DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Energy Information Administration 

Agency Information Collection 

Extension 

AGENCY: U.S. Energy Information 

Administration (EIA), Department of 

Energy. 

ACTION: Notice and request for OMB 

review and comment. 

SUMMARY: The EIA has submitted an 

information collection request to the 

OMB for extension under the provisions 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. 

The information collection requests a 

three-year extension of Form FE–746R, 

‘‘Natural Gas Imports and Exports,’’ 

OMB Control Number 1901–0294. The 

proposed collection will support DOE’s 

Office of Fossil Energy (FE) in the 

collection of critical information on U.S. 

natural gas trade. Data collected include 

name of importer/exporter; country of 

origin/destination; international point of 

entry/exit; name of supplier; volume; 

price; transporters; U.S. geographic 

market(s) served; and duration of supply 

contract on a monthly basis. The data, 

published in Natural Gas Imports and 

Exports, are used to monitor North 

American gas trade, and to support 

various market and regulatory analyses 

performed by FE. 

DATES: Comments regarding this 

proposed information collection must 

be received on or before May 29, 2013. 

If you anticipate that you will be 

submitting comments, but find it 

difficult to do so within the period of 

time allowed by this notice, please 

advise the DOE Desk Officer at OMB of 

your intention to make a submission as 

soon as possible. The Desk Officer may 

be telephoned at 202–395–4718. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments should 

be sent to the: 

DOE Desk Officer, Office of Information 

and Regulatory Affairs, Office of 

Management and Budget, New 

Executive Office Building, Room 

10102, 735 17th Street NW., 

Washington, DC 20503. 

And to: 

Lisa Tracy, U.S. Department of Energy, 

Office of Fossil Energy, Office of 

Natural Gas Regulatory Activities 

(FE–34), P.O. Box 44375, Washington, 

DC 20026–4375, Phone: (202) 586– 

4523, Fax: (202) 586–6050. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Requests for additional information or 

copies of the information collection 

instrument and instructions should be 

directed to Lisa Tracy at the contact 

information above. Alternatively, Ms. 

Tracy may be emailed at 

lisa.tracy@hq.doe.gov. Copies of the 

information collection instruments and 

instructions can also be viewed at

gasregulation/report_guidelines.html. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

information collection request contains: 

(1) OMB No.: 1901–0294; (2) 

Information Collection Request Title: 

Natural Gas Imports and Exports; (3) 

Type of Request: Three-Year Extension; 

(4) Purpose: The Federal Energy 

Administration Act of 1974 (15 U.S.C. 

761 et seq.) and the DOE Organization 

Act (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 (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. 

DOE’s Office of Fossil Energy (FE) is 

delegated the authority to regulate 

natural gas imports and exports under 

section 3 of the Natural Gas Act of 1938, 

15 U.S.C. 717b. In order to carry out its 

delegated responsibility, FE requires 

those persons seeking to import or 

export natural gas to file an application 

providing basic information on the 

scope and nature of the proposed 

import/export activity. Once an 

importer or exporter receives 

authorization from FE, they are required 

to submit monthly reports of all import 

and export transactions. Form FE–746R 

collects critical information on U.S. 

natural gas trade including: name of 

importer/exporter; country of origin/ 

destination; international point of entry/ 

exit; name of supplier; volume; price; 

transporters; U.S. geographic market(s) 

served; and duration of supply contract 

on a monthly basis. The data, published 

in Natural Gas Imports and Exports, are 

used to ensure compliance with the 

terms and conditions of the 

authorizations. In addition, the data are 

used to monitor North American gas 

trade, which, in turn, enables the 

Federal government to perform market 

and regulatory analyses; improve the 

capability of industry and the 

government to respond to any future 

energy-related supply problems; and 

keep the general public informed of
