Commission

Georgia Power Company; Notice of

Availability of Environmental

Assessment

May 11, 1998.

A environmental assessment (EA) is

available for public review. The EA was

prepared for an application filed by

Georgia Power Company, licensee for

the Sinclair Hydroelectric Project. In its

application, the licensee requests

Commission approval to grant a permit

to a private developer to construct a

small, commercial marina on Lake

Sinclair, the project reservoir. The

proposed marina would be located near

the confluence of Sandy Run Creek and

the Oconee River in Hancock County,

Georgia.

Based on the environmental analyses

presented in the EA, the Commission’s

staff finds that, with the developer’s

proposed mitigative measures, the

marina development would not be a

major federal action significantly

affecting the quality of the human

environment.

The EA was written by staff in the

Office of Hydropower Licensing,

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

Copies of the EA may be obtained by

calling the Commission’s public

reference room at (202) 208–1371.

Commission

[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, Minus One Percent

May 11, 1998.

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 index system

as set forth at 18 CFR 342.3 is based on

the annual change in the Producer Price

Index for Finished Goods (PPI–FG),

minus one percent. The regulations

provide that each year the Commission

will publish an index reflecting the final

change in the PPI–FG, minus one

percent, after the final PPI–FG is made

available by the Bureau of Labor

Statistics in May of each calendar year.

The annual average PPI–FG index

figure for 1996 was 131.3 and the

annual average PPI–FG index figure for

1997 was 131.8.1 Thus, the percent

change (expressed as a decimal) in the

annual average PPI–FG from 1996 to

1997, minus one percent, is a negative

.006192.2 Oil pipelines must multiply

their July 1, 1997—June 30, 1998 rate

ceiling levels by 0.993808 to compute

their rate ceiling levels for the period

July 1, 1998, through June 30, 1999, in

accordance with 18 CFR 342.3(d).

To obtain July 1, 1998—June 30, 1999

ceiling levels, pipelines must first

calculate their ceiling levels for the

January 1, 1995—June 30, 1995 index

period, by multiplying their December

31, 1994 rates by 1.002175. Pipelines

must then multiply those ceiling levels

by 0.996415 to obtain the July 1, 1995—

June 30, 1996 ceiling levels, multiply

the July 1, 1995—June 30, 1996 ceiling

levels by 1.009124 to obtain the July 1,

1996—June 30, 1997 ceiling levels and

multiply the July 1, 1996–June 30, 1997

ceiling levels by 1.016583 to obtain the

July 1, 1997—June 30, 1998 ceiling

levels. Finally, pipelines must multiply

the July 1, 1997—June 30, 1998 ceiling

levels by 0.993808 to obtain the July 1,

1998—June 30, 1999 ceiling levels. See

Explorer Pipeline Company, 71 FERC ¶

61,416 at n.6 (1995) for an explanation

of how ceiling levels must be calculated.
