U.S. ENERGY INFORMATION ADMINISTRATION WASHINGTON DC 20585 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FEBRUARY 12, 1997
EIA Resumes Semimonthly Dissemination of Residential Winter Fuels Prices
Effective February 10, 1997, the Energy Information Administration will no longer publish the residential heating oil and propane prices on a weekly schedule. Prices will resume their normal publication cycle of twice a month. Due to recent price decreases in both the wholesale and retail markets, and barring any further long-term severe winter weather, EIA requested that the States resume a semimonthly collection cycle for the remainder of the heating season (February 17 through March 17, 1997). Residential heating oil and propane prices are collected by twenty-four State Energy Offices who participate with the EIA in a cooperative agreement during the winter heating season. Residential price data are published in the Weekly Petroleum Status Report, and appear on EIA's World Wide Web site on the Internet at http://www.eia.doe.gov. For further information regarding this program, contact Alice Lippert at 202-586-9600. The Energy Information Administration is an independent statistical agency within the U.S. Department of Energy that is responsible for collecting, analyzing, and disseminating energy information. For information about EIA data and reports contact the National Energy Information Center, Room 1F-048, Forrestal Building, Washington, DC 20585, (202) 586-8800 or visit EIA's Web site.
