SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts extends feedback deadline for proposed DDGS roll date change

S&P Global Platts is extending the feedback period for a proposal to update the assessed delivery period for the CIF New Orleans dried distillers grain barge assessment and FOB Chicago trucks delivered to the Channahon, Illinois, railhead.

The original proposal published September 14 put forward a deadline for feedback of November 15 and for the assessments to be updated effective December 20. The new proposal extends the deadline for feedback to December 5 and sets out a timetable for assessments to be updated effective January 4, 2017.

Platts proposes to roll both barge and truck assessments from a current or prompt calendar month to the next calendar month on the 21st day of the current month. If the 21st day of the current month should fall on a public holiday or weekend, the roll to next month will take place on the business day immediately preceding the 21st day of the month.

The daily assessments impacted by this proposal are: CIF New Orleans barge, Platts code: AADDG00; FOB Chicago truck, Platts code: ACDDG00. Both daily assessed values appear in the Platts Biofuelscan, Weekly Global Ethanol Report and on the Platts Biofuels Alert real-time system Page 501.

The proposal will also impact the weekly and monthly averages: CIF New Orleans barge weekly average: AADDG04 FOB Chicago truck weekly average: ACDDG04 CIF New Orleans barge monthly average: AADDG03 FOB Chicago truck monthly average: ACDDG03
