Abstract: The PSRS consists of seven weekly surveys that make up the Weekly Petroleum Supply Reporting System (WPSRS), eight monthly surveys, and one annual survey. The weekly petroleum and biofuels supply surveys collect data on petroleum refinery operations, blending, biofuels production, inventory levels, imports of crude oil, petroleum products, and biofuels from samples of operating companies. The monthly and annual petroleum and biofuels supply surveys collect data on petroleum refinery operations, blending, biofuels production, natural gas plant liquids production, inventory levels, imports, inter-regional movements, and storage capacity for crude oil, petroleum products, and biofuels.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

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 pretesting interviews 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 Supply surveys for the following clearance schedule. This will help improve ongoing surveys and reduce errors due to respondent confusion. The net reduction of -23,153 hours in annual burden from 2022 is primarily based on EIA’s online cognitive testing, which collected substantially decreased respondent-reported burden estimates for the EIA-800, EIA-805, EIA-810, and EIA-815. (See A.8. Summary of Consultations Outside Agency for specific key findings.) Given this key finding that technology has substantially reduced reporting burden for respondents on these four surveys, EIA decided to reduce the burden to respond (annual hours) by 10%, the exception is the EIA-804 and EIA-814 based on the 2019 cognitive research described in section A8 of the Supporting Statement A. Adding respondents for EIA-806 increased the total number of respondents, but the overall burden decreased because of the reassessment of burden hours as a result of the pretesting.
