Short Statement:
There will be an increase of 50 new respondents per year with an annual burden of 75 hours. This increase is due to the program wanting to continually improve its data collection and survey initiatives. EIA will conduct up to 50 evaluative methodology techniques each year for testing purposes. These methodologies will test or evaluate new terminology, unclear questions in surveys, unclear instructions, or questions that may be added to the Petroleum Marketing Program surveys for the following clearance schedule. This will help improve ongoing surveys and reduce errors due to respondent confusion. The decrease of 359 annual burden hours as shown under “Change Due to Agency Discretion” in Tables A2 and Table A3 is largely due to the decrease in the number of respondents reporting on Forms EIA-14, EIA-182, EIA-782A, EIA-782C, EIA-821, and EIA-856. This decrease is due to changes in the market such as company mergers, acquisitions, and deaths. Even though the overall burden decreased, there are burden increases in the EIA-877, EIA-878, and EIA-888. EIA is expanding the EIA-877 to year-round data collection. Due to many requests from internal and external stakeholders, EIA will collect a monthly residential propane and heating oil price during the off-season, April to September, beginning April 2023. This change will close this data gap and increase the burden hours by 722 hours. The burden increase of 929 hours for the EIA-878 is due to selecting two supplemental birth samples since the implementation of the original sample in May 2018. In 2018 and 2020, birth samples of size 145 and 187, respectively, were selected. This will ensure accurate coverage. EIA changed the sampling and estimation methodologies for the EIA-888. This resulted in an increase of 1,407 burden hours as the sample size increased from 403 to 590 diesel fuel outlets. See Supporting Statement B for a detailed explanation of the changes in the sample design. All changes are reported as Changes Due to Agency Discretion because it was within EIA’s discretion to redesign the EIA-888 sample and augment the EIA-878 sample to ensure EIA has adequate coverage to increase the accuracy of the retail price estimates.
