the ratio, if greater than 1, of the annual value of current-dollar

Commerce, for the calendar year preceding the year in which the 
modification is calculated under this section, to the published annual 
value of such index for the calendar year preceding the effective date

feasible, with rounding consistent with section 177(d) of this
