The October CPI for any year is the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale, AZ, all items, published by the United States Department of Labor at www.bls.gov/cpi/regional-resources.htm, for October of that year.
2. 2. Round the result from subsection (A)(1) down to the nearest cent. ADEQ shall post the new amounts on its webpage and install them in the billing software as soon as practicable.
B. In addition to the technical requirements proposed for any general permit to be included in this Article, the Department shall propose the category to be assigned to the permit according to the Table below.
