FERC Form No. 6, Annual Report of Oil Pipeline Companies \2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The renewal request for the FERC Form No. 6 in this IC
docket is for the current form, with no change to the reporting
requirements.
    The FERC Form No. 6 is also part of the Forms Refresh effort
(started in Docket No. AD15-11), which is a separate activity and
not addressed in this Notice.
    In addition, there is a pending Docket No. RM15-19 which is a
separate activity and is not addressed in this Notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    OMB Control No.: 1902-0022
    Abstract: Under the Interstate Commerce Act (ICA), (Section 20, 54
Stat. 916), the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) was authorized and
empowered to make investigations and to collect and record data to the
extent considered necessary or useful for the purpose of carrying out
the provisions of the ICA.
    In 1977, the Department of Energy Organization Act transferred to
the Commission from the 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 Form P,
the predecessor to the FERC Form No. 6, Annual Report of Oil Pipeline
Companies (Form 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, the 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. Oil pipeline carriers
submitting a complete FERC Form No. 6 must submit FERC Form 6-Q.\5\
Newly established entities must use projected data to determine whether
FERC Form No. 6 must be filed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ FERC Form 6-Q is covered separately and is approved by OMB
under OMB Control No. 1902-0206. It is not a subject of this Notice;
FERC Form 6-Q is being addressed separately in Docket No. IC16-7-
000.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 the FERC Form No. 6, the
Identification and Attestation schedules.
    3. Oil pipeline carriers exempt from filing FERC Form No. 6 and
page 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.
    The Commission uses the FERC Form No. 6 information in:
     implementation of its financial audits and programs, the
continuous review of the financial condition of regulated companies,
and the assessment of energy markets
     various rate proceedings and economic analyses
     background research for use in litigation
     programs relating to the administration of the ICA
     computation of annual charges, which are required by
Section 3401 of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986.
    Type of Respondent: Oil Pipelines.
    Estimate of Annual Burden: The Commission estimates the annual
public reporting burden \6\ and cost \7\ for the FERC Form No. 6
information collection as follows.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ The burden associated with the one-time re-filing of Page
700 data for Years 2009-2011 has been completed and is not included.
    \7\ The cost is based on FERC's 2016 average cost (salary plus
benefits) of $74.50/hour. The Commission staff believes that the
industry's level and skill set is comparable to FERC.

FERC Form No. 580, Interrogatory on Fuel and Energy Purchase Practices

OMB Control No.: 1902-0137

    Abstract: FERC Form No. 580 is collected in even numbered years.
The Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA) \8\ amended the
Federal Power Act (FPA) and directed the Commission to make
comprehensive biennial reviews of certain matters related to automatic
adjustment clauses (AACs) in wholesale rate schedules used by public
utilities subject to the Commission's jurisdiction. Specifically, the
Commission is required to examine whether the clauses effectively
provide the incentives for efficient use of resources and whether the
clauses reflect only those costs that are either ``subject to periodic
fluctuations'' or ``not susceptible to precise determinations'' in rate
cases prior to the time the costs are incurred.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ Enacted November 8, 1978
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission is also required to review the practices of each
public utility under AACs ``to insure efficient use of resources under
such clauses.'' \9\ In response to the PURPA directive, the Commission
(Docket Number IN79-6-000) established an investigation. Beginning in
1982, the Commission collected ``Interrogatory on Fuel and Energy
Purchase Practices'' data every other year.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ The review requirement is set forth in two paragraphs of
Section 208 of PURPA, 49 Stat.851; 16 U.S.C. 824d.

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

    Based on filer comments in response to the new electronic form used
in the 2014 collections, FERC recommends the following changes to the
instructions. FERC is not changing the requirements of the information
collection.

    Estimate of Annual Burden \11\: The Commission estimates the annual

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

    \11\ The Commission defines burden as the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain,
retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal
agency. For further explanation of what is included in the
information collection burden, reference 5 Code of Federal
Regulations 1320.3.
    \12\ The FERC Form 580 data is collected on a biennial basis. In
order to represent the burden appropriately, the ``Annual Number of
Responses per Respondent'' is assigned a figure of 0.5. This figure
means that one response per respondent is received on average for
each two year period. The ``Total Annual Burden Hours & Total Annual
Cost'' figures are all annual figures based on the biennial
frequency assumption.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Coast Guard

33 CFR Part 117

[Docket No. USCG-2015-1119]

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Inner Harbor Navigation Canal,
New Orleans, LA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of deviation from drawbridge regulation.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has issued a temporary deviation from the
operating schedule that governs the US 90 (Danziger) vertical lift span
drawbridge across the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal, mile 3.10 at New
Orleans, Orleans Parish, Louisiana. The deviation is necessary to
conduct field measurements and other preparations for repairs and
maintenance that are scheduled for later in the year. This deviation
allows the bridge to remain closed-to-navigation for nine days. During
this closure, the bridge will open with at least four hours notice
except during scheduled curfew times.

DATES: This deviation is effective from 7 p.m. on January 22, 2016,
until 7 p.m. on January 31, 2016.

ADDRESSES: The docket for this deviation, [USCG-2015-1119] is available
at http://www.regulations.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this
temporary deviation, call or email Jim Wetherington, Bridge
Administration Branch, Coast Guard, telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>, email
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Contractor, C.E.C., Inc., for the
Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LDOTD),
requested a temporary deviation from the operating schedule of the US
90 (Danziger) vertical lift span drawbridge across the Inner Harbor
Navigation Canal, mile 3.10 at New Orleans, Orleans Parish, Louisiana.
The deviation was requested for the purpose of conducting field
measurements and other preparations for repairs and maintenance that
are scheduled for later in the year. The vertical clearance of the
vertical lift span bridge is 50 feet above mean high water in the
closed-to-navigation position and 120 feet in the open-to-navigation
position. The bridge is governed by 33 CFR 117.458(b).
    This deviation is effective from 7 p.m. on January 22, 2016, until
7 p.m. on January 31, 2016. This deviation allows

the bridge to remain closed-to-navigation daily except that the bridge
will open if at least four hours notice is given except Monday through
Friday from 7 a.m.-8:30 a.m. and from 5 p.m.-6:30 p.m., daily. During
the closure period, the contractor will make every effort to minimize
the delays to mariners by opening the bridge with less than four hour
notice whenever possible. However, the bridge is not required to open
with less than a four-hour notice. Marine traffic, when allowed to
pass, should pass at the slowest safe speed.
    Navigation on the waterway consists of small tugs with and without
tows, commercial vessels, and recreational craft, including sailboats.
    Vessels able to pass through the bridge in the closed-to-navigation
position may do so at anytime. The bridge will be able to open for
emergencies, and there is no immediate alternate route. The Coast Guard
will also inform the users of the waterways through our Local and
Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the change in operating schedule for
the bridge so that vessels can arrange their transits to minimize any
impact caused by the temporary deviation.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to
its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the effective
period of this temporary deviation. This deviation from the operating
regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

[Docket No. OR09-18-000]

Tesoro Refining and Marketing Company, Complainant v. SFPP L.P.,
Respondent; Notice of Complaint

July 2, 2009.
    Take notice that on July 1, 2009, Tesoro Refining and Marketing
Company (Tesoro) filed a formal complaint against SFPP L.P. (SFPP)
pursuant to Rule 206 of the Rules of Practice and Procedure of the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 18 CFR 385.206; the Procedural
Rules Applicable to Oil Pipeline Proceedings, 18 CFR 343.2; sections
1(5), 8, 9, 13, 15 and 16 of the Interstate Commerce Act (ICA), 49
U.S.C. App. Sec. Sec.  1(5), 8, 9, 13, 15 and 16 (1984) and section
1803 of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPAct).
    Tesoro alleges that SFPP was over-recovering its cost of service in
2007

and 2008 and, therefore, was not entitled to increase its rates using
the indexation methodology in 2008 and is not entitled to do so in
2009. Among other things, Tesoro requests that the Commission determine
that the rates established by SFPP are unjust and unreasonable.
    Tesoro certifies that copies of the complaint were served on the
contacts for SFPP as listed on the Commission's list of Corporate
Officials.
    Any person desiring to intervene or to protest this filing must
file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of
Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211, 385.214). Protests will be
considered by the Commission in determining the appropriate action to
be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to the
proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must file a notice of
intervention or motion to intervene, as appropriate. The Respondent's
answer and all interventions, or protests must be filed on or before
the comment date. The Respondent's answer, motions to intervene, and
protests must be served on the Complainants.
    The Commission encourages electronic submission of protests and
interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link at http://
www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should submit an

Texas Eastern Transmission, LP; Notice of Application and
Establishing Intervention Deadline

    Take notice that on June 2, 2022 Texas Eastern Transmission, LP,
(Texas Eastern) 5400 Westheimer Court, Houston, TX 77056-5310, filed an
application under section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), and Part
157, Subpart A of the Commission's regulations requesting the authority
to abandon a certain auxiliary pipeline segment located in Polk and San
Jacinto Counties, Texas.
    Specifically, Specifically, Texas Eastern is requesting approval to
abandon in place an approximate 2.8-mile segment of 24-inch diameter
auxiliary pipeline, designated as Line 11-Aux-1, between milepost
(``MP'') 137.72 and MP 140.51 across Lake Livingston. The Project will
eliminate the need for future operating and maintenance expenditures on
a pipeline segment that is not needed to provide transportation
services and has not been used in many years. Abandonment of this
pipeline segment will not change the certificated capacity of Texas
Eastern's system and will not result in the termination or reduction in
service to existing Texas Eastern customers. The total estimated cost
of abandonment is approximately $197,324.
    In addition to publishing the full text of this document in the
Federal Register, the Commission provides all interested persons an

Electric Quarterly Reports; BM2 LLC; DJGW, LLC; Order on Intent
To Revoke Market-Based Rate Authority

Issued September 22, 2010.
Before Commissioners: Jon Wellinghoff, Chairman; Marc Spitzer,
Philip D. Moeller, John R. Norris, and Cheryl A. LaFleur.

    1. Section 205 of the Federal Power Act (FPA), 16 U.S.C. 824d
(2006), and 18 CFR part 35 (2010), require, among other things, that
all rates, terms, and conditions of jurisdictional services be filed
with the Commission. In Order No. 2001, the Commission revised its
public utility filing requirements and established a requirement for
public utilities, including power marketers, to

file Electric Quarterly Reports summarizing the contractual terms and
conditions in their agreements for all jurisdictional services
(including market-based power sales, cost-based power sales, and
transmission service) and providing transaction information (including
rates) for short-term and long-term power sales during the most recent
calendar quarter.\1\

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

    2. Commission staff's review of the Electric Quarterly Report
submittals indicates that two utilities with authority to sell electric
power at market-based rates have failed to file their Electric
Quarterly Reports. This order notifies these public utilities that
their market-based rate authorizations will be revoked unless they
comply with the Commission's requirements within 15 days of the date of
issuance of this order.
    3. In Order No. 2001, the Commission stated that,

    [i]f a public utility fails to file a[n] Electric Quarterly
Report (without an appropriate request for extension), or fails to
report an agreement in a report, that public utility may forfeit its
market-based rate authority and may be required to file a new
application for market-based rate authority if it wishes to resume
making sales at market-based rates.\[2]\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Order No. 2001, FERC Stats & Regs. ] 31,127 at P 222.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    4. The Commission further stated that,

    [o]nce this rule becomes effective, the requirement to comply
with this rule will supersede the conditions in public utilities'
market-based rate authorizations, and failure to comply with the
requirements of this rule will subject public utilities to the same
consequences they would face for not satisfying the conditions in
their rate authorizations, including possible revocation of their
authority to make wholesale power sales at market-based rates.\[3]\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Id. P 223.

    5. Pursuant to these requirements, the Commission has revoked the
market-based rate tariffs of several market-based rate sellers that
failed to submit their Electric Quarterly Reports.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See, e.g., Electric Quarterly Reports, 75 FR 45,111 (Aug. 2,
2010); Electric Quarterly Reports, 75 FR 19,646 (Apr. 15, 2010).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    6. As noted above, Commission staff's review of the Electric
Quarterly Report submittals identified two public utilities with
authority to sell power at market-based rates that failed to file
Electric Quarterly Reports in the first and second quarters of 2010.
Commission staff contacted these entities to remind them of their
regulatory obligations.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See BM2 LLC, Docket No. ER06-885-000 (August 2, 2010)
(unpublished letter order); DJGW, LLC, Docket No. ER04-289-000
(August 2, 2010) (unpublished letter order).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The two public utilities listed in the caption of this order have
not met these obligations.\6\ Accordingly, this order notifies these
public utilities that their market-based rate authorizations will be
revoked unless they comply with the Commission's requirements within 15
days of the issuance of this order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ According to the Commission's records, the companies subject
to this order failed to file their Electric Quarterly Reports for
the 1st and 2nd quarters of 2010.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    7. In the event that the above-captioned market-based rate sellers
have already filed its Electric Quarterly Report in compliance with the
Commission's requirements, its inclusion herein is inadvertent. Such
market-based rate seller is directed, within 15 days of the date of
issuance of this order, to make a filing with the Commission
identifying itself and providing details about its prior filings that
establish that it complied with the Commission's Electric Quarterly
Report filing requirements.
    8. If the above-captioned market-based rate sellers do not wish to
continue having market-based rate authority, they may file a notice of
cancellation with the Commission pursuant to section 205 of the FPA to
cancel their market-based rate tariff.
    The Commission orders:
    (A) Within 15 days of the date of issuance of this order, each
public utility listed in the caption of this order shall file with the
Commission all delinquent Electric Quarterly Reports. If a public
utility fails to make this filing, the Commission will revoke that
public utility's authority to sell power at market-based rates and will
terminate its electric market-based rate tariff. The Secretary is
hereby directed, upon expiration of the filing deadline in this order,
to promptly issue a notice, effective on the date of issuance, listing
the public utilities whose tariffs have been revoked for failure to
comply with the requirements of this order and the Commission's
Electric Quarterly Report filing requirements.
    (B) The Secretary is hereby directed to publish this order in the
Federal Register.

    By the Commission.
