SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title of Collection: Making Ends Meet 

Survey. 

OMB Control Number: 3170–0066. 

Type of Review: Request for approval 

of a generic information collection 

under an existing Generic Information 

Collection Plan. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Estimated Number of Respondents:

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 1,263. 

Abstract: Under the Dodd-Frank Wall 

Street Reform and Consumer Protection 

Act, the Consumer Financial Protection 

Bureau is charged with researching, 

analyzing, and reporting on topics 

relating to the Bureau’s mission, 

including consumer behavior, consumer 

awareness, and developments in 

markets for consumer financial products 

and services. To improve its 

understanding of how consumers 

engage with financial markets, the 

Bureau has successfully used the 

Consumer Credit Panel (CCP), a 

proprietary sample dataset from one of 

the national credit reporting agencies, as 

a frame to survey people about their 

experiences in consumer credit markets. 

This series of surveys solicits 

information on the consumer’s 

experience related to household 

financial shocks, particularly shocks 

related to the economic effects of the 

COVID–19 pandemic, how households 

respond to those shocks, and the role of 

savings to help provide a financial 

buffer. Additional topics in this round 

of the survey include debt collection, 

healthcare, housing, and financial 

decision-making, attitudes, and 

perspectives. The survey will go to a 

new random sample of consumers from 

the CCP. All research under this 

collection will be related to the 

household balance sheet, and, thus, will 

be for general, formative, and 

informational research on consumer 

financial markets and consumers’ use of 

financial products and will not directly 

provide the basis for specific 

policymaking at the Bureau. 

Request for Comments: The Bureau is 

publishing this notice and soliciting 

comments directed to the Office of 

management and Budget on: (a) 

Whether the collection of information is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the functions of the Bureau, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (b) The accuracy of the 

Bureau’s estimate of the burden of the 

collection of information, including the 

validity of the methods and the 

assumptions used; (c) Ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (d) 

Ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

Comments submitted in response to this 

notice will be reviewed by OMB as part 

of its review of this request. All 

comments will become a matter of 

public record. 

Special Request for Comments: The 

proposed survey contains more 

questions than the Bureau intends to 

mail, the Bureau solicits comments on 

which questions provide the most value. 

Comments submitted in response to this 

notice will be submitted to OMB as part 

of its review of this request. All 

comments will become a matter of 

public record.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Energy Information Administration 

Agency Information Collection 

Extension 

AGENCY: U.S. Energy Information 

Administration (EIA), U.S. Department 

of Energy (DOE). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: EIA has submitted an 

information collection request for 

extension as required by the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995. The information 

collection requests a three-year 

extension of its Oil and Gas Reserves 

System Surveys, OMB No. 1905–0057: 

Extension without changes of Form 

EIA–64A, Annual Report of the Origin 

of Natural Gas Liquids Production; 

Revision of Form EIA–23L, Annual 

Report of Domestic Oil and Gas 

Reserves, County Level Report; and 

continued suspension of Form EIA–23S, 

Annual Survey of Domestic Oil and Gas 

Reserves, Summary Level Report. Form 

EIA–23L is the only form that EIA 

proposes to change. There are no 

proposed changes to Forms EIA–64A 

and EIA–23S. The proposed collection 

will be used to prepare electronic 

annual reports of U.S. proved reserves 

data that fulfill EIA’s congressional 

mandate to provide accurate annual 

estimates of U.S. proved crude oil and 

natural gas reserves. The U.S. 

Government also uses the resulting 

information in EIA’s reports to develop 

national and regional estimates of 

proved reserves of domestic crude oil 

and natural gas to facilitate national 

energy policy decisions. 

DATES: Comments on this information 

collection must be received no later 

than July 6, 2022. If you anticipate that 

you will be submitting comments but 

find it difficult to do so within the 

period allowed by this notice, please 

advise the OMB Desk Officer of your 

intention to make a submission as soon 

as possible. The Desk Officer may be 

telephoned at (202) 881–8585.

(2) Information Collection Request 

Title: Oil and Gas Reserves System; 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
34258 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 108 / Monday, June 6, 2022 / Notices 

(3) Type of Request: Three-year 

extension with changes; revision of the 

currently approved Form EIA–23L; 

extension without changes of Form 

EIA–64A; and continued suspension of 

collection of the currently approved 

Form EIA–23S; 

(4) Purpose: In response to Public Law 

95–91 Section 657, estimates of U.S. oil 

and gas reserves are to be reported 

annually. Many U.S. government 

agencies have an interest in proved oil 

and gas reserves and the quality, 

reliability, and usefulness of reserves 

estimates. Among these are the U.S. 

Energy Information Administration 

(EIA), Department of Energy; Bureau of 

Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), 

Department of Interior; Internal Revenue 

Service (IRS), Department of the 

Treasury; and the Securities and 

Exchange Commission (SEC). Each of 

these organizations has specific 

purposes for collecting, using, or 

estimating proved reserves. EIA has a 

congressional mandate to provide 

accurate annual estimates of U.S. 

proved crude oil, natural gas, and 

natural gas liquids reserves, and EIA 

presents annual reserves data in EIA 

reports to meet this requirement. The 

BOEM maintains estimates of proved 

reserves to carry out their 

responsibilities in leasing, collecting 

royalty payments, and regulating the 

activities of oil and gas companies on 

Federal lands and water. Accurate 

reserve estimates are important, as the 

BOEM is second only to the IRS in 

generating Federal revenue. For the IRS, 

proved reserves and occasionally 

probable reserves are an essential 

component of calculating taxes for 

companies owning or producing oil and 

gas. The SEC requires publicly traded 

petroleum companies to annually file a 

reserves statement as part of their 10–K 

filing. The basic purpose of the 10–K 

filing is to provide public investors with 

a clear and reliable financial basis to 

assess the relative value, as a financial 

asset, of a company’s reserves, 

especially in comparison to other 

similar oil and gas companies. The 

Government also uses the resulting 

information to develop national and 

regional estimates of proved reserves of 

domestic crude oil and natural gas to 

facilitate national energy policy 

decisions. These estimates are essential 

to the development, implementation, 

and evaluation of energy policy and 

legislation. Data are used directly in EIA 

Web reports concerning U.S. crude oil 

and natural gas reserves, and are 

incorporated into a number of other 

Web reports and analyses; 

(4a) Changes to Information 

Collection: EIA proposes to make the 

following changes to Form EIA–23L, 

Annual Report of Domestic Oil and Gas 

Reserves: 

• Schedule A of Form EIA–23L, 

which collected annual proved reserves 

and production data for four fuel types 

(crude oil, associated-dissolved natural 

gas, non-associated natural gas, and 

lease condensate) on a county-level 

basis will be changed to collect annual 

proved reserves and production data for 

two fuel types (crude oil plus lease 

condensate, and total natural gas) on a 

state/state subdivision-level basis. 

• Schedule A of Form EIA–23L, 

which used three reservoir type codes 

(C—conventional, LP—low 

permeability, and SH—shale) to 

subdivide county-level proved reserves 

data within Schedule A will be changed 

to two separate report parts: Parts 4 and 

5. 

Æ Part 4 will list the combined total 

of annual proved reserves and 

production data on a state- and state 

subdivision-level basis 

Æ Part 5 will separately list that 

portion of annual proved reserves and 

production sourced only from shale 

reservoirs on a state- and state 

subdivision-level basis. 

• A fillable spreadsheet version of the 

new Form EIA–23L will replace the 

current PDF version of Form EIA–23L 

and its E-file software (the Reserves 

Information Gathering System (RIGS). 

Comments and Feedback are 

requested on these proposed changes to 

Form EIA–23L; 

(5) Annual Estimated Number of 

Respondents: Forms EIA–23L/23S/64A: 

1,100; 

(6) Annual Estimated Number of 

Total Responses: Forms EIA–23L/23S/ 

64A: 1,100; 

(7) Annual Estimated Number of 

Burden Hours: 19,100 hours; 

Form EIA–23L Annual Survey of 

Domestic Oil and Gas Reserves, State/ 

State Subdivision report: 31 hours 

average per response (500 operators): 

15,500 hours total. 

Form EIA–23S Annual Survey of 

Domestic Oil and Gas Reserves, 

Summary Level Report: 0 hours 

(Currently suspended). 

Form EIA–64A Annual Report of the 

Origin of Natural Gas Liquids 

Production: 6 hours (600 natural gas 

plant operators): 3,600 hours total. 

(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Cost Burden: Forms 

EIA–23L/23S/64A: EIA estimates that 

there are no capital and start-up costs 

associated with this data collection. The 

information is maintained in the normal 

course of business. The cost of burden 

hours to the respondents is estimated to 

be $1,592,558 (19,100 burden hours 

times $83.38 per hour). Therefore, other 

than the cost of burden hours, EIA 

estimates that there are no additional 

costs for generating, maintaining and 

providing the information.
