Abstract: Under the Interstate
Commerce Act (ICA),3 the Commission
is authorized and empowered to make
1 Due to expiration dates in 2019 for many of the
Commission’s financial forms, the renewal work for
several of the forms was in process or pending at
OMB during the 2019 Forms Refresh rulemaking
effort in Docket No. RM19–12–000. The
simultaneous OMB processes required the
assignment of alternate temporary information
collection numbers (‘‘T’’) at the NOPR and/or final
rule stages. Accordingly, FERC Form Nos. 6T and
6–QT represent the additional burden associated
with final rule in RM19–12–000. Revisions to the
Filing Process for Comm’n Forms, Order No. 859,
167 FERC ¶ 61,241 (2019).
2 For purposes of this notice, unless otherwise
stated, FERC Form Nos. 6 and 6T are collectively
referred to as ‘‘FERC Form No. 6’’ and FERC Form
Nos. 6Q and 6–QT are collectively referred to as
‘‘FERC Form No. 6Q.’’ Because this renewal will
incorporate the requirements and burden
represented by the 6T and 6–QT into FERC Form
Nos. 6 and 6Q, respectively, it is anticipated that
the Commission will eventually seek to retire the
6T and 6–QT as duplicative.

investigations and to collect and record
data to the extent the Commission may
consider to be necessary or useful for
the purpose of carrying out the
provisions of the ICA. The Commission
must ensure just and reasonable rates
for transportation of crude oil and
petroleum products by pipelines in
interstate commerce.
FERC Form No. 6, Annual Report of Oil
Pipeline Companies
In 1977, the Department of Energy
Organization Act transferred to the
Commission from the Interstate
Commerce Commission (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.4 The transfer included
the ICC Form P, the predecessor to
FERC Form No. 6.5
To reduce burden on industry, FERC
Form No. 6 has three tiers of reporting
requirements:
1. 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 (18 CFR 357.2 (a)).
Oil pipeline companies subject to the
provisions of section 20 of the ICA must
submit FERC Form No. 6–Q. (18 CFR
357.4(b)). Newly established entities
must use projected data to determine
whether FERC Form No. 6 must be filed.
2. 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
4 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.’’
5 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’’.

page 1 of FERC Form No. 6, the
Identification and Attestation schedule
(18 CFR 357.2 (a)(2)).
3. Oil pipeline carriers exempt from
filing FERC Form No. 6 and pages 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. When submitting page 700,
each exempt oil pipeline carrier must
include page 1 of FERC Form No. 6, the
Identification and Attestation schedule
(18 CFR 357.2 (a)(3)).
The Commission uses the data in
FERC Form Nos. 6 and 6–Q to perform
audits and reviews on the financial
condition of oil pipelines; assess energy
markets; conduct oil pipeline rate
proceedings and economic analysis;
conduct research for use in
administrative litigation; and administer
the requirements of the ICA. Data from
FERC Form No. 6 facilitates the
calculation of the actual rate of return
on equity for oil pipelines. The actual
rate of return on equity is particularly
useful information when evaluating a
pipeline’s rates.
The Commission also uses data on
Page 301 of FERC Form No. 6 to
compute annual charges which are then
assessed against oil pipeline companies
to recover the Commission’s annual
costs as mandated by Order No. 472.
The annual charges are required by
Section 3401 of the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1986.
Furthermore, the majority of state
regulatory commissions use FERC Form
Nos. 6 and 6–Q and the Commission’s
Uniform System of Accounts (USofA) to
satisfy their reporting requirements for
those companies under their
jurisdiction. In addition, the public uses
the data in FERC Form Nos. 6 and 6–
Q to assist in monitoring rates, the
financial condition of the oil pipeline
industry, and in assessing energy
markets.
FERC Form No. 6–Q, Quarterly
Financial Report of Oil Pipeline
Companies
The Commission uses the information
collected in FERC Form No. 6–Q to
carry out its responsibilities in
implementing the statutory provisions
of the ICA to include the authority to
prescribe rules and regulations
concerning accounts, records, and
memoranda, as necessary or
appropriate. Financial accounting and
reporting provides necessary
information concerning a company’s
past performance and its future
prospects. Without reliable financial

statements prepared in accordance with
the Commission’s USofA and related
regulations, it would be difficult for the
Commission to accurately determine the
costs that relate to a particular time
period, service, or line of business.
The Commission uses data from FERC
Form No. 6–Q to assist in: (1)
Implementation of its financial audits
and programs; (2) continuous review of
the financial condition of regulated
companies; (3) assessment of energy
markets; and (4) rate proceedings and
economic analyses.
Financial information reported on the
quarterly FERC Form No. 6–Q provides
the Commission, as well as customers,
investors and others, an important tool
to help identify emerging trends and

software application called Visual
FoxPro (VFP). This application is no
longer supported by its developer,
Microsoft Corporation. As a result, in
April 2015, the Commission issued an
order announcing its intention to
replace the VFP filing format for certain
Commission forms (including FERC
Form Nos. 6 and 6–Q) with an
eXtensible Markup Language (XML)based filing format. On June 20, 2019,
the Commission issued Order No. 859,
which adopted XBRL as the standard for
filing FERC Form Nos. 6 and 6–Q and
certain other Commission forms.6

The quarterly filings are generally a

reason, the XBRL burden (‘‘6–QT’’)
hours are ‘‘0’’ because the burden
associated with the 6–QT is already

collections of information, including the

minimize the burden of the collections
of information on those who are to
