This bill directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to exempt propane tanks holding up to 126,000 pounds of propane from regulations under the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards, commonly known as CFATS. These regulations normally require certain chemical facilities to implement security measures and report to the Department of Homeland Security. The bill aims to reduce regulatory burdens on propane distributors and retailers who use smaller storage tanks for residential and small commercial purposes. By exempting tanks below the 126,000-pound threshold, the legislation would simplify compliance requirements for propane businesses while maintaining security regulations for larger storage facilities. The bill does not specify new funding requirements or implementation timelines.
