SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This section contains the following
information about the energy information collection submitted to OMB
for review: (1) The collection numbers and title; (2) the sponsor

number (if applicable); (4) the type of request (i.e., new, revision,
extension, or reinstatement); (5) response obligation
[[Page 60099]]
(i.e., mandatory, voluntary, or required to obtain or retain benefits);
(6) a description of the need for and proposed use of the information;
(7) a categorical description of the likely respondents; and (8) an
estimate of the total annual reporting burden (i.e., the estimated
number of likely respondents times the proposed frequency of response
per year times the average hours per response).
1. The Petroleum Supply Reporting System includes the following
surveys:
EIA-800, Weekly Refinery and Fractionator Report (previously Weekly
Refinery Report),
EIA-801, Weekly Bulk Terminal Report,
EIA-802, Weekly Product Pipeline Report,
EIA-803, Weekly Crude Oil Stocks Report,
EIA-804, Weekly Imports Report,
EIA-810, Monthly Refinery Report,
EIA-811, Monthly Bulk Terminal Report,
EIA-812, Monthly Product Pipeline Report,
EIA-813, Monthly Crude Oil Report,
EIA-814, Monthly Imports Report,
EIA-816, Monthly Natural Gas Liquids Report,
EIA-817, Monthly Tanker and Barge Movement Report,
EIA-819, Monthly Oxygenate Report, (previously EIA-819M, Monthly
Oxygenate Telephone Report), and
EIA-820, Annual Refinery Report.
New Surveys Proposed
EIA-805, Weekly Terminal Blenders Report
EIA-815, Monthly Terminal Blenders Report
2. Energy Information Administration.
3. OMB Number 1905-0165.
4. Revision.
5. Mandatory.
6. EIA's Petroleum Supply Reporting System collects information
needed for determining the supply and disposition of crude oil,
petroleum products, and natural gas liquids. The data are published by
EIA and are used by public and private analysts. Respondents are
operators of petroleum refineries, blending plants, bulk terminals,
crude oil and product pipelines, natural gas plant facilities, tankers,
barges, and oil importers.
7. Business or other for profit; Federal Government; and State,
Local or Tribal Government.
8. 83,289 hours (2,590 respondents times 19.37 responses per year
times 1.66 hours per response).
The Office of Oil and Gas has made minor modifications subsequent
to those proposed in the FR notice for public comments. These
additional changes are based upon comments received in response to the
FR notice, along with changes in the industry.
These new changes are:
(1) EIA-819--delete the ``isobutylene'' category from the motor
gasoline blending component production
(2) EIA-811--Add the category ``unfinished oils'' with the
following subcategories:
a. Naphthas and Lighter
b. Kerosene and Light Gas Oils
c. Heavy Gas Oils
d. Residuum
(3) EIA-803 and EIA-813--Add a line for crude oil stocks at
Cushing, Oklahoma
(4) EIA-811--Collect the volumes of ultra-low sulfur distillate
fuel oil (15 ppm and under) downgraded at bulk terminals by PAD
District. Downgraded volumes include motor vehicle diesel fuel that was
designated as meeting the 15 ppm sulfur standard when it was produced
or imported but was later commingled with motor vehicle diesel fuel
meeting the 500 ppm sulfur standard. Downgrading of motor vehicle
diesel fuel meeting the 15 ppm sulfur standard may occur because the
fuel became mixed with higher-sulfur product in pipelines (i.e.
pipeline interface/transmix) or because sulfur was picked up at other
points in the petroleum distribution system (e.g. tanks, valves,
manifolds) causing the fuel to exceed the 15 ppm sulfur standard.
Please refer to the supporting statement as well as 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.
