SUMMARY
Pursuant to the requirements of the Propane Education and Research Act of 1996 (PERA),[1] the Department of Commerce (Department) is required to analyze changes in propane prices relative to other energy sources. This interim report comes 180 days after the latest report found that propane prices exceeded a threshold established by PERA. This report presents the relevant price data and concludes that in 2008 propane prices still exceeded the threshold established by PERA. As a result, certain activities of the Propane Education and Research Council (Council) continue to be restricted. The Department will conduct another propane price analysis and issue a full report in 180 days, as required by PERA.
