**[Docket No. RM93–11–000]**
**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 two point six five percent (PPI–FG+2.65). The Commission determined in an ‘‘Order Establishing Index For Oil Price Change Ceiling Levels’’ issued December 16, 2010, that PPI–FG+2.65 is the appropriate oil pricing index factor for pipelines to use for the five-year period commencing July 1, 2011. 1

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 179.8 for 2010 and 190.5 for 2011. 2 Thus, the percent change (expressed as a decimal) in the annual average PPI–FG from 2010 to 2011, plus 2.65 percent, is positive 0.086011. 3 Oil pipelines must multiply their July 1, 2011, through June 30, 2012, index ceiling levels by positive 1.086011 4 to compute their index ceiling levels for July 1, 2012, through June 30, 2013, in accordance with 18 CFR 342.3(d). For guidance in calculating the ceiling levels for each 12 month period beginning January 1,
