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

    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 two point six 
five percent (PPI-FG + 2.65). The Commission determined in an ``Order 
Establishing Index For Oil Price Change Ceiling Levels'' issued 
December 16, 2010, that PPI-FG + 2.65 is the appropriate oil pricing 
index factor for pipelines to use for the five-year period commencing 
July 1, 2011.\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 190.5 for 
2011 and 194.2 for 2012.\2\ Thus, the percent change (expressed as a 
decimal) in the annual average PPI-FG from 2011 to 2012, plus 2.65 
percent, is positive 0.045923.\3\ Oil pipelines must multiply their 
July 1, 2012, through June 30, 2013, index ceiling levels by positive 
1.045923 \4\ to compute their index ceiling levels for July 1, 2013, 
through June 30, 2014, in accordance with 18 CFR 342.3(d). For guidance 
in calculating the ceiling levels for each 12 month period beginning 
January 1, l995,\5\ see Explorer Pipeline Company, 71 FERC ] 61,416 at
