SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
information collected under the
requirements of FERC Form 73 ‘‘Oil
Pipelines Service Life Data’’ (OMB No.
1902–0019) is used by the Commission
to establish oil pipeline property
depreciation rates based on the physical
properties of a pipeline’s equipment.
Congress gave the Commission
jurisdiction over oil pipeline rates,
charges and valuations in Pub. L. 103–
272, sec. 60502 (1994).1 The
Commission’s regulations governing
FERC Form No. 73 can be found in 18
CFR § 357.3. The filing instructions are
available online at https://www.ferc.gov/
docs-filing/hard-fil.asp, under the Oil
tab.
Depreciation rates are a factor in a
pipeline’s transportation cost of service.
As such, companies are required to
submit Form No. 73 when requesting
Commission approval of: (1) The
establishment of depreciation rates for
new pipeline equipment or (2) revision
of previously approved depreciation
rates, when the depreciation is based on
the physical properties of the pipeline
company’s equipment. The Commission
may also request an oil pipeline to
submit a Form No. 73 during a rate
investigation.
On May 27, 2005, in Order No. 656,
the Commission amended the Form No.
73 instructions to allow for filing on a
diskette in a spreadsheet file format,
eliminated the filing requirement for
utility codes, which were no longer
used by the Commission, and updated
the filing instructions to delete
references to outdated filing formats.2
Action: The Commission is requesting
approval and three-year extension of the
current expiration date. There are no
changes to the information that is
collected on Form 73. This is a
mandatory information collection
requirement.
1 To Revise, Codify and Enact Without
Substantive Change Certain General and Permanent
Laws, Related to Transportation, as Subtitles II, III,
and V-X of Title 49, U.S.C., ‘‘Transportation’’, and
to Make Other Technical Improvements in the
Code, 49 U.S.C. 60502 (July 5, 1994). This Act
repealed the Department of Energy Act sections 306
and 402 under which the Interstate Commerce
Commission transferred to, and vested, in the
Commission all functions and authority over rates
or charges for the transportation of oil by pipeline
including the establishment of valuations of any
such pipeline, Pub. L. 95–91 (August 4, 1977).

The estimated total cost to
respondents is $4,861 (80 hours divided
by 2,080 hours per employee 3 per year
times $126,384 4 per year average salary
per employee equals $4,861 (rounded)).
The estimated cost of filing Form 73 per
respondent is $2,431.
The reporting burden includes the
total time, effort, or financial resources
expended to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose, or provide the information
including: (1) Reviewing instructions;
(2) developing, acquiring, installing, and
utilizing technology and systems for the
purposes of collecting, validating,
verifying, processing, maintaining,
disclosing and providing information;
(3) adjusting the existing ways to
comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements; (4)
training personnel to respond to a
collection of information; (5) searching
data sources; (6) completing and
reviewing the collection of information;
and (7) transmitting, or otherwise
disclosing the information.
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 any one 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
