3. OMB Number 1905-NEW.
4. NEW.
5. Mandatory.
6. The purposes of the survey are to collect information and
produce periodic reports about the operational status of U.S. natural
gas processing plants to improve public understanding of their
production capacities and operating levels as well as to monitor
constraints resulting from natural gas supply emergencies. The survey
consists of Schedule A ``Baseline Report,'' a census which will be used
to collect baseline operational information on all U.S. natural gas
processing plants. Schedule A will collect information as frequently as
every three years and the information will be used for periodic reports
on the plants as well as to develop the survey frame for Schedule B
``Emergency Status Report''. In the event of a natural gas supply
emergency, Schedule B will collect information about operating levels,
damage and recovery of operations.
7. Operators of natural gas processing plants.
8. 84 hours annually.
