Abstract:
The information collected is used by the Commission to establish oil pipeline depreciation rates based on the physical properties of a pipeline's equipment. Depreciation rates are a factor in a pipeline's transportation cost of service. As such, companies are required to submit FERC 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 assets. The Commission may also request an oil pipeline company to submit a FERC Form No. 73 filing during a depreciation rate investigation.

Short Statement:
The estimate for the burden is based on recent Commission experience and the actual number of filings made under FERC Form No. 73 between 2008 and 2010. The burden has increased 50% (an increase of 40 hours annually due to the addition of one respondent per year) from FERC's previous OMB inventory because the number of filings from new pipelines has increased. Exploration and development of oil reserves from tar sands and shale have increased the number of new pipelines being built. Also, the cost per staff employee has increased resulting in a higher total annualized cost than previously reported.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
