May 19, 2003.

The Commission's regulations include a methodology for oil pipelines to change their rates through use of an index system that establishes ceiling levels for such rates. The index system as set forth at 18 CFR 342.3 is based on the annual change in the Producer Price Index for Finished Goods (PPIFG). 19 CFR 342.3(d)(2) provides that the oil pricing index to be used is PPIFG minus 1 percent. However, on February 24, 2003, the Commission issued an Order on Remand of its FiveYear Review of Oil Pricing Index in Docket Nos. RM0011000 and 001 which determined that the appropriate oil pricing index should be PPI without the minus 1 per cent adjustment.\1\ The regulations provide that each year the Commission will publish an index reflecting the final change in the PPIFG, after the final PPIFG is made available by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in May of each calendar year.
