LRAC Achievements 2008

Legislative & Regulatory Action Center (LRAC)

NEFI's representation of the Oilheat industry in Washington is complemented by our new internal Legislative and Regulatory Action Center. Working in concert with our Washington D.C. regulatory consultant and legislative council, this in-house operation significantly enhances industry representation in the nation's capital. The Center boosts NEFI's ability to issue prompt communications to members concerning a variety of pertinent and time-sensitive issues.

The Center takes advantage of technology that allows nearly instantaneous communication with individual members of Congress, or with groups such as committees or leadership bodies. The Center also facilitates NEFI's ongoing cooperative efforts with New England member states and other state associations around the country, and national associations including the National Oilheat Research Alliance (NORA), the National Association for Oilheat Research & Education (NAORE), and the Petroleum Marketers Association of America (PMAA).

The Center aims to issue timely legislative alerts and easy-to-understand regulatory compliance bulletins. It will be working on a number of important projects, including the creation of a "Regulatory Guidance Manual" for NEFI members and periodic regional seminars. NEFI is also considering setting up a legislative and regulatory hotline for members.

NEFI's Action center needs your support to continue to represent your vital business interests before Congress and regulatory agencies. Our success tally in representing the Oilheat and liquid fuels industry is outstanding.

Please support our efforts by downloading and acting upon this pledge form.

Members-Only Compliance Kits

Since its creation in 2006, the Action Center has published a series of comprehensive MEMBERS-ONLY compliance kits on federal regulations as a service to its members, saving them thousands of dollars in potential fines and citations. Some of these documents may be available to non-members for a nominal fee. Non-members that find this information useful may want to consider membership with NEFI to recieve all future kits and regulatory updates--free of charge (Click here to join!). For more information on receiving this valuable compliance info, contact the Action Center at 617-924-1000 x216.

NEFI has issued Compliance Kits and Guides on the following regulations:

• EPA regulations affecting diesel fuel, kerosene and heating oil marketers in NE/MA
• DOT HAZMAT Registration (If your company placards trucks, it must comply).
• TIER II Inventory Reporting (If you store fuel, you may have to comply).
• DOT & SPCC Contingence Plan Requirements (Coming Soon).
