available. The data protection policy for 

all other information reported on Form 

EIA–819 ‘‘Monthly Oxygenate Report’’ 

will remain the same.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

II. Current Actions 

III. Request for Comments 

I. Background 

The Form EIA–819, ‘‘Monthly 

Oxygenate Report’’ collects data on 

oxygenate inputs, production, and endof-month stocks. The form is required to 

be completed by the operators of all 

facilities that produce (manufacture or 

distill) oxygenates (including MTBE 

plants, petrochemical plants, and 

refineries) as part of their operations 

located in the 50 States and the District 

of Columbia. EIA stated in its survey 

instructions that it would protect the 

information to the extent that it satisfied 

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. EIA now 

proposes to amend the instructions to 

state that EIA intends to treat all 

information reported on fuel ethanol 

production capacity, (both nameplate 

and maximum sustainable capacity) on 

Form EIA–819 as public information. 

II. Current Actions 

Beginning with the collection of July 

2012 data, EIA proposes to treat all 

information reported on fuel ethanol 

production capacity, (both nameplate 

and maximum sustainable capacity) on 

Form EIA–819 as public information 

and release it on EIA’s Web site. EIA 

will signify this change by amending the
