The Form No. 6 is designed to collect financial and operational information from oil pipeline companies subject to the jurisdiction of the Commission.
On July 18, 2013, the Commission issued a Final Rule in Docket No. RM12-18-000, Revisions to Page 700 of FERC Form No. 6. In the Final Rule the Commission augments the reporting requirements on page 700, Annual Cost of Service Based Analysis Schedule, of FERC Form No. 6, Annual Report of Oil Pipeline Companies (Form 6), to include additional information on rate base, rate of return, and income taxes.
US Code:
49 USC 20
Name of Law: Interstate Commerce Act
The existing number of respondents for the Form 6 has decreased by 5 (from 166 to 161) based on the most recent year filings. This leads to a decrease in the burden of 813 hours and 10 responses.
The program change (0.5 added hours per filing), triggered by the Final Rule in Docket RM12-18, is due to the additional time necessary to report the additional data on page 700 (for those filers required to file Page 700). The increase is minimal because the respondents should already have the required data on hand, as part of the calculations they have had to make.
