GENERAL

§ 360.1 Regulations prescribed.

Each common carrier by pipeline, subject to the provisions of the Inter

state Commerce Act, for which an initial valuation is to be found by the Commission is required to comply with regulations in this Part pertaining to the preparation and filing of data with the Commission for its consideration in finding such initial valuation. The data to be filed shall be reported separately by ownership and use, by states, and by primary property accounts, as hereinafter prescribed.

§ 360.2 Data to be filed.

(a) Except as may be otherwise directed by the Commission, the following data shall be filed:

ACV Form No. 5-Inventory of Property Other than Land and Rights-of-Way.

ACV Form No. 6-Inventory of Land and Rights-of-Way.

ACV Form No. 7-Summary of Original Cost of Inventory.

ACV Form No. 8-Cost Data for Equipment and Tanks.

nations.

Reconciliations.

Corporate history and development of fixed physical property.

(b) All worksheets and other underlying support of data filed shall be retained by carriers in such manner that they may be readily verified.

§ 360.3 Responsibility for filing data.

It shall be the responsibility of the carrier for which an initial valuation is to be found by the Commission to file the data prescribed by this order. This responsibility shall apply whether property included in the initial inventory is wholly or jointly owned and used, wholly or jointly owned but not used, or wholly or jointly used but not owned, or whether such property is a part of a "system" or otherwise. As used in these regulations, the term "agent operator" refers only to a carri

er for which an initial valuation is to be found by the Commission.

§ 360.4 Copies required.

The data referred to in § 360.2 shall be filed with the Commission in an original only, and one copy shall be retained by carriers. However, copies of ACV Forms prepared by other than the filing carrier may be filed in lieu of originals.

§ 360.5 Carrier and noncarrier property defined.

Carrier property is that which is used exclusively for common-carrier purposes. Noncarrier property is that which is used exclusively for purposes other than those of a common carrier. Property held in anticipation of an indefinite future use, and property which is owned by a common carrier and is leased to other than a common carrier shall be reported as noncarrier property. Classification of property under this definition shall be consistent with the classification of property for accounting purposes.

§ 360.6 Original cost defined.

(a) Original cost means the actual cost of construction or acquisition of property to the first person or corporation dedicating such property to public use. Interpretive examples of this definition follow:

(1) Where an entire property, or portion thereof, is acquired from another common carrier by purchase, merger, consolidation, or reorganization, the cost of the property, estimated if not known, to the vendor shall be construed to be the original cost of the property acquired.

(2) Where property which has not been previously dedicated to public use is acquired, the cost of acquisition to the vendee shall be regarded as the original cost of the property acquired.

(3) Where the actual cost of property acquired by lease from a noncarrier and placed in public use by a carrier is not obtainable, the estimated cost of such property, as of the date of the lease, shall be used as the original cost.

(b) Where estimated original cost is used it shall be prorated among the primary accounts on an equitable

basis, and a notation shall be made that estimates were used, together with an explanation of the method employed in arriving at such estimates.

§ 360.7 Reporting overhead expenditures.

To assure against the double inclusion of overhead in the determination by the Commission of the cost of reproduction new of the inventory of carrier property, overhead expenditures shall be reported separately under the caption "Overhead," in complete detail for each account for each valuation section, and shall be reported on ACV Form No. 5 and on ACV Form No. 6 immediately following the last original cost amount stated on these forms in accordance with §§ 360.100 and 360.101. The term overhead, as used in these regulations, shall be construed as consisting of those expenditures incurred in connection with the construction or acquisition of property which were applicable to a period prior to the date that the property to which they relate was placed in operation. Examples of such expenditures are interest during construction, engineering cost, taxes on physical property, etc.

Prods. for trunkline property, and Gen. for property classified as general. Jointly owning or jointly using carriers, and carriers wholly using property owned by others, shall assign their own valuation section numbers to property so owned or used. Mobile property servicing more than one valuation section of a state shall not be assigned to a valuation section but shall be reported as "Unallocated" for the state served. Mobile property servicing more than one state shall not be assigned to a valuation section but shall be reported as "Unallocated" for the carrier as a whole without state identity. Valuation section numbers and unallocated designations shall be decided by each carrier, subject to the approval of the Commission.

PREPARATION OF DATA

§ 360.100 ACV Form No. 5-Inventory of Property Other Than Land and Rightsof-Way.

(a) This is a multipurpose form designed to meet the needs of both the carriers and the Commission. Columns 1 through 7 shall be used by carriers to document the inventory. The remaining columns will be completed by the Commission.

(b) A separate ACV Form No. 5 shall be filed bearing the following statement which shall be signed by a responsible officer of the carrier, or agent, filing the data prescribed by these regulations:

The data filed pursuant to Valuation Order No. 29 have been carefully examined by the undersigned who declares that such data have been prepared in accordance with regulations set out in said Order. (Signature) (Title) (Date)
