Abstract
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) is issuing this final order concluding its five-year review of the oil pricing index, established in Order No. 561, Revisions to Oil Pipeline Regulations Pursuant to the Energy Policy Act of 1992, FERC Stats. & Regs. [Regs. Preambles, 1991-1996] para. 30,985 (1993). After consideration of all the initial and reply comments, the Commission has concluded that the PPI-1 index has reasonably approximated the actual cost changes in the oil pipeline industry during the preceding five year period, and that it should be continued for the subsequent five year period. At the end of this period, in July 2005, the Commission will once again review the index to determine whether it continues to measure adequately the cost changes in the oil pipeline industry.
