The Petroleum Supply Reporting System
(PSRS) produces data that are used in statistical and analytical
reports as well as forecasts produced by the U.S. Energy
Information Administration (EIA). Reports and forecasts produced by
EIA are essential to accomplish the agency's mission to promote
sound policy making, efficient markets, and public understanding of
energy and its interaction with the economy and the environment.

This ICR combines forms from
two previously approved ICRs, OMB Control Nos. 1905-0165 (PSRS) and
1905-0207 (Form EIA-22M). Note that the previously approved burden
hours (shown above) reflect only those approved hours associated
with 1905-0165. Therefore the burden calculation does not reflect
the actual total change in burden for the entire collection. Total
existing burden for the two ICRs combined is 216,249 hours (210,859
(PSRS ICR) + 5,400 (EIA-22M ICR) plus 10 (adjustment for error of
901 vs 891 for Form EIA-13 burden increase approved 12/9/10)).
Total estimated burden for the 2013 proposed collection is 213,562
hours resulting in a net decrease of 2,687 burden hours. Total
existing annual number of responses for the two ICRs combined is
93,953 (92,153 (PSRS ICR) + 1,800 (EIA-22M ICR). Total estimated
annual responses for the 2013 proposed collection is 102,108. ROCIS
help desk representative explained that there is no connection
between ICRs/Control Numbers. Therefore there is no way to link the
approved burden between the two ICRs to calculate the correct total
existing burden for the combined collection. ROCIS help desk
representative advised including the burden from OMB Control No.
1905-0207 by adding an IC with the information for that collection;
that collection has been added here as a new IC. EIA intends to
discontinue the single-form ICR for Form EIA-22M OMB Control No.
1905-0207 that is included in this package. Form EIA-801 is being
is being identified as 'removed' from the collection and is shown
as part of the IC list with a label of 'REMOVED'. The previously
approved burden for this form has not been included in the current
ICR because EIA has no plan to continue the collection.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
