New York (Platts)--30Jul2010/1051 am EDT/1451 GMT
Beginning September 1, 2010, Platts will discontinue Page 682 (PPU682) from
Platts Global Alert's US Forward Curve add-on service, as this is a duplicate
of the benzene physical forward price assessments found on PGA page 61
(PCA061) of Platts Petrochemical Alert.

The associated US oil derivatives market data codes found under the DR
category are mislabeled as "swaps" when they are, in fact, physical forwards.
The US physical forwards are found under the AU category.

These codes will be renamed as physical forwards and discontinued from the DR
category:

Current benzene DR category             Benzene US physical forwards 
(to be discontinued)
