SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts to discontinue USGC Premium CBOB assessment

Following a period of industry feedback that ended February 28, Platts confirms it will discontinue assessments for US Gulf Coast Premium CBOB (D-Grade) gasoline effective January 1, 2015. Platts initially proposed suspending this assessment in a note published on September 19, 2013. Colonial Pipeline no longer ships this grade with regularity and, as a result, Platts has observed substantially diminished market liquidity. These assessments are published on Platts Global Alert page 330, and in the Platts assessment database under code AAWRW00 for pipeline Premium CBOB, and AAWET00 for waterborne Premium CBOB. The seasonal supplemental assessment for Premium CBOB appears on PGA page 332 under the symbol AASOC00. Please send any further feedback to americas_products@platts.com and pricegroup@platts.com. For written comments, please provide a clear indication if comments are not intended for publication by Platts or for public viewing. Platts will consider all comments received and will make comments not marked as confidential available to the public upon request.
