Form EIA–820 ‘‘Annual Refinery 

Report’’; 

(3) Type of Request: Three-year 

extension with changes; 

(4) Purpose: 

The Federal Energy Administration 

Act of 1974 (Pub. L. 93–275, 15 U.S.C. 

761 et seq.) and the DOE Organization 

Act (Pub. L. 95–91, 42 U.S.C. 7101 et 

seq.) require the EIA to carry out a 

centralized, comprehensive, and unified 

energy information program. This 

program collects, evaluates, assembles, 

analyzes, and disseminates information 

on energy resource reserves, production, 

demand, technology, and related 

economic and statistical information. 

This information is used to assess the 

adequacy of energy resources to meet 

near and longer-term domestic 

demands. 

The EIA, as part of its effort to comply 

with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (Pub. L. 104–13, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 

35), provides the general public and 

other Federal agencies with 

opportunities to comment on collections 

of energy information conducted by or 

in conjunction with the EIA. Any 

comments received help the EIA to 

prepare data requests that maximize the 

utility of the information collected, and 

to assess the impact of collection 

requirements on the public. Also, the 

EIA will later seek approval by the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) under Section 3507(a) of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. 

Weekly petroleum and biofuels 

supply surveys (Forms EIA–800, 802, 

803, 804, 805, and 809) are used to 

gather data on petroleum refinery 

operations, blending, biofuels 

production, inventory levels, and 

imports of crude oil, petroleum 

products, and biofuels from a sample of 

operating companies. Data from weekly 

surveys appear in EIA reports including 

the Weekly Petroleum Status Report,

Week in Petroleum, http://www.eia.gov/ 

forecasts/steo/; Monthly Energy Review,

monthly/, and others. 

Monthly petroleum and biofuels 

supply surveys (Forms EIA–810, 812, 

813, 814, 815, 816, 817, 819, and 22M) 

are used to gather data on petroleum 

refinery operations, blending, biofuels 

production, natural gas plant liquids 

production, inventory levels, imports, 

inter-regional movements, and storage 

capacity for crude oil, petroleum 

products, and biofuels. Crude oil 

production data and petroleum and 

biofuels export data from the U.S. 

Census Bureau are integrated with data 

from EIA petroleum supply surveys to 

create a comprehensive statistical view

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 112 / Monday, June 11, 2012 / Notices 34369 

of U.S. petroleum supplies that is 

unavailable from any other source. 

Monthly petroleum and biofuels 

supply surveys support weekly surveys 

by providing a complete set of in-scope 

petroleum and biofuels supply data 

from which weekly survey samples are 

drawn. In addition, monthly surveys 

provide data elements that are not 

collected on weekly reports such as 

production of natural gas plant liquids 

and refinery processing gain. Data from 

monthly petroleum and biofuels supply 

surveys appear in EIA reports including 

Petroleum Supply Monthly, http:// 

www.eia.gov/petroleum/supply/ 

monthly/ Petroleum Supply Annual, 

http://www.eia.gov/petroleum/supply/ 

annual/volume1/; Monthly Energy 

Review, http://www.eia.gov/petroleum/ 

supply/annual/volume1/ Annual Energy 

Review, http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/ 

data/annual/ Short-Term Energy 

Outlook, http://www.eia.gov/forecasts/ 

steo/; Annual Energy Outlook, http:// 

www.eia.gov/forecasts/aeo/er/, and 

others. Monthly survey data provide 

input for reports in the EIA State Energy 

Data System, and provide U.S. data 

submitted to the International Energy 

Agency. 

Further, Section 1508 of the Energy 

Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT 2005) (42 

U.S.C. 7135(m)) requires the EIA to 

conduct a survey which collects the 

quantity of renewable fuels produced, 

blended, imported, and demanded on a 

monthly basis, as well as market price 

data on a monthly basis. The EIA–22M 

collects these data in order to fulfill this 

mandate. 

Form EIA–820 ‘‘Annual Refinery 

Report’’ provides plant-level data on 

refinery capacities as well as national 

and regional data on fuels consumed by 

refineries, natural gas consumed as 

hydrogen feedstock, and crude oil 

receipts by method of transportation for 

operating and idle petroleum refineries 

(including new refineries under 

construction), and refineries shutdown 

during the previous year. The 

information collected appears in the 

Refinery Capacity Report, http:// 

www.eia.gov/petroleum/ 

refinerycapacity/ Annual Energy 

Review, http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/ 

data/annual/, and other reports 

available electronically from the EIA 

web site at http://www.eia.gov. 

(4a) Proposed Changes to Information 

Collection: 

The EIA proposes to discontinue 

Form EIA–801 ‘‘Weekly Bulk Terminal 

Report’’ and collect that same 

information by adding data elements to 

Form EIA–805 ‘‘Weekly Bulk Terminal 

and Blender Report’’ so that Form EIA– 

805 will be used to collect bulk terminal 

inventory data that were collected on 

Form EIA–801 as well as gasoline and 

other blending operations data. The 

Form EIA–805 would collect stocks of 

products which can be viewed below 

and on the draft form (see FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section for 

instructions about how to obtain 

proposed survey material). Reporting on 

Form EIA–805 will continue to be by 

each terminal site. The following are 

proposed modifications to Form EIA– 

805. 

• Add stocks of total natural gas plant 

liquids (NGPL) and liquefied refinery 

gases (LRG). 

• Add stocks of propane and 

propylene (a subset of total NGPL and 

LRG). 

• Add stocks of nonfuel propylene (a 

subset of propane/propylene stocks). 

• Add stocks of residual fuel oil. 

• Add stocks of unfinished oils. 

• Add stocks of products currently 

listed on Form EIA–805 including 

—Fuel Ethanol 

—Finished Motor Gasoline, 

Reformulated, blended with Fuel 

Ethanol 

—Finished Motor Gasoline, 

Reformulated, Other 

—Finished Motor Gasoline, 

Conventional, blended with Fuel 

Ethanol, Ed55 and lower 

—Finished Motor Gasoline, 

Conventional, blended with Fuel 

Ethanol, Greater than Ed55 

—Finished Motor Gasoline,

—Motor Gasoline Blending 

Components, Reformulated

(RBOB) 

—Motor Gasoline Blending 

Components, Conventional 

Blendstock for Oxygenate Blending 

(CBOB) 

—Motor Gasoline Blending 

Components, Gasoline Treated as 

Blendstock (GTAB) 

—Motor Gasoline Blending 

Components, All Other 

—Kerosene-Type Jet Fuel 

—Distillate Fuel Oil by Sulfur Category 

(15 ppm sulfur and under, Greater 

than 15 ppm to 500 ppm sulfur 

(inclusive), and Greater than 500 ppm 

sulfur) 

Eliminating Form EIA–801 and the 

proposed changes to Form EIA–805 will 

make weekly bulk terminal reporting 

consistent with current survey reporting 

on monthly surveys and will provide 

more useful and accurate data for 

weekly analysis and assessment of U.S. 

inventories and blending of petroleum 

products and biofuels. 

EIA originally proposed to 

discontinue using Form EIA–801 for 

weekly bulk terminal reporting and 

consolidate all petroleum terminal 

reporting on Form EIA–805 as part of 

our 2009 survey form changes. The 2009 

proposal was later withdrawn because 

of concern about increased reporting 

burden due to the large number of 

weekly responses that were expected to 

be needed by Form EIA–805 in order to 

achieve the necessary sample coverage 

(the estimate was for an increase from 

445 to 968 weekly responses), as well as 

a concern about the feasibility of 

processing all of the responses in a 

timely manner. EIA has implemented an 

electronic data collection method called 

the Excel Data Extraction System (EDES) 

that allows us to process a larger volume 

of reports. Further assessment of the 

sample requirement, including 

examination of changes in the terminal 

industry, resulted in reduction in the 

estimate of the required responses to 

750 per week, an increase of 215 weekly 

responses from the current 535 weekly 

responses for collecting blending data 

on Form EIA–805. When balanced 

against a reduction of 187 weekly 

responses from eliminating Form EIA– 

801, this results in an estimated net 

increase of only 28 weekly responses. 

We believe there are sufficient benefits 

in terms of data utility and quality to be 

derived from consolidation of weekly 

bulk terminal reporting to justify this 

relatively minor increase in the number 

of weekly responses. 

EIA proposes to change the data 

protection policy regarding monthly 

atmospheric crude oil distillation 

capacity reported on Form EIA–810 

‘‘Monthly Refinery Report.’’ EIA 

proposes to no longer protect monthly 

atmospheric crude oil distillation 

reported on Form EIA–810. EIA 

proposes to release these data as public 

information in identifiable form. 

Atmospheric crude oil distillation 

capacity data collected on Form EIA– 

820 ‘‘Annual Refinery Report,’’ are 

released each year in identifiable form, 

by company and refinery site. These 

data appear in the Refinery Capacity 

Report available at http://www.eia.gov/ 

petroleum/refinerycapacity/from the 

EIA web site. Protecting the atmospheric 

crude oil distillation capacity data that 

is collected monthly on Form EIA–810 

is inconsistent with the public release of 

this same information that is reported 

annually on Form EIA–820. EIA is only 

proposing to no longer protect the 

identifiability of atmospheric crude oil 

distillation capacity reported on Form 

EIA–810. All other information reported 

on Form EIA–810 will continue to be 

protected to the extent that it satisfies 

the criteria for exemption under the 


srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
34370 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 112 / Monday, June 11, 2012 / Notices 

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. 

This change is proposed so that EIA 

may release reports and other analytical 

information products that contain 

statements related to atmospheric crude 

oil distillation capacity at specific 

refineries based on more current 

monthly data rather than relying solely 

upon annual data. Under the current 

disclosure limitation policy, we are only 

able to make refinery-specific 

statements about capacity based on data 

from Form EIA–820, but interest is often 

in more current data. The public release 

of monthly crude oil distillation 

capacity information reported on Form 

EIA–810 will assist State and local 

governments and other energy planners 

that use these data for energy emergency 

planning. EIA contends that the release 

of atmospheric crude oil distillation 

capacity reported on Form EIA–810 will 

not cause competitive harm because 

similar data are already publicly 

released by EIA in the Annual Refinery 

Capacity Report and refinery-specific 

capacity data are widely quoted in press 

reports. 

EIA proposes to discontinue 

collection of maximum sustainable fuel 

ethanol production capacity and change 

the data protection policy on Form EIA– 

819. Beginning with data collected for 

January 2013, EIA proposes to treat all 

information reported on fuel ethanol 

nameplate production capacity on Form 

EIA–819 as public information and 

release it on EIA’s Web site. EIA will 

change the instructions on Form EIA– 

819 to state that this information will be 

treated as public. The publicly available 

ethanol production capacity information 

would be identifiable by company and 

facility. The data protection policy for 

all other information reported on Form 

EIA–819 will remain the same and be 

protected to the extent that the 

information qualifies as confidential 

commercial information under the 

criteria for exemption in the Freedom of 

Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552; 

the Department of Energy (DOE) 

regulations, 10 CFR part 1004, which 

implement the FOIA; and the Trade 

Secrets Act, 18 U.S.C. 1905. The 

proposed policy change is based on 

EIA’s mandate for carrying out a central, 

comprehensive, and unified energy data 

and information program responsive to 

users’ needs for credible, reliable, and 

timely energy information that will 

improve and broaden understanding of 

energy in the United States. 

EIA releases on its Web site, on an 

annual basis, the atmospheric crude oil 

distillation capacity and downstream 

charge capacity, by state, for each oil 

refinery in the Refinery Capacity Report. 

One important use of ethanol is for 

blending with gasoline. The publication 

of fuel ethanol plant production 

capacities by facility will provide 

comparable upstream information 

similar to refineries and will be useful 

to assess upstream gasoline market 

supply conditions. By providing 

capacity information at the facility level 

for ethanol production and other refined 

petroleum products, supply conditions 

within a region or state may be assessed 

in the event of a supply disruption. 

Fuel ethanol production capacities 

were previously collected by EIA on 

Form EIA–819A ‘‘Annual Oxygenate 

Capacity Report’’ from January 1, 1993– 

1995 and released by company and 

facility in the Petroleum Supply Annual 

during that same time period. Form 

EIA–819A was discontinued in 1996. 

The proposal to release fuel ethanol 

plant production capacity collected on 

Form EIA–819 beginning with data for 

January 2013, reference period is 

consistent with past EIA practices and 

will improve the utility of the data by 

permitting comparisons on the growth 

in capacity at the state level over the 

past twenty years. 

EIA does not anticipate the release of 

fuel ethanol plant nameplate production 

capacity data to cause competitive harm 

to respondents to Form EIA–819 

because this type of information is 

currently publicly available from other 

exogenous sources through the Internet. 

The Renewable Fuels Association 

publishes nameplate ethanol production 

capacity as well as the actual operating 

production and under-construction 

capacity at the facility level available at 

http://www.ethanolrfa.org/bio-refinerylocations. EIA is proposing only to 

release nameplate production capacity 

information at the facility level and will 

continue to protect all other information 

reported on Form EIA–819 from being 

released in identifiable form. 

EIA proposes to discontinue reporting 

of maximum sustainable fuel ethanol 

capacity. Maximum sustainable capacity 

was originally envisioned as a measure 

of surge capacity for fuel ethanol. 

However, the quantities reported for 

maximum sustainable fuel ethanol 

capacity were not useful for measuring 

surge capacity and EIA will be able to 

measure fuel ethanol surge capacity by 

using fuel ethanol production and 

nameplate capacity data reported on 

Form EIA–819. 

Beginning with data collected for 

January 2013, EIA proposes to treat all 

information reported on biodiesel 

production capacity on Form EIA–22M 

as public information that may be 

released EIA’s Web site. EIA will signify 

this change by amending the 

instructions on Form EIA–22M to state 

that this information will be treated as 

public and be made available in a form 

identifiable by company and facility. 

This change will provide for protection 

policies for biodiesel production 

capacity data that are consistent with 

current EIA policies related to oil 

refinery capacity and the data protection 

policy proposed for fuel ethanol 

production capacity. Because biodiesel 

is increasingly used as a blending 

component in U.S. distillate fuel oil 

(including diesel fuel and heating oil), 

detailed production capacity at the 

plant level is important for assessment 

of upstream distillate fuel oil supply 

conditions. Biodiesel production 

capacities by plant are currently 

publicly available from the National 

Biodiesel Board web site at http:// 

www.nbb.org/about-us/member-plants/ 

nbb-member-plant-lists. We do not 

anticipate competitive harm to biodiesel 

producers from release of biodiesel 

production capacity data collected on 

Form EIA–22M. 

Finally, EIA proposes to further 

modify the data protection policy for 

monthly biodiesel production data 

reported on Form EIA–22M by not 

applying any disclosure limitation 

methodology to the published statistical 

aggregates for quantities of biodiesel 

production at the Petroleum 

Administration for Defense District 

(PADD) level. The existing data 

protection policy provides for 

application of disclosure limitation 

procedures to statistical data published 

from Form EIA–22M to minimize the 

risk of disclosure of company 

identifiable information in data 

aggregated to the national, regional, or 

state levels. Under the current program, 

aggregated production data may be 

withheld (i.e. aggregated data values are 

replaced by W) if the company data 

contributing to the aggregated data item 

is such that individual company data is 

effectively revealed. EIA proposes to 

discontinue application of disclosure 

limitation procedures to biodiesel 

production data, but these procedures 

would continue to be applied to other 

published statistical aggregates based on 

data collected on Form EIA–22M. 

The change in data protection policy 

for production of biodiesel is necessary 

because EIA intends to incorporate 

biodiesel production in petroleum 

supply and disposition balance tables 

(with data for the U.S. and PADDs) 

published in the Petroleum Supply 

Monthly and Petroleum Supply Annual. 

Disclosure limitation procedures are not 


srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 112 / Monday, June 11, 2012 / Notices 34371 

applied to data in the Petroleum Supply 

Monthly and Petroleum Supply Annual. 

Therefore, it is possible that U.S. and 

PADD level totals reported in the 

Petroleum Supply Monthly and 

Petroleum Supply Annual may be 

dominated by data from one or two large 

companies thereby making it possible 

for a knowledgeable person to estimate 

information reported by a particular 

company. It is important to note that 

EIA is not proposing to explicitly report 

biodiesel production in company 

identifiable form, but only to 

discontinue application of disclosure 

limitation procedures to U.S. and PADD 

level biodiesel production totals 

calculated from data reported on Form 

EIA–22M. Applying statistical 

disclosure limitation procedures to 

biodiesel production data would 

potentially prevent EIA from accurately 

reporting data on distillate fuel oil 

supply, disposition, and demand 

including biodiesel especially at the 

PADD level. Disclosure limitation 

procedures will continue to be applied 

to the other data reported on Form EIA– 

22M. 

Please refer to the proposed forms and 

instructions for more information about 

the purpose, who must report, when to 

report, where to submit, the elements to 

be reported, detailed instructions, 

provisions for confidentiality, and uses 

(including possible nonstatistical uses) 

of the information. For instructions on 

obtaining materials, see the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section.

on multiple surveys and are counted for 

each survey they report. For example, 

the 104 respondents on the weekly 

Form EIA–804 are also included as a 

subset of the 391 respondents reporting 

on the monthly Form EIA–814, so that 

the two surveys contribute a total of 495 

respondents.

Total annual responses for Petroleum 

Supply Reporting System: 102,148 

responses annually. EIA estimates that it 

will receive a total of 102,148 reports 

annually, not that each survey form will 

individually be reported 102,148 times 

annually. 

(7) Annual Estimated Number of 

Burden Hours: 

EIA estimates the following burden 

hours per response for the Petroleum 

Supply Reporting System survey 

forms: 

Weekly Survey Forms 

EIA–800, 1.58 hours; EIA–802, 0.95 

hours; EIA–803, 0.5 hours; EIA–804, 

1.75 hours; EIA–805, 1.6 hours; EIA– 

809, 1 hour;

817, 2.25 hours; EIA–819, 1.75 hours; 

Annual Survey Forms 

EIA–820, 2.00 hours. 

Based on these estimates and the 

estimates in (6), EIA estimates an annual 

total of 231,531 burden hours for the 

Petroleum Supply Reporting System. 

(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.
