Notice
Summary
FERC is asking for public feedback on its oil pipeline reports, Forms 6 and 6-Q, which companies fill out yearly and quarterly. No one commented during the first 60-day review, so FERC is moving forward with extending these forms to keep important pipeline info flowing. This keeps things smooth for oil pipeline companies and helps FERC keep an eye on energy safety and costs.

FERC Keeps Pipeline Data Flowing
By extending FERC Form Nos. 6 and 6-Q, FERC will continue to receive oil pipeline data that helps the agency monitor energy safety and costs. The Commission sought comment under the Paperwork Reduction Act and published a 60-day notice on March 26, 2025 with no comments received.
