Propane Accessibility and Regulatory Relief Act
This bill exempts propane tanks with a capacity of up to 126,000 pounds from certain security regulations (CFATS) under the Homeland Security Act. It directly affects small to medium propane storage facilities and businesses that own or operate these tanks. The key provision requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to take necessary actions to remove these tanks from the CFATS regulatory framework. This change simplifies compliance for affected businesses by eliminating a specific federal security requirement they previously faced.
