Part II - Regulations Vol. 39, No. 25 N.S. Reg. 357/2015 Made: November 19, 2015 Filed: November 20, 2015 Petroleum Products Prices Order dated November 19, 2015 made by the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board pursuant to

Section 14 of the Petroleum Products Pricing Act and Sections 16 to 19 of the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulations Order NSUARB-GAS-W-15-52 In the matter of the Petroleum Products Pricing Act - and - In the matter of Prescribing Prices for Petroleum Products pursuant to

Section 14 of the Petroleum Products Pricing Act and Sections 16 to 19 of the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulations Before: Roland A. Deveau, Q.C., Vice-Chair

Whereas the purpose of the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulations is to ensure just and reasonable prices for specified petroleum products taking into consideration the objectives of preserving the availability of such products in rural areas, stabilizing prices of such products and minimizing the variances in prices of such products across the Province; And

whereas the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board (“Board”) considered the manner in which it would proceed to set petroleum prices in its decision, 2006 NSUARB 108, issued on October 16, 2006; And

whereas the Board revised the retail margin and transportation allowance effective January 6, 2012, in its decision, 2011 NSUARB 181, issued on November 23, 2011; And

whereas the Board revised the wholesale margin effective January 4, 2013, in its decision, 2012 NSUARB 213, issued on December 12, 2012; And

whereas the average of the average of the daily high and low reported product prices (in Canadian cents) for the week ended November 18, 2015, are: Grade 1 Regular gasoline 46.2¢ per litre Ultra-low-sulfur diesel oil 48.3¢ per litre

Now therefore the Board prescribes the benchmark prices for petroleum products to be: Gasoline: Grade 1 46.2¢ per litre Grade 2 49.2¢ per litre Grade 3 52.2¢ per litre Ultra-low-sulfur diesel oil 48.3¢ per litre And

now therefore the Board has determined, based on historical data regarding price changes and to achieve revenue neutrality, it is appropriate to apply, and the Board so orders, forward averaging corrections of: Gasoline: minus 0.7¢ per litre Ultra-low-sulfur diesel oil: minus 0.8¢ per litre And

whereas a winter blending adjustment of plus 9.0¢ per litre is required for ultra-low-sulfur diesel oil; And

now therefore the Board prescribes the prices for petroleum products as set forth in

Schedule “A” effective on and after 12:01 a.m., November 20, 2015. 1104 © NS Office of the Registrar of Regulations. Web version.

Part II - Regulations Vol. 39, No. 25 N.S. Reg. 362/2015 Made: November 26, 2015 Filed: November 27, 2015 Petroleum Products Prices Order dated November 26, 2015 made by the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board pursuant to

Section 14 of the Petroleum Products Pricing Act and Sections 16 to 19 of the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulations Order NSUARB-GAS-W-15-53 In the matter of the Petroleum Products Pricing Act - and - In the matter of Prescribing Prices for Petroleum Products pursuant to

Section 14 of the Petroleum Products Pricing Act and Sections 16 to 19 of the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulations Before: Kulvinder S. Dhillon, P. Eng., Member

Whereas the purpose of the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulations is to ensure just and reasonable prices for specified petroleum products taking into consideration the objectives of preserving the availability of such products in rural areas, stabilizing prices of such products and minimizing the variances in prices of such products across the Province; And

whereas the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board (“Board”) considered the manner in which it would proceed to set petroleum prices in its decision, 2006 NSUARB 108, issued on October 16, 2006; And

whereas the Board revised the retail margin and transportation allowance effective January 6, 2012, in its decision, 2011 NSUARB 181, issued on November 23, 2011; And

whereas the Board revised the wholesale margin effective January 4, 2013, in its decision, 2012 NSUARB 213, issued on December 12, 2012; And

whereas the average of the average of the daily high and low reported product prices (in Canadian cents) for the week ended November 25, 2015, are: Grade 1 Regular gasoline 49¢ per litre Ultra-low-sulfur diesel oil 48¢ per litre

Now therefore the Board prescribes the benchmark prices for petroleum products to be: Gasoline: Grade 1 49¢ per litre Grade 2 52¢ per litre Grade 3 55¢ per litre Ultra-low-sulfur diesel oil 48¢ per litre And

now therefore the Board has determined, based on historical data regarding price changes and to achieve revenue neutrality, it is appropriate to apply, and the Board so orders, forward averaging corrections of: Gasoline: nil Ultra-low-sulfur diesel oil: minus 0.5¢ per litre And

whereas a winter blending adjustment of plus 9.0¢ per litre is required for ultra-low-sulfur diesel oil; And

now therefore the Board prescribes the prices for petroleum products as set forth in

Schedule “A” effective on and after 12:01 a.m., November 27, 2015. 1125 © NS Office of the Registrar of Regulations. Web version.

Schedule A to the regulations is repealed and the following table substituted: WEIGHT LIMIT Axle Weights Limits Steering Axle Maximum 5500 kg1 Self-Steering Axle2 Maximum 8000 kg Tandem Axle (including tandem equivalent axle) Axle Spread 1.2 m to 1.85 m Maximum 18 000 kg Self-Steering Quad Axle 3 Tridem axle spread 3.0 m to less than 3.6 m Maximum 30 500 kg Tridem axle spread 3.6 m to 3.7 m Maximum 32 000 kg Gross Vehicle Weight Limits Maximum Weight Roads Seven axles - tridem 3.0 m to less than 3.6 m Maximum 54 000 kg Seven axles - tridem 3.6 m to 3.7 m Maximum 55 500 kg Intermediate Weight Roads Maximum 49 500 kg4, 5 All Other Highways Maximum 41 500 kg6 1 The maximum steering axle weight can be as high as 9100 kg for a vehicle or combination of vehicles if the load-carrying capacity of the axle, tires, and all other components is not exceeded and the tire loading does not exceed 10 kg/mm of width; however, the maximum gross vehicle weight limit will be based on a steering axle weight of 5500 kg. 2 The self-steering axle may be equipped with single tires with a minimum width of 365 mm, or with dual tires.

The self-steering axle may be liftable, but the controls, whether remote or manual, to raise or lower the self-steering axle must be located on the semi-trailer only, except for a semi-trailer used to carry raw forest products where the control may be in the cab of the tractor. The self-steering axle may be automatically raised when the vehicle is reversing.

The self-steering axle may be manually raised to provide emergency drive axle traction, but only if the controls to manually raise the self-steering axle do not activate unless the emergency 4-way flashers are activated, and the controls must include a device which prevents the raising the self-steering axle at any speed greater than 60 km/hr. 3 The self-steering quad axle semi-trailer must be equipped with a device that accurately displays the total weight on the self-steering quad axle in kilograms, or with a device and a table or chart from the combined use of which the total weight on the self-steering quad axle in kilograms may be readily and accurately obtained. 4 For roads listed in

Schedule B to the Road List Regulations made under the Act, the maximum weight is 54 000 kg for 7 axles with a tridem axle spread of 3.0 m to less than 3.6 m, and 55 500 kg for 7 axles with a tridem axle spread of 3.6 m to 3.7 m. 5 Maximum quad axle weight is 26 000 kg. 6 Maximum quad axle weight is 18 000 kg. 1134 © NS Office of the Registrar of Regulations.
