information collections with no changes
to the current reporting and
recordkeeping requirements.1
Abstract: Under the Interstate
Commerce Act (ICA),2 the Commission
is authorized and empowered to make
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.3 The transfer included
the ICC Form P, the predecessor to
FERC Form No. 6.4
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)).
1 FERC Form Nos. 6 and 6–Q are part of the
‘‘Forms Refresh’’ effort, which is a separate activity
and not addressed here. See Revisions to the Filing
Process for Commission Forms, 166 FERC ¶ 61,027
(2019) (started in Docket No. AD15–11 and ongoing
in Docket No. RM19–12). (OMB issued its decisions
on the proposed changes in the Forms Refresh
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in Docket No.
RM19–12 on March 14, 2019.) In addition, this
submittal does not reflect Docket No. RM15–19
(Petition for a Rulemaking of the Liquids Shippers
Group, et. al, (2015)) and Docket No. RM17–1
(Revisions to Indexing Policies and Page 700 of
FERC Form No. 6 (2016)).
2 49 U.S.C. Part 1, Section 20, 54 Stat. 916.
3 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.’’
4 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’’.

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
page 1 of FERC Form No. 6, the
Identification and Attestation schedules
(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

The Commission uses the information
collected in FERC Form No. 6–Q to
carry out its responsibilities in
implementing the statutory provisions

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.\3\ The transfer included the ICC Form P, the
predecessor to FERC Form No. 6.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ 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.''
\4\ 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''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 page 1 of FERC Form No. 6, the
Identification and Attestation schedules (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
[[Page 15214]]
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; (4) rate proceedings and economic
analyses; and (5) research for use in litigation.
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 issues affecting
jurisdictional entities within the energy industry. It also provides
timely disclosures of the impacts that new accounting standards, or
changes in existing standards, have on jurisdictional entities, as well
as the economic effects of significant transactions, events, and
circumstances. The reporting of this information by jurisdictional
entities assists the Commission in its analysis of profitability,
efficiency, risk, and in its overall monitoring.
