Latest action on H.R. 3949: Referred to the Subcommittee on Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Protection.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people and businesses that store propane in tanks up to 126,000 pounds. That could include fuel suppliers, farms, industrial sites, and other facilities that now may deal with CFATS rules. It also affects the Department of Homeland Security, which would have to create and apply the exemption. Communities near large propane storage sites could be affected if federal security oversight changes.
Why this matters: This bill matters because it could make propane storage easier and cheaper for many sites. It would do that by removing CFATS security rules for tanks up to 126,000 pounds. But CFATS is also meant to reduce the risk that dangerous chemicals could be misused. The bill does not say how any remaining risks would be handled, so the security effect is unclear.
