The
Commission uses the information
collected under the requirements of
FERC–550, ‘‘Oil Pipeline Rates: Tariff
Filings’’ (OMB No. 1902–0089), to
implement the statutory provisions of
Parts 1, 6, and 15 of the Interstate
Commerce Act (ICA) (Pub. L. 337,
34 Stat. 584). Jurisdiction over oil
pipelines as it relates to the
establishment of valuations for
pipelines was transferred from the
Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC)
to FERC, pursuant to sections 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).
18 CFR Parts 341–348 specifies the
filing requirements for proposed oil
pipeline rates. The data that oil
pipelines file is the basis for
Commission analyses of the rates they
plan to charge to transport crude oil and
petroleum products. The Commission
uses its analyses: (1) To determine if the
proposed charges result in just and
reasonable rates for the oil pipeline’s
transportation services and (2) to help
the Commission decide whether it
should suspend, accept or reject the
proposed rates.
Action: The Commission is requesting
a three-year extension of the current
expiration date with no changes to the
existing collection. The information
filed with the Commission is
mandatory.
Burden Statement: Public Reporting
Burden for this information collection is
estimated as:

The total annual cost of filing FERC–
550 is: 5,632 hours/2080 hours 1 ×
$142,372 2 equals $385,500. The annual
cost of filing FERC–550 per respondent
is $3,012.
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,
using technology and systems for the
purposes of collecting, validating,
verifying, processing, maintaining,

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 Commission bases the cost
estimate for respondents upon salaries
within the Commission for professional
and clerical support. This cost estimate
includes respondents’ total salary and
employment benefits.
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.
