The Commission uses the information collected under the requirements of the FERC-567 to obtain accurate data on pipeline facilities. More specifically, the Commission utilizes the FERC-567 to validate the need for new facilities proposed by pipelines in certificate applications. By modeling a pipeline applicant's system, Commission staff utilizes the FERC-567 data to determine configuration/location of installed pipeline facilities, and verify and determine the receipt and delivery points between shippers, producers and pipeline companies. Additionally, the Commissions uses the FERC-567 to determine the location of receipt and delivery points and emergency interconnections on a pipeline system, determine the location of pipeline segments, laterals and compressor stations on a pipeline system, verify pipeline segment lengths and pipeline diameters, justify the maximum allowable operating pressures and suction and discharge pressures at compressor stations, verify the installed horsepower and volumes compressed at each compressor station, determine the existing shippers and producers currently using each pipeline company, and develop and evaluate alternatives to proposed facilities as a means to mitigate environmental impact of new pipeline construction.
