Midwestern Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Initiation of Section 5 Proceeding, 12370-12371 [2018-05678]

Download as PDF 12370 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 55 / Wednesday, March 21, 2018 / Notices on industry-wide oil pipeline costs in the 2020 five-year review of the oil pipeline index level.85 In this way the Commission will ensure that the industry-wide reduced costs are incorporated on an industry-wide basis as part of the index review. To the extent the Commission issues subsequent orders affecting the income tax policy for other partnership or passthrough business forms, oil pipelines should similarly reflect those policy changes on Form No. 6, page 700. 47. In addition, the Commission emphasizes that the post-United Airlines’ policy changes (as well as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017) will be reflected in initial oil and gas pipeline cost-of-service rates and cost-of-service rate changes on a going-forward basis under the Commission’s existing ratemaking policies,86 including cost-ofservice rate proceedings resulting from shipper-initiated complaints.

Under indexing, oil pipelines may adjust their rates annually, so long as those rates remain at or below the applicable ceiling levels. The ceiling levels change every July 1 based on an index that tracks industry-wide cost changes. 18 CFR 342.3. Currently, the index level is based upon the Producer’s Price Index for Finished Goods plus 1.23. The index will be re-assessed in 2020 based upon industry-wide oil pipeline cost changes between 2014 and 2019. E.g.
