22 | average of the Consumer Price Index as of the close of the | ||||||
23 | 12-month period ending on August 31 of that calendar year. | ||||||
24 | The term "Consumer Price Index" means the last Consumer | ||||||
25 | Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the United | ||||||
26 | States Department of Labor or any successor agency. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
