On February 29, 2008, the Association of Oil Pipe Lines (AOPL) filed Supplemental Post-Workshop Comments (Supplemental Comments) in the above referenced proceeding, in which it proposes certain revisions to FERC Form No. 6, Annual Report of Oil Pipeline Companies. The Commission is noticing AOPL's filing for comment.

In its Supplemental Comments, AOPL proposes that the Commission further define the rate base figure in Line 5 of Page 700 by listing: (1) Net carrier property in service; (2) net AFUDC; (3) working capital; (4) net deferred return; (5) net starting rate base write-up; and (6) ADIT. AOPL also proposes that the Commission raise the annual interstate operating revenue reporting level from $500,000 to $1,000,000 and exempt all pipelines below $1,000,000 from filing the full FERC Form No. 6 (including Page 700).

The Commission encourages electronic submission of comments in lieu of paper using the “eFiling” link at http://www.ferc.gov.
