Part II - Regulations Vol. 40, No. 15 N.S. Reg. 134/2016 Made: June 30, 2016 Filed: July 4, 2016 Prescribed Petroleum Products Prices Order dated June 30, 2016 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 In the matter of the Petroleum Products Pricing Act M07532 - 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: Peter W. Gurnham, Q.C., 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 product 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 June 29, 2016, are: Grade 1 Regular gasoline 50.2¢ per litre Ultra-low-sulfur diesel oil 50.0¢ per litre

Now therefore the Board prescribes the benchmark prices for petroleum products to be: Gasoline: Grade 1 50.2¢ per litre Grade 2 53.2¢ per litre Grade 3 56.2¢ per litre Ultra-low-sulfur diesel oil 50.0¢ 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 0.3¢ per litre Ultra-low-sulfur diesel oil: plus 0.4¢ per litre And

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