Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
Three-Year PSRS Extension Continues Reporting
The Energy Information Administration is requesting a three-year extension of the Petroleum Supply Reporting System (PSRS), OMB Control No. 1905-0165, keeping seven weekly, eight monthly, and two annual surveys active. EIA estimates 6,523 respondents, 114,891 total responses, 176,071 annual burden hours, and an annual reporting and recordkeeping cost burden of $16,716,181; respondents are expected to incur no additional costs beyond these burden hours and normal business recordkeeping.
Monthly Biofuels Form: Name, Disclosure, Part Removed
Form EIA-819 will be renamed to 'Monthly Report of Fuels from Non-Biogenic Waste and Biofuels', its disclosure language for feedstock consumption will be revised to align with other PSRS surveys (allowing publication of aggregate feedstock consumption data), and Part 10 will be discontinued because respondents have not reported data there. EIA notes the disclosure change could allow estimation of a specific respondent's data when few firms report or the data are dominated by one or two large respondents.
Annual Storage Data Moved to New Standby Form EIA-830
EIA will remove annual storage-capacity supplements from monthly forms EIA-810, EIA-813, and EIA-815 and collect that information on a new Form EIA-830, Annual Storage Capacity Report (standby). EIA says moving the annual data to a standalone annual (standby) form eliminates respondent confusion and unnecessary burden caused by monthly reporting of annual data and will activate the standby form only as needed in times of significant market change or emergency.
Weekly Imports Form Country List Updated
Form EIA-804 (Weekly Imports Report) will have its Part 4 country list updated: Azerbaijan, China, Indonesia, Oman, and Thailand will be removed and replaced with Guyana, Kazakhstan, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Ghana, and Senegal. EIA says this change will improve the published snapshot of U.S. crude oil trade in the Weekly Petroleum Status Report (WPSR).
