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 point seven 
eight percent (PPI-FG + 0.78). The Commission determined in an Order 
Establishing Index Level,\1\ issued

[[Page 27848]]

December 17, 2020, that PPI-FG + 0.78 is the appropriate oil pricing 
index factor for pipelines to use for the five-year period commencing 
July 1, 2021.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 173 FERC ] 61,245, at P 63 (2020), reh'g pending.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 205.7 for 
2019 and 202.9 for 2020.\2\ Thus, the percent change (expressed as a 
decimal) in the annual average PPI-FG from 2019 to 2020, plus 0.78 
percent, is negative 0.005812.\3\ Oil pipelines must multiply their 
July 1, 2020, through June 30, 2021, index ceiling levels by positive 
0.994188 \4\ to compute their index ceiling levels for July 1, 2021, 
through June 30, 2022, 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 
n.6 (1995).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \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 Producer Price Indexes via the 
internet at https://www.bls.gov/ppi/home.htm. To obtain the BLS data, 
scroll down to ``PPI Databases'' and click on ``Top Picks'' of the 
Commodity Data including ``headline'' FD-ID indexes (Producer Price 
Index--PPI). At the next screen, under the heading ``PPI Commodity 
Data,'' select the box, ``Finished goods--WPUFD49207,'' then scroll
