SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts to alter monthly averages in OTC Index

Effective June 26, Platts will stop publishing the second trailing final monthly average for the over-the-counter coal products and the CAPP 1% vs. Compliance Spread listed in the daily OTC Broker Index table in Coal Trader. After an initial period of feedback, which ended March 31, Platts has decided to eliminate the second trailing final monthly average.

In addition, Platts would like to add in its place new content it believes would be more relevant to market participants, including an average of the current monthly and quarterly coal prices.

Please address any questions or comments to coal@platts.com and pricegroup@platts.com. For written comments, please provide a clear indication if comments are not intended for publication by Platts for public viewing.

Platts will consider all comments received and will make comments not marked as confidential available upon request.
