New York (Platts)--30Oct2009/109 am EDT/509 GMT
Platts is seeking comment on a proposal to change the basis of its US Atlantic
Coast gasoline cargo assessments to ex-duty and welcomes your feedback on
appropriate timing for this proposed change. 

Platts continues to assess the USAC gasoline cargoes on an inside-duty basis,
but typical market practices for gasoline import cargo transactions have
shifted primarily to an ex-duty basis. 

Platts will continue to assess the USAC distillate cargo markets on an
inside-duty basis.
