[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), minus point two one 

percent (PPI–FG ¥0.21%). The 

Commission determined in the January 

2022 Order 1 that PPI–FG ¥0.21% is the 

appropriate oil pricing index factor for 

pipelines to use for this period. 

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 

202.9 for 2020 and 221.0 for 2021.2

Thus, the percent change (expressed as 

a decimal) in the annual average PPI–FG 

from 2020 to 2021, minus 0.21 percent, 

is positive 0.087107.3 Oil pipelines 

must multiply their July 1, 2021, 

through June 30, 2022, index ceiling 

levels 4 by positive 1.087107 5 to 

compute their index ceiling levels for 

July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2023, in 

accordance with 18 CFR 342.3(d). For
