AGENCY:

EIA submitted an information
collection request for the three-year
extension, with changes, to the
Petroleum Marketing Program (PMP) as
required under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. EIA’s PMP
collects volumetric and price
information needed for determining the
supply of and demand for crude oil and
refined petroleum products.
DATES: Comments on this information
collection must be received no later
than December 20, 2024. Written
comments and recommendations for the
proposed information collection should
be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/
do/PRAMain. Find this particular
information collection by selecting
‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open
for Public Comments’’ or by using the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
information collection request contains:
(1) OMB No.: 1905–0174;
(2) Information Collection Request
Title: Petroleum Marketing Program;
(3) Type of Request: Three-year
extension with changes;
(4) Purpose: The surveys included in
the Petroleum Marketing Program
collect volume and price information
needed for determining the supply of
and demand for crude oil and refined
petroleum products. These surveys
provide a basic set of data pertaining to
the structure, efficiency, and behavior of
petroleum markets. These data are
published by EIA on its website, at
https://www.eia.gov. The Petroleum
Marketing Program consists of the
following surveys: Form EIA–14
Refiners’ Monthly Cost Report; Form

khammond on DSK9W7S144PROD with NOTICES

EIA–182 Domestic Crude Oil First
Purchase Report; Form EIA–856
Monthly Foreign Crude Oil Acquisition
Report; Form EIA–877 Winter Heating
Fuels Telephone Survey; Form EIA–878
Motor Gasoline Price Survey; Form EIA–
888 On-Highway Diesel Fuel Price
Survey;
(4a) Proposed Changes to Information
Collection:
Form EIA–888, On-Highway Diesel
Fuel Price Survey (Potential Change
to Data Collection Form and
Instructions)
EIA proposes modifying Form EIA–
888, On-Highway Diesel Fuel Price
Survey, to include a checkbox allowing
stations to indicate that they do not sell
diesel fuel. This designation will make
it easier to identify stations that are no
longer in scope for the survey but are
still in operation.
(4b) Proposed Survey
Discontinuations:
EIA is requesting the discontinuation
and removal of the following four
surveys from the Petroleum Marketing
Program:
Form EIA–863, Petroleum Product
Sales Identification Survey
The EIA–863, Petroleum Product
Sales Identification Survey, has been
suspended since 2011, with the last
completed survey cycle occurring for
2006 data. Surveys previously reliant on
these data for sample design have
implemented new sampling
methodologies, which no longer require
these data. EIA proposes formally
discontinuing this survey.
Form EIA–782A, Refiners’/Gas Plant
Operators’ Monthly Petroleum Product
Sales Report, Form EIA–782C, Monthly
Report of Prime Supplier Sales of
Petroleum Products Sold for Local
Consumption, and Form EIA–821,
Annual Fuel Oil and Kerosene Sales
Report
To concentrate limited EIA and
respondent resources on more timely
products, EIA proposes eliminating the
EIA–782A, Refiners’/Gas Plant
Operators’ Monthly Petroleum Product
Sales Report, the EIA–782C, Monthly
Report of Prime Supplier Sales of
Petroleum Products Sold for Local
Consumption, and the EIA–821, Annual
Fuel Oil and Kerosene Sales Report,
surveys. EIA remains committed to
balancing the costs associated with
collecting data (for both respondents
and taxpayers) with the benefits of
providing a more complete data set. The
U.S. energy industry is dynamic, and
our surveys and publications have and
will continue to evolve to provide the

best value to the American people in
support of efficient energy markets. We
continue to explore opportunities to
incorporate similar data from other
sources.
(5) Annual Estimated Number of
Respondents: 5,241;
(6) Annual Estimated Number of
Total Responses: 199,792;
(7) Annual Estimated Number of
Burden Hours: 28,557;
(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Cost Burden: $ 2,603,256
(28,557 annual burden hours multiplied
by $91.16 per hour), a reduction from $
5,147,216 (63,040 annual burden hours
multiplied by $81.65 per hour) in 2021.
EIA estimates that respondents will
have no additional costs associated with
the surveys other than the burden hours
and the maintenance of the information
during the normal course of business.
Statutory Authority: 15 U.S.C. 772(b)
and 42 U.S.C. 7101 et seq.

Western Area Power
Administration, DOE.
ACTION: Notice of rate.
AGENCY:

The formula rates for the
Rocky Mountain (RM) region’s Loveland
Area Projects (LAP) firm electric service
and sale of surplus products have been
confirmed, approved, and placed into
effect on an interim basis (Provisional
Formula Rates). LAP consists of the
Fryingpan-Arkansas Project (Fry-Ark)
and the Pick-Sloan Missouri Basin
Program (P–SMBP)—Western Division,
which were integrated for marketing
and ratemaking purposes in 1989. These
new formula rates replace the existing
formula rates for these services under
Rate Schedules L–F12, Firm Electric
Service; and L–M3, Sale of Surplus
Products, which expire on December 31,
2027. The LAP firm electric service
composite rate is increasing over a 2year period with an 8.8 percent increase
on January 1, 2025, and an additional
8.2 percent increase on January 1, 2026.
There are no changes to the formula rate
for sale of surplus products.
