Section 402(c) of the 1996 Act mandates that we adjust this revenue threshold annually to reflect the effects of inflation since October 19, 1992, at which time the threshold was $100 million. In accordance with the Act, we adjust the threshold based on the ratio of the gross domestic product chain-type price index (GDP-CPI) in the revenue year and the GDP-CPI for October 19,1992. The revenue threshold for 2000 was determined as follows:

(1)October 19, 1992 GDP-CPI—91.62

(3)Inflation Factor (line 2÷line 1)—1.1678
