due to the new electronic modes of data collection. Most of this information will be prepopulated and we will use skip patterns to request respondents provide updates as needed. We are doing this to reduce respondent burden. This change applies to all of the surveys.

Please refer to the proposed forms and instructions for more information about the purpose of the survey, who must submit, when to submit, provision for confidentiality, elements to be reported, and uses (including nonstatistical uses) of the information. These materials are available on EIA’s Web site at http:// www.eia.gov/survey/.

(5) Annual Estimated Number of Respondents: 4,503.

(6) Annual Estimated Number of Total Responses: 102,656.

(7) Annual Estimated Number of Burden Hours: 198,321.

(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. The information is maintained in the normal course of business. The cost of burden hours to the respondents is estimated to be $14,273,162 (198,321 burden hours times $71.97 per hour), which represents a reduction of 15,241 burden hours from the prior renewal of this collection in 2013. Therefore, other than the cost of burden hours, EIA estimates that there are no additional costs for generating, maintaining and providing the information.

Statutory Authority: Section 13(b) of the Federal Energy Administration Act of 1974, P.L. 93–275, codified at 15 U.S.C. 772(b).

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  On October 13, 2005, the final Cross-Media Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR) was published in the Federal Register (70 FR 59848) and codified as part 3 of title 40 of the CFR. CROMERR establishes electronic reporting as an acceptable regulatory alternative to paper reporting and establishes requirements to assure that electronic documents are as legally dependable as their paper counterparts. Subpart D of CROMERR requires that state, tribal or local government agencies that receive, or wish to begin receiving, electronic reports under their EPA-authorized programs must apply to EPA for a revision or modification of those programs and obtain EPA approval. Subpart D provides standards for such approvals based on consideration of the electronic document receiving systems that the state, tribe, or local government will use to implement the electronic reporting. Additionally, § 3.1000(b) through (e) of 40 CFR part 3, subpart D provides special procedures for program revisions and modifications to allow electronic reporting, to be used at the option of the state, tribe or local government in place of proceduresavailable under existing programspecific authorization regulations. An application submitted under the subpart D procedures must show that the state, tribe or local government has sufficient legal authority to implement the electronic reporting components of the programs covered by the application and will use electronic document
