period(s) will extend for 12 months from the end of the last preceding period, except that the length of the final
period may vary. The first day of the second and any succeeding period(s) will be the effective date of the

average is then compared to the average of the monthly Indexes for the 12-month interval ending 3 months prior

index from the base index will be the economic price adjustment for the period being considered for adjustment.

percentage increase or decrease against the total price of the invoice less reimbursable postage or transportation
costs and separately adjusted paper prices. Payment discounts shall be applied after the invoice price is adjusted.
