Commission

[Docket No. RM93–11–000]

Revisions to Oil Pipeline Regulations

Pursuant to the Energy Policy Act of

1992; Notice of Annual Change in the

Producer Price Index for Finished

Goods

May 16, 2007.

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 Commission

bases the index system, found at 18 CFR

342.3, on the annual change in the

Producer Price Index for Finished

Goods (PPI–FG), plus one point three

percent (PPI+1.3). The Commission

determined in an ‘‘Order Establishing

Index For Oil Price Change Ceiling

Levels’’ issued March 21, 2006, that

PPI+1.3 is the appropriate oil pricing

index factor for pipelines to use.1

The regulations provide that the

Commission will publish annually, an

index figure reflecting the final change

in the PPI–FG, after the Bureau of Labor

Statistics publishes the final PPI–FG in

May of each calendar year. The annual

average PPI–FG index figures were

155.7 for 2005 and 160.4 for 2006.2

1 114 FERC ¶ 61,293 at P 2 (2006).

2 Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) publishes the

final figure in mid-May of each year. This figure is

publicly available from the Division of Industrial

Prices and Price Indexes of the BLS, at (202) 691–

7705, and in print in August in Table 1 of the

annual data supplement to the BLS publication

E:\FR\FM\25JNN1.SGM

25JNN1

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 121 / Monday, June 25, 2007 / Notices

Thus, the percent change (expressed as

a decimal) in the annual average PPI–FG

from 2006 to 2007, plus 1.3 percent, is

positive .043186.3 Oil pipelines must

multiply their July 1, 2006, through June

30, 2007, index ceiling levels by

positive 1.043186 4 to compute their

index ceiling levels for July 1, 2007,

through June 30, 2008, in accordance

with 18 CFR 342.3(d). For guidance in

calculating the ceiling levels for each 12

month period beginning January 1,

energy use by Western’s long-term firm

power customers. Specifically, 10 CFR

part 905.32 (b) provides:

At two 5-year intervals after the effective

date of the extension to existing customers,

Western shall create a project-specific

resource pool increment of up to an

additional 1 percent of the long-term

marketable resource under contract at the

time. The size of the additional resource pool

increment shall be determined by Western

based on consideration of the actual fairshare needs of eligible new customers and

other appropriate purposes.

Letters of Interest for the proposed

LAP resource pool should contain the

following information: Name(s) of the

interested entity, entity’s interest,

geographic location of the entity, and

suggested appropriate purposes of the

resource pool. Letters of Interest will aid

Western in determining potential

to create the resource pool, it will

publish a separate Federal Register

notice seeking applications.

Availability of Information

by Western in developing this Post-2009
