Proposal to halt USAC Buckeye conventional gasoline assessments

Platts is seeking feedback on a proposal to discontinue its US Atlantic Coast Buckeye Pipeline conventional gasoline assessments basis New York Harbor after April 30, 2012.

This proposal follows a move by Buckeye Partners to replace conventional gasoline shipments with conventional blendstock for oxygenate blending (CBOB) in its Buckeye pipeline system.

Platts, however, intends to continue assessing the US Atlantic Coast barge conventional gasoline assessments basis New York Harbor even after discontinuing its Buckeye conventional gasoline assessments basis New York Harbor.
