Consultation on the urgent amendment to part J of the Rules: the seasonal adjustment shapes issue [Closing date: 2008/11/28 17:00:00 GMT+13]

Posted 13 November 2008

On 18 September 2008 the Minister of Energy, following a recommendation made by the Commission, made an urgent amendment to the Rules.  The amendment inserted a new rule 11.4.9 in part J of the Rules. The Rule amendment came into force on 16 October 2008.

The Rule amendment was necessary to resolve an unanticipated issue with the seasonal adjustment shapes that arose following the major change to the reconciliation process that occurred when part J of the Rules (and other associated Rule amendments) came into force on 1 May 2008.
