tax residential costs found in this
notice. These costs for electricity,
natural gas, No. 2 heating oil, and
propane are based on simulations used
to produce the March 2016, EIA ShortTerm Energy Outlook (EIA releases the
Outlook monthly). The representative
average unit after-tax cost for kerosene
is derived from its price relative to that
of heating oil, based on the 2010-to 2013
averages of the U.S. refiner price to end
users, which include all the major
energy-consuming sectors in the U.S. for
these fuels. The source for these price
data is the February 2016, Monthly
Energy Review DOE/EIA–0035(2016/02).
The Short-Term Energy Outlook and the
Monthly Energy Review are available on
the EIA Web site at https://
www.eia.doe.gov. The representative
average unit after-tax cost for propane is
derived from its price relative to that of
heating oil, based on the 2016 averages
of the U.S. residential sector prices
found in the Annual Energy Outlook
2015, DOE/EIA–0383(2015). For more
information on the data sources used in

The 2016 representative average unit
costs under section 323(b)(4) of the Act
are set forth in Table 1, and will become
effective April 22, 2016. They will
remain in effect until further notice.
