Bill > HR3949

This bill directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to exempt propane tanks with a capacity up to 126,000 pounds from Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) regulations. CFATS is a regulatory program established by the Department of Homeland Security to ensure that facilities that possess certain hazardous chemicals have security measures in place to prevent potential terrorist attacks. By exempting these large propane tanks from the current regulatory requirements, the bill aims to reduce regulatory burden for propane storage facilities while potentially making propane more accessible. The bill is relatively short and focused on providing regulatory relief specifically for propane storage facilities with tanks of this specific size, which could benefit industries that rely on large propane storage, such as agricultural, industrial, and energy sectors.
