Dear Respondent:
Your plant or facility has been selected to participate in the Energy Information
Administration’s (EIA) EIA-757, “Natural Gas Processing Plant Survey, “Baseline
Report,” Schedule A.” This schedule is being used to collect information on plant
characteristics, operations and operator contacts.
Your response to this survey is essential for EIA to prepare accurate and timely
information about natural gas processing plants.
The survey will be mandatory pursuant to the Federal Energy Administration (FEA) Act
of 1974, Public Law 93-275, and will be protected and not disclosed to the public to the
extent that it satisfies the criteria for exemption under the Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 522, the Department of Energy regulations, 10 C.F.R. §1004.11,
implementing the FOIA, and the Trade Secrets Act, 18 U.S.C. §1905.
The Federal Energy Administration Act requires the EIA to provide company-specific
data to other Federal agencies when requested for official use. The information reported
on this form may also be made available, upon request, to another component of the
Department of Energy; to any Committee of Congress, the Government Accountability
Office, or other Federal agencies authorized by law to receive such information. A court
of competent jurisdiction may obtain this information in response to an order. The
information may be used for any non-statistical purposes such as administrative,
regulatory, law enforcement, or adjudicatory purposes.
Disclosure limitation procedures are not applied to the statistical data published from this
survey’s information. Thus, there may be some statistics that are based on data from
fewer than three respondents, or that are dominated by data from one or two large

respondents. In these cases, it may be possible for a knowledgeable person to estimate
the information reported by a specific respondent.
You are required to report only for the facility identified in this letter. If you have
received more than one letter identifying separate facilities, you must respond separately
for each facility.
The survey will be conducted (specify frequency of reporting).
Every completed form is due to EIA by XX pm on (specify reporting requirement). The
completed form can be returned by: fax (202-586-xxxx) or email (#####@eia.doe.gov) or
mail (list address) or telephone to (202-586-xxxx).
If you have any questions, or need assistance in completing the form, please contact Lejla
Alic at 202-586-0858 or Lejla.Alic@eia.doe.gov.
We appreciate your participation in this important energy information program.
