SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts to discontinue Atlanta CBOB, Atlanta Premium CBOB

Platts proposes to discontinue its assessments for Atlanta CBOB 87 and Atlanta Premium CBOB 93 with effect from March 31, 2016, following the US Environmental Protection Agency's approval of Georgia's plans to remove the requirement to sell low sulfur, 7.0 RVP gasoline in the 45-county Georgia Fuel Area during the high ozone season with effect from October 1, 2015.

From October, Atlanta CBOB (S grade) gasoline is expected to be replaced by A grade CBOB, which already trades on the US Gulf Coast and is assessed by Platts under the database code AARQU00. The Atlanta Premium CBOB (T grade) is expected to be replaced by D grade CBOB, for which Platts is proposing to launch a new assessment from October 1, 2015.

In addition, from October 1, Platts proposes to amend its methodology for the Atlanta Premium CBOB (T grade) by assessing this value at parity to D grade CBOB, which Platts has proposed launching October 1. Platts also proposes to amend its methodology for Atlanta CBOB (S grade) by assessing it at parity to the existing A grade CBOB assessment.

For a complete list of all affected assessments and their database codes, please see the table below. These assessments are also published on Platts Global Alert page 330 and in the US Marketscan.
