SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts to leave USAC Buckeye, Laurel assessment dates unchanged

As a result of extensive market feedback, S&P Global Platts has decided not to adjust its assessment date ranges for refined products on Buckeye Pipeline and Laurel Pipeline in New York Harbor.

The assessment dates will remain 3-7 days forward Monday through Wednesday, and 5-9 days forward Thursday and Friday.

In a subscriber note published September 6, 2019, Platts had proposed changing the Wednesday date range to 5-9 days forward with effect from November 15, 2019.

A majority of market feedback supported leaving the Wednesday assessment date range as 3-7 days forward.

In addition, Buckeye Pipeline has confirmed that its three-day nomination requirement meant that for shipments on a Saturday or Sunday, batches must be nominated by the prior Wednesday.

That meant the current 3-7 day assessment range on Wednesdays gives shippers enough time to nominate any day in the range.

The applicable product assessments include: Buckeye Pipeline Distillates Jet Kero AAJNL00 Jet vs NYMEX ADIEA00 Jet Kero LS AAJNN00 ULSD AATHF00 ULSD vs NYMEX ADIYA00

Assessment date ranges for refined product barges in New York Harbor were not part of the September proposal and remain on the normal schedule, which runs 3-7 days forward Monday through Friday.
