DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

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 

May 14, 2009. 

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 one point three 

percent (PPI+1.3). The Commission 

determined in an ‘‘Order Establishing 

Index for Oil Price Change Ceiling 

Levels’’ issued March 21, 2006, that 

PPI+1.3 is the appropriate oil pricing 

index factor for pipelines to use.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 

166.6 for 2007 and 177.1 for 2008.2

Thus, the percent change (expressed as 

a decimal) in the annual average PPI–FG 

from 2007 to 2008, plus 1.3 percent, is 

positive 0.076025.3 Oil pipelines must 

multiply their July 1, 2008, through June 

30, 2009, index ceiling levels by
