SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts launches new USGC CBOB extended pipeline assessments

S&P Global Platts will start publishing new extended pipeline assessments for Gulf Coast CBOB gasoline (A grade) effective Thursday, September 1, 2016.

This date was originally proposed in a subscriber note published July 18, 2016.

The assessments reflect gasoline moving on the Colonial Pipeline for five forward cycles beyond the current assessment for the prompt cycle.

The RVP for each assessment will follow Colonial Pipeline's seasonal schedule.

The assessments and codes are as follows:

Outright RVP Cycle Monthly avg Cycle 2 AARQW00 AARQWRV AARQWCY AARQW03 Cycle 3 AARQX00 AARQXRV AARQXCY AARQX03 Cycle 4 AARQY00 AARQYRV AARQYCY AARQY03 Cycle 5 AARQZ00 AARQZRV AARQZCY AARQZ03 Cycle 6 AARQA00 AARQARV AARQACY AARQA03
