FERC Form No. 6, Annual Report of Oil Pipeline Companies 2
OMB Control No.: 1902-0022
Abstract: Under the Interstate Commerce Act (ICA), (Section 20, 54 Stat. 916), the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) was authorized and empowered to make investigations and to collect and record data to the extent considered necessary or useful for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of the ICA.
In 1977, the Department of Energy Organization Act transferred to the Commission from the ICC the responsibility to regulate oil pipeline companies. In accordance with the transfer of authority, the Commission was delegated the responsibility to require oil pipelines to file annual reports of information necessary for the Commission to exercise its statutory responsibilities.3 The transfer included the Form P, the predecessor to the FERC Form No. 6, Annual Report of Oil Pipeline Companies (Form 6).4
To reduce burden on industry, the FERC Form No. 6 has three tiers of reporting requirements:
Each oil pipeline carrier whose annual jurisdictional operating revenues has been $500,000 or more for each of the three previous calendar years must file FERC Form No. 6. Oil pipeline carriers submitting a complete FERC Form No. 6 must submit FERC Form 6-Q.5 Newly established entities must use projected data to determine whether FERC Form No. 6 must be filed.
Oil pipeline carriers exempt from filing FERC Form No. 6 whose annual jurisdictional operating revenues have been more than $350,000 but less than $500,000 for each of the three previous calendar years must prepare and file page 301, “Operating Revenue Accounts (Account 600), and page 700, “Annual cost of Service Based Analysis Schedule,” of FERC Form No. 6. When submitting pages 301 and 700, each exempt oil pipeline carrier must include page 1 of the FERC Form No. 6, the Identification and Attestation schedules.
Oil pipeline carriers exempt from filing FERC Form No. 6 and page 301 and whose annual jurisdictional operating revenues were $350,000 or less for each of the three previous calendar years must prepare and file page 700, “Annual Cost of Service Based Analysis Schedule,” of FERC Form No. 6.
The Commission uses the FERC Form No. 6 information in:
implementation of its financial audits and programs, the continuous review of the financial condition of regulated companies, and the assessment of energy markets
various rate proceedings and economic analyses
background research for use in litigation
programs relating to the administration of the ICA
computation of annual charges, which are required by Section 3401 of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986.
Type of Respondent: Oil Pipelines
Estimate of Annual Burden: The Commission estimates the annual public reporting burden6 and cost7 for the FERC Form No. 6 information collection as follows.

FERC Form No. 580, Interrogatory on Fuel and Energy Purchase Practices
OMB Control No.: 1902-0137
Abstract: FERC Form No. 580 is collected in even numbered years. The Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA)8 amended the Federal Power Act (FPA) and directed the Commission to make comprehensive biennial reviews of certain matters related to automatic adjustment clauses (AACs) in wholesale rate schedules used by public utilities subject to the Commission’s jurisdiction. Specifically, the Commission is required to examine whether the clauses effectively provide the incentives for efficient use of resources and whether the clauses reflect only those costs that are either ‘‘subject to periodic fluctuations’’ or ‘‘not susceptible to precise determinations’’ in rate cases prior to the time the costs are incurred.
The Commission is also required to review the practices of each public utility under AACs ‘‘to insure efficient use of resources under such clauses.’’9 In response to the PURPA directive, the Commission (Docket Number IN79–6-000) established an investigation. Beginning in 1982, the Commission collected ‘‘Interrogatory on Fuel and Energy Purchase Practices’’ data every other year.
Based on filer comments in response to the new electronic form used in the 2014 collections, FERC recommends the following changes to the instructions. FERC is not changing the requirements of the information collection.

1 The Commission defines burden as the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. For further explanation of what is included in the information collection burden, reference 5 Code of Federal Regulations 1320.3.
2 The renewal request for the FERC Form No. 6 in this IC docket is for the current form, with no change to the reporting requirements.
The FERC Form No. 6 is also part of the Forms Refresh effort (started in Docket No. AD15-11), which is a separate activity and not addressed in this Notice.
In addition, there is a pending Docket No. RM15-19 which is a separate activity and is not addressed in this Notice.
3 Section 402(b) of the Department of Energy Organization Act (DOE Act), 42 U.S.C. 7172 provides that; "[t]here are hereby transferred to, and vested in, the Commission all functions and authority of the Interstate Commerce Commission or any officer or component of such Commission where the regulatory function establishes rates or charges for the transportation of oil by pipeline or established the valuation of any such pipeline."
4 The ICC developed the Form P to collect information on an annual basis to enable it to carry out its regulation of oil pipeline companies under the Interstate Commerce Act. A comprehensive review of the reporting requirements for oil pipeline companies was performed on September 21, 1982, when the Commission issued Order 260 revising the former ICC Form P, "Annual Report of Carriers by Pipeline" and redesignating it as FERC Form No. 6, "Annual Report of Oil Pipeline Companies”.
5 FERC Form 6-Q is covered separately and is approved by OMB under OMB Control No. 1902-0206. It is not a subject of this Notice; FERC Form 6-Q is being addressed separately in Docket No. IC16-7-000.
6 The burden associated with the one-time re-filing of Page 700 data for Years 2009-2011 has been completed and is not included.
7 The cost is based on FERC’s 2016 average cost (salary plus benefits) of $74.50/hour. The Commission staff believes that the industry’s level and skill set is comparable to FERC.
8 Enacted November 8, 1978
9 The review requirement is set forth in two paragraphs of Section 208 of PURPA, 49 Stat.851; 16 U.S.C. 824d.
10 The attached form is for illustrative purposes only and does not include all the interactive features of the actual form.
11 The Commission defines burden as the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. For further explanation of what is included in the information collection burden, reference 5 Code of Federal Regulations 1320.3.
12 The FERC Form 580 data is collected on a biennial basis. In order to represent the burden appropriately, the “Annual Number of Responses per Respondent” is assigned a figure of 0.5. This figure means that one response per respondent is received on average for each two year period. The “Total Annual Burden Hours & Total Annual Cost” figures are all annual figures based on the biennial frequency assumption.
13 The estimates for cost per response are derived using the 2016 FERC average salary plus benefits of $154,647/year (or $74.50/hour). Commission staff finds that the work done for this information collection is typically done by wage categories similar to those at FERC.
14 As detailed in 18 CFR § 101(Uniform System of Accounts Prescribed for Public Utilities and Licensees Subject to the Provision of the Federal Power Act, General Instructions) and 18 CFR 141.1.
15 The cost estimate (wages plus benefits) is $78.66/hour and is used for the Form Nos. 1, 1-F, and 3-Q. The $78.66/hour (wages plus benefits) is based on figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics National Industry-Specific Occupational and Employment Wage Estimates (May 2015 estimates at http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/naics2_22.htm, and benefits information for December 2015 at http://www.bls.gov/news.release/ecec.nr0.htm) and is an average of the following:
management (code 11-0000) of $88.94/hour
business and financial operations occupations (code 13-0000) of $56.86/hour
legal (code 23-0000) of $128.94/hour
office and administrative support (code 43-0000) of $39.91/hour.
16 As detailed in 18 CFR § 101 (Uniform System of Accounts Prescribed for Public Utilities and Licensees Subject to the Provision of the Federal Power Act, General Instructions) and 18 CFR 141.2.
17 18 CFR § 260.1(b) states that for natural gas companies, Major, as defined by the Natural Gas Act, pertains to a company whose combined gas transported or stored for a fee exceed 50 million Dth in each of the three previous calendar years. 18 CFR § 260.2(b) states that for natural gas companies, Nonmajor as defined by the Natural Gas Act, pertains to a company not meeting the filing threshold for Major, but having total gas sales or volume transactions exceeding 200,000 Dth in each of the three previous calendar years.
18 The estimated number of electric filers of the Form No. 3-Q is 213 (rather than the 215 total for the number of filers of the Form Nos. 1 and 1-F) due to standing waivers for two coops who do not file the Form No. 3-Q.
