Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

18 CFR Part 357

[Docket No. RM11-21-000]

Revision to Form No. 6

AGENCY: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) proposes
to amend the instructions on page 700 of FERC Form No. 6 (Form 6) to
ensure that pipelines report interstate-only barrel and barrel-mile
data and not a combination of interstate and intrastate throughput. The
Commission also proposes to direct pipelines that reported combined
interstate and intrastate data on lines (1) through (12) of page 700 of
their 2010 Form 6 to file a revised page 700 containing only interstate
data for the years 2009 and 2010.

DATES: Comments are due October 3, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
July 29, 2011.
    1. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) proposes
to amend the instructions on page 700, Annual Cost of Service Based
Analysis Schedule, of FERC Form No. 6, Annual Report of Oil Pipeline
Companies, (Form 6) to ensure that pipelines report interstate-only
barrel and barrel-mile data and not a combination of interstate and
intrastate throughput. The Commission also directs pipelines that
reported combined interstate and intrastate data in any field on lines
(1) through (12) of page 700 of their 2010 Form 6 \1\ to file within 90
days of the final rule's publication in the Federal Register a revised
page 700 containing only interstate data for the years 2009 and 2010.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Pipelines filed their 2010 FERC Form 6 on April 18, 2011.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Background

    2. Page 700 of Form 6 serves as a preliminary screening tool for
pipeline rate filings with the Commission.\2\ Specifically, page 700
enables shippers to evaluate proposed rate changes under the indexing
methodology \3\ and to determine whether a pipeline's cost of service
or per barrel-mile costs are so substantially divergent from the
revenues produced to warrant a challenge.\4\ In Order No. 620, the
Commission clarified that it intended page 700 to include only the
interstate costs and interstate revenues, and not a combination of
interstate and intrastate data.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ All jurisdictional pipelines are required to file page 700,
including pipelines exempt from filing the full Form 6. 18 CFR
357.2(a)(2) and (a)(3) (2011).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Discussion

    3. The Commission proposes to modify the instructions on page 700
to specify that pipelines must report interstate throughput levels and
exclude throughput associated with intrastate movements. The current
instructions on page 700 for lines (11) and (12) may inadvertently have
caused some pipelines to report barrel and barrel-mile throughput that
combines interstate and intrastate data. The instruction for line (12)
on page 700 directs pipelines to report the same barrel-mile figures as
those reported on line 33a of page 600 of the Form 6. Similarly, the
instruction for line (11) on page 700 directs pipelines to report the
same barrel figures as those reported on line 33b of page 601 of the
Form 6. Thus, the instructions on page 700 specify that the throughput
data reported on page 700 is the same throughput data that is reported
on page 600-601.\6\ The instructions for page 600 direct pipelines to
include ``all oils received'' by the pipeline,\7\ which consequently
may have led some filers to report combined interstate and intrastate
barrel-miles on lines (11) and (12) of page 700.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Pages 600-601 are entitled Statistics of Operations.
    \7\ Pipelines filing pages 600-601 as well as page 700 may
transport both interstate and intrastate barrels.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    4. It is an axiomatic rule of ratemaking that the same set of costs
and volumes must be used to determine rates.\8\ The Commission did not
intend for the cost of service per-barrel/mile data provided by page
700 to include interstate-only costs and revenues alongside throughput
data that combines interstate and intrastate totals. To address this
reporting issue, the Commission now proposes to modify the instructions
for line (11) \9\ and line (12) \10\ of page 700 to more precisely
direct pipelines to report

only interstate barrels and interstate barrel-miles and not a
combination of interstate and intrastate throughput.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ Five-Year Review of Oil Pipeline Pricing Index, 75 FR 80300,

reh'g, 135 FERC ] 61,172 (2011).
    \9\ Instruction number 4 on page 700 of the Form 6.
    \10\ Instruction number 5 on page 700 of the Form 6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    5. The Commission further proposes to require pipelines that
reported throughput levels on their 2010 Form 6, page 700 reflecting
both interstate and intrastate data to file a revised page 700 with
only interstate barrels and barrel-miles for 2009 and 2010. Moreover,
the current instructions on page 700 require that pipelines report
interstate-only data on lines (1) through (10) relating to various
cost, revenue and other ratemaking elements. Any pipeline that reported
combined interstate and intrastate data on lines (1)-(10) of page 700
must also file corrections so that page 700 only contains interstate
data for 2009 and 2010. This action ensures the availability of
complete interstate cost per barrel-mile data consistent with the
Commission's regulation of interstate oil and petroleum product
pipeline rates and the intent of page 700 to enable the Commission and
shippers to analyze interstate pipeline costs. Moreover, this
requirement is consistent with the existing instructions on page 700,
which allow staff to require the submission of cost-of-service
workpapers pursuant to the 154-B methodology at any time.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ FERC Form No. 6, Page 700 (``A respondent may be requested
by the Commission or its staff to provide its workpapers which
support the data reported on page 700.'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Information Collection Statement

    6. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) regulations require
approval of certain information collection requirements imposed by
agency rules.\12\ Upon approval of a collection(s) of information, OMB
will assign an OMB control number and an expiration date. Respondents
subject to the filing requirements of an agency rule will not be
penalized for failing to respond to these collections of information
unless the collections of information display a valid OMB control
number. The Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) \13\ requires each federal
agency to seek and obtain OMB approval before undertaking a collection
of information directed to ten or more persons or contained in a rule
of general applicability.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 5 CFR part 1320.
    \13\ 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520.
    \14\ OMB's regulations at 5 CFR 1320.3(c)(4)(i) require that
``Any recordkeeping, reporting, or disclosure requirement contained
in a rule of general applicability is deemed to involve ten or more
persons.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    7. The Commission is submitting these reporting requirements to OMB
for its review and approval under section 3507(d) of the PRA. Comments
are solicited on the Commission's need for this information, whether
the information will have practical utility, the accuracy of provided
burden estimates, ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information to be collected, and any suggested methods for
minimizing the respondent's burden, including the use of automated
information techniques.
    8. The Commission's estimate of the additional Public Reporting
Burden and cost related to the proposed rule in Docket RM11-21-000
follow. The Commission recognizes that there will be a one-time
increased burden involved in the initial implementation associated
with: (a) Using only interstate figures for lines 1-12 of page 700, and
(b) re-filing of revised data for lines (1) through (12) of page 700
for 2009 and 2010. We estimate an additional one-time burden of one-
hour per filer for the combined implementation and the re-filing of the
page 700 for the 2009 and 2010 data. For the recurring effort involved
in filing interstate data on lines (1) through (12) of page 700 for
2011 and future years, we estimate that the change in burden is
negligible (after the initial implementation).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ Based on an estimated average cost per employee for 2011
(including salary plus benefits) of $142,372, the estimated average
hourly cost per employee is $68.45. The average work year is 2,080
hours.
    \16\ Although 166 pipelines file page 700, the number of
pipelines that must file corrected information will likely be
substantially less. Some pipelines only transport interstate
shipments and thus would have reported only interstate data on page
700. Other pipelines may have reported only interstate data on lines
(1)-(12) on page 700, and these pipelines would not need to file
additional data.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The additional one-time burden of 166 hours is being spread over
the three years for the purposes of submittal to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), giving an average additional annual burden
of 55.33 hours.
    Information Collection Costs: The Commission seeks comments on the
costs and burden to comply with these requirements.
    Total additional one-time cost = $11,362.70.
    Title: FERC-6, Annual Report of Oil Pipeline Companies.
    Action: Proposed Revisions to the FERC Form 6.
    OMB Control No: 1902-0022.
    Respondents: Public and non-public utilities.
    Frequency of Responses: Initial implementation and one-time re-
filing of selected data for 2009-2010.
    Necessity of the Information: This action ensures the availability
of complete interstate cost per barrel-mile data consistent with the
Commission's regulation of interstate oil and petroleum product
pipeline rates and the intent of page 700 to enable the Commission and
shippers to analyze interstate pipeline costs.
    Internal review: The Commission has reviewed the proposed changes
and has determined that the changes are necessary. These requirements
conform to the Commission's need for efficient information collection,
communication, and management within the energy industry. The
Commission has assured itself, by means of internal review, that there
is specific, objective support for the burden estimates associated with
the information collection requirements.

Environmental Analysis

    10. The Commission is required to prepare an Environmental
Assessment or an Environmental Impact Statement for any action that may
have a significant adverse effect on the human environment.\17\ The
actions taken here fall within categorical exclusions in the
Commission's regulations for information gathering, analysis, and
dissemination.\18\ Therefore, an environmental assessment is
unnecessary and has not been prepared in this rulemaking.

Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification

    11. The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA) requires agencies
to prepare certain statements, descriptions, and analyses of proposed
rules that will have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small business entities.\19\ Agencies are not required to
make such an analysis if a rule would not have such an effect.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ 5 U.S.C. 601-12.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    12. As explained above, the change to page 700 will not increase
the burden of preparing page 700. Further, the time required to
implement changes and to file any necessary one-time revision of the
page 700 data as specified in this order is minimal, Thus, the
Commission concludes that the final rule would not have a significant
economic impact on small entities.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[EPA-HQ-OAR-2007-1121; FRL-9928-37-OAR]

Proposed Information Collection Request; Comment Request; Fuel
Quality Regulations for Diesel Fuel Sold in 2001 and Later Years; for
Tax-Exempt (Dyed) Highway Diesel Fuel; & Non-Road Locomotive & Marine
Diesel Fuel (Renewal)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency is planning to submit an
information collection request (ICR), ``Fuel Quality Regulations for
Diesel Fuel Sold in 2001 & Later Years; for Tax-Exempt (Dyed) Highway
Diesel Fuel; & Non-Road Locomotive & Marine Diesel Fuel'' (EPA ICR No
1718.10., OMB Control No. 2060-0308 to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Before doing so, EPA is
soliciting public comments on specific aspects of the proposed
information collection as described below. This is a renewal of the
ICR, which is currently approved through January 31, 2016. An Agency
may not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required to respond to a
collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before July 28, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-
2007-1121, online using www.regulations.gov (our preferred method), or
by mail to: EPA Docket Center, Environmental Protection Agency, Mail
Code 28221T, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20460.
    EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included in the
public docket without change including any personal information
provided, unless the comment includes profanity, threats, information
claimed to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Geanetta Heard, Fuels Compliance
Center, 6406J, Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave.
NW., Washington, DC 20460; telephone number:<PHONE_NUMBER>; fax number:
202-565-2085; email address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents which explain in detail
the information that the EPA will be collecting are available in the
public docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at
www.regulations.gov or in person at the EPA Docket Center, WJC West,
Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, DC. The telephone
number for the Docket Center is<PHONE_NUMBER>. For additional
information about EPA's public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA is soliciting
comments and information to enable it to: (i) Evaluate whether the
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility; (ii) evaluate 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; (iii) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (iv) minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who are to respond, including
through 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. EPA
will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate.
The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and
approval. At that time, EPA will issue another Federal Register notice
to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to
submit additional comments to OMB.
    Abstract: This ICR renewal is related to EPA's diesel fuel
regulations under 40 CFR part 80, subpart I, applicable to highway
(``motor vehicle'' or ``MV'') diesel fuel and non-road, locomotive and
marine diesel fuel (NRLM) and heating oil (HO). Most of the information
collected under this ICR is used to evaluate compliance with the
requirements of the regulations. Since virtually all MV diesel fuel was
required to meet a 15 part per million (ppm) standard as of June 1,
2010, very little reporting related to MV diesel fuel remains. However,
reporting related to NRLM and HO will continue throughout the course of
this proposed ICR renewal. The activities associated with this ICR
include: Registration (all parties have registered; updates to existing
registrations are still possible); compliance reports (mostly covering
NRLM and HO; updates to prior compliance reports for MV diesel are
still possible); research and development (R&D) exemptions; generation
and retention of quality assurance (QA) records and foreign refiner
recordkeeping and reporting. This ICR renewal contains provisions
related to qualification of laboratories on performance-based test
methods.

    Respondents/affected entities: Private businesses selling diesel
fuel.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: mandatory.
    Estimated number of respondents: 6,806 (total).
    Frequency of response: quarterly, annually, on occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 11,078 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $1,122,716 (per year), includes $0 annualized
capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in Estimates: For this renewal, we estimated a total annual
respondent burden of 25,553 reports, a decrease of 239,853 reports from
the last ICR approved by OMB. The number of hours decreased from 18,950
hours to 11,078 hours, a difference of 7,902 hours per year. The annual
reporting and hourly burden decreased due to an expiring yellow 124
provision no longer required for diesel fuel. In this renewal, the
Agency is also adding the electronic ECA Marine Fuel Precision
Demonstration form. A contributing factor to the lowering of the
industry cost was the salaries quoted in the ``Bureau of Labor
Statistics, May 2013 National Industry-Specific Occupational

Employment and Wage Estimates, mean wages.'' The salaries that assisted
in calculating the labor mix had slightly declined. This change has
caused a decrease in the cost per report in this collection from $110
per report to $101 per report. The total estimated cost to industry is
$1,122,716 a year, a difference of $ 961,784 calculated from the prior
collection approved by OMB. For future approvals, we project that the
cost to report will decrease significantly. The burden related to MV
diesel reporting will phase out and virtually all laboratory
qualification applications for test methods will be completed,
decreasing total industry burden.

Northern Border Pipeline Company; Notice of Compliance Filing

May 23, 2006.
    Take notice that on May 3, 2006, Northern Border Pipeline Company
