Abstract: The Commission's regulatory jurisdiction over oil pipelines includes: • the regulation of rates and practices of oil pipeline companies engaged in interstate transportation; • the establishment of equal service conditions to provide shippers with equal access to pipeline transportation; and • the establishment of reasonable rates for transporting petroleum and petroleum products by pipeline. The filing requirements for oil pipeline tariffs and rates under the FERC-550 data collection provide the Commission with the information it needs to analyze the rates, practices, and service conditions of oil pipelines. As a result, the Commission can implement statutory directives for the federal regulation of these carriers. Major statutory and rate-making milestones in the Commission’s regulation of oil pipelines rates (“Historical Background of Oil Pipeline Ratemaking”) are included in reginfo.gov and ROCIS under “Supplementary Documents” and posted at https://www.ferc.gov/federal-statutes.
