Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Submission for OMB 

Review; Comment Request 

AGENCY: Energy Information 

Administration (EIA), Department of 

Energy (DOE). 

ACTION: Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request. 

SUMMARY: The EIA has submitted the 

Financial Reporting EIA–28 Survey 

package to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) for clearance under 

the provisions of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995. The Financial 

Reporting System, Form EIA–28 collects 

data used to analyze the energy 

industry’s competitive environment as 

well as energy industry resource 

development, supply distribution, and 

profitability issues. This is a request to 

conduct a comprehensive voluntary 

evaluation of an existing data collection 

to inform a future redesign of the EIA– 

28. This future redesign will measure 

upstream oil and gas costs for 

exploration and production for U.S. 

companies’ foreign and domestic 

operations. In order to successfully 

inform this redesign, EIA will assess the 

feasibility of collecting and measuring 

upstream oil and gas costs for 

exploration and production for U.S. 

energy companies’ foreign and domestic 

operations. EIA will work to identify the 

policy goals and data needs of its 

stakeholders with respect to the 

collection and measurement of 

upstream oil and gas costs. The goal of 

this evaluation is to collect enough data 

to successfully inform the future 

redesign of the EIA–28.
