Summary: The commenter argues that retail LPG marketers should be excluded from the proposed regulations because they already comply with rigorous NFPA 58 safety standards. They contend that imposing these federal regulations would lead marketers to segment their systems into smaller groups, which would increase safety risks due to the need for more tanks and frequent truck refilling.
The proposed regulations should exclude all retail LPG marketers because they are already subject to the very rigorous NFPA 58 safety requirements, their systems contain very little fuel compared to the natural gas distributers, and their sources csn be isolated by a single valve on the LPG tank. If the retail LPG marketers are not excluded from the regulations, many marketers are likely to remove the burden and cost of these federal regulations by breaking up their existing LPG systems into segments of 9 or fewer customers, resulting in increased safety risk fom the additional tanks and their additional refillings from delivery trucks.
