The estimate of cost for respondents
is based upon salaries for professional
and clerical support, as well as direct
and indirect overhead costs. Direct costs
include all costs directly attributable to
providing this information, such as
administrative costs and the cost for
information technology. Indirect or
overhead costs are costs incurred by an
organization in support of its mission.
These costs apply to activities which
benefit the whole organization rather
than anyone particular function or
activity.
Comments are invited on: (1) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the Commission,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of
the agency’s estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.

Deputy Secretary.

‘‘Oil Pipeline Rates: Tariff Filings’’
(OMB No. 1902–0089) is used by the
Commission to implement the statutory
provisions governed by Part I, sections
1, 6 and 15 of the Interstate Commerce
Act (ICA) (Pub. L. 337,34 Stat. 384).
Jurisdiction over oil pipelines as it
relates to the establishment of rates or
charges for the transportation of oil by
pipeline or the establishment of
valuations for pipelines, was transferred
from the Interstate Commerce
Commission (ICC) to FERC, pursuant to
section 306 and 402 of the Department
of Energy Organization Act (DOE Act),
42 U.S.C. 7155 and 7172 and Executive
Order No. 12009, 42 FR–46267
(September 17, 1977).
The filing requirements provide the
basis for analysis of all rates, fares, or
charges whatsoever demanded, charged
or collected by any common carrier or
carriers in connection with the
transportation of crude oil and
petroleum products and are used by the
Commission to establish a basis for
determining the just and reasonable
rates that should be charged by the
regulated pipeline company. Based on
this analysis, a recommendation is made
to the Commission to take action
whether to suspend, accept or reject the
proposed rate. The data required to be
filed for pipeline rates and tariff filings
are specified in 18 CFR 340–348.
Action: The Commission is requesting
a three-year extension of the current
expiration date, with no changes to the
existing collection of data.
Burden Statement: Public reporting

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Form 550 ``Oil Pipeline Rates: Tariff
Filings'' (OMB No. 1902-0089) is used by the Commission to implement
the statutory provisions governed by Part I, sections 1, 6 and 15 of
the Interstate Commerce Act (ICA) (Pub. L. 337,34 Stat. 384).
Jurisdiction over oil pipelines as it relates to the establishment of
rates or charges for the transportation of oil by pipeline or the
establishment of valuations for pipelines, was transferred from the
Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) to FERC, pursuant to section 306
and 402 of the Department of Energy Organization Act (DOE Act), 42
U.S.C. 7155 and 7172 and Executive Order No. 12009, 42 FR-46267
(September 17, 1977).
The filing requirements provide the basis for analysis of all
rates, fares, or charges whatsoever demanded, charged or collected by
any common carrier or carriers in connection with the transportation of
crude oil and petroleum products and are used by the Commission to
establish a basis for determining the just and reasonable rates that
should be charged by the regulated pipeline company. Based on this
analysis, a recommendation is made to the Commission to take action
whether to suspend, accept or reject the proposed rate. The data
required to be filed for pipeline rates and tariff filings are
specified in 18 CFR 340-348.
Action: The Commission is requesting a three-year extension of the
current expiration date, with no changes to the existing collection of
data.
Burden Statement: Public reporting burden for this collection is
estimated as:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Number of responses Average burden hours Total annual burden
Number of respondents annually (1) per respondent (2) per response (3) hours (1)x(2)x(3)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
200........................................... 3 11 6600
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Estimated cost burden to respondents: 6600 hours/2080 hours per
year x $108,558 per year = $34,446. The cost per respondent is equal to
$172.23.
The cost estimate for respondents is based upon salaries for
professional and clerical support, as well as direct and indirect
overhead cost. Direct cost include all costs directly attributable to
providing this information, such as administrative cost for information
technology. Indirect or overhead costs are cost incurred by an
organization in support of its mission. These costs apply to activities
which benefit the whole organization rather than any one particular
function or activity.

The reporting burden includes the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended to assemble and disseminate the information
including: (1) Reviewing the instructions; (2) developing, or acquiring
appropriate technological support systems necessary for the purposes of
collecting, validating, processing, and disseminating the information;
(3) administration; and (4) transmitting, or otherwise disclosing the
information.
Comments are invited on: (1) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
