1. Ontario Regulation 282/98 is amended by adding the following section:

41. (1) For the 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 taxation years, the assessed value of a pipe line shall be determined as follows:

1. The length of the pipe line in feet shall be multiplied by the applicable rate in Table 1, 2 or 3 of Part X.  Table 1 applies to offshore pipe lines.  Table 2 applies to plastic field gathering pipe lines and plastic distribution pipe lines. Table 3 applies to other pipe lines.

2. The amount determined under paragraph 1 shall be depreciated by reducing the amount by the applicable percentage in Table 4 for offshore pipe lines and in Table 5 for plastic field gathering pipe lines, plastic gas distribution pipe lines and other pipe lines.

3. After the reduction under paragraph 2, $250 shall be added for each connection to an end user.

(2) If Table 1, 2 or 3 applies, but the outside diameter of the pipe line is not included in the Table, the applicable rate for the purposes of paragraph 1 of subsection (1) is the rate for the closest outside diameter or range of outside diameter that is included in the Table.

2. Sections 41.1 and 41.2 of the Regulation are revoked.
