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

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 for 

reporting 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.

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 procedures 

available 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

receiving systems that meet the 

applicable subpart D requirements. 

On January 20, 2010, the Alaska 

Department of Environmental 

Conservation (ADEC) submitted an 

application titled ‘‘Water Online 

Application System (OASys)’’ for 

revision/modification of its EPAauthorized authorized Part 123 program 

under title 40 CFR. EPA reviewed 

ADEC’s request to revise/modify its 

EPA-authorized Part 123—EPA 

Administered Permit Programs: The 

National Pollutant Discharge 

Elimination System program and, based 

on this review, EPA determined that the 

application met the standards for 

approval of authorized program 

revision/modification set out in 40 CFR 

part 3, subpart D. In accordance with 40 

CFR 3.1000(d), this notice of EPA’s 

decision to approve Alaska’s request to 

revise/modify its Part 123—EPA 

Administered Permit Programs: The 

National Pollutant Discharge 

Elimination System program to allow 

electronic reporting under 40 CFR part 

122 is being published in the Federal 

Register. 

ADEC was notified of EPA’s 

determination to approve its application 

with respect to the authorized program 

listed above.
