FLEET MANAGERS SAY OPGA TURNS THEM INTO LOCAL CELEBRITIES OPGA went on a few road trips this summer, visiting fleet operators and ask-ing about their experiences with autogas. The associations marketing team traveled over 1,500 miles and stopped at eight fleet locations. These interviews were broad-cast live on Facebook and are running on OPGA’s Facebook and LinkedIn pages. To view all the videos and see what Ohio fleet manages say about autogas, click here. “We covered every corner of Ohio ask-ing fleet managers to tell their story,” Der-ek Dalling, executive director of OPGA. Over the past two years, the associa-tion’s videos reached 86,000 Ohio resi-dents; by the end of 2019, they estimate the videos will have reached 200,000. Ann Jorgensen, chair of OPGA’s autogas and new technologies committee, says, “In the last two years, we’ve discovered these videos let communities know that their of-ficials made a smart choice that saves tax-payer money, uses locally refined propane, and is a green choice for everyone in the

community.” “Our intention was to make communi-ty heroes out of the people who purchase propane vehicles,” says Joe Ross, partner at CR Marketing. “For instance, in school districts, these videos show how superin-tendents, mechanics, and school boards saved the district money and created a green solution for the community.”

Some of the fleet managers include:• City of Columbus• Swanton Schools• Laketran• Central Ohio Farmers Co-Op• Columbus Zoo• Delaware City Schools• Big Walnut Schools• TAG Landscaping and more!

While the forecasts have varied - some suggest frigid tempera-tures and less snow while others suggest cold temperatures and a snowier winter than normal - nearly all predictions are suggesting colder temperatures than normal for Ohio this winter. Almost all weather predictions are suggesting winter tempera-tures could hit Ohio sooner than normal too. With a wet spring and the planting/harvesting impacted, crop drying could be a concern on supply.

ANOTHER VORTEX WINTER ON ITS WAY? And who knows where the Line 5 situation in the state up north will end up and what it will mean for propane supplies? If all of this seems familiar, it is! These same situations all oc-curred during the dreaded Vortex Winter. What this means is that the OPGA encourages all members to make sure - as always - that you have your winter supply issues addressed, that you have your transport plans in place, and that your customers are ready for winter with you as their trusted propane provider.

Recently, the OPGA received a question from a member about

the proper posting of the HazMat 2-4-0 decal. The OPGA shared

the following information with the member and thought this

might be a perfect reminder for the entire membership:

The document that governs placards is NFPA 704, The Stan-

dard System for the Identification of the Hazards of Materials for

Emergency Response. According to NFPA 704, placards at your

facility are meant to provide quick hazard information for emer-

gency responders. Placards should be visible in case of emergency

and placed where the responders are likely to enter. If there are

multiple entrance points, then there should be numerous plac-

ards. Section 4.3 of NFPA 704 provides guidance on locations for

posting.

The placement and quantity should be decided using a facility’s

best judgment coupled with advice from your Authority Having

Jurisdiction. At a minimum the placard should be posted on the

two exterior walls of a facility or building, each access to a room

or area, or each principal means to an exterior storage area.

In the words of one OPGA leader, this essentially means: It is in

the eyes of the inspector based on interpretation. Based on most

interpretations, the decal is to be affixed to all 4 sides of the bulk

propane tank to be able to be readily identified in an emergency.

BY ALEX BOEHNKEOPGA DIRECTOR OF GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS

The OPGA won a major legislative victory with the passage of our priority legislation the Ohio Propane Marketing Program otherwise known as the state checkoff. The legislation was passed as part of Ohio’s biannual operating budget

which was signed into law by Governor DeWine in mid-July. The legislation creates a propane commodity checkoff program similar to those developed in over a dozen states. As a result of the legisla-tion, retailers will be able to utilize funds to promote the industry through research and development, rebates, safety and training, and public/consumer education. Furthermore, the checkoff pro-gram enables Ohio to develop an all-encompassing energy port-folio built to meet the needs of today and tomorrow. We greatly appreciate the efforts of representative Jay Edwards and many of his colleagues, who fought hard to get the program included in the state budget bill. We also want to recognize the hard-work of

OPGA SCORES LEGISLATIVE VICTORY WITH PASSAGE OF CHECKOFF PROGRAM

our board of directors and lobbying team, who worked tirelessly to secure passage of the program. Before assessments can begin however, the program must pass a statewide referendum in which all propane retailers will have an opportunity to vote on the proposal. OPGA leadership is current-ly in discussions with state officials regarding next steps. Please stay tuned for more information on this important program in the coming weeks and months.

OPGA JOINS BUSINESS GROUPS IN SUCCESSFULLY DEFEATING CHANGES TO STATE BUSINESS INCOME TAX DEDUCTION Also taking center stage during budget negotiations was discus-sion about reducing the amount of the business investor income deduction for pass-through entities such as S-corps, partnerships and LLCs and eliminating the 3% rate cap on income above the deduction amount. The OPGA worked diligently alongside nu-merous other business organizations urging the legislature and the Governor to maintain the current $250,000 deduction and the 3% rate cap. Those efforts paid off and the deduction and cap were retained.

PROPANE DAYS THROUGH THE EYES OF A FIRST TIMER

BY MIKE WALTERS, SUPERIOR ENERGY SYSTEMS, LTD.

Through the years, I have kind of shied away from Propane

Days for a number of reasons. First, it’s fairly expensive to go to

Washington, DC. It takes more time away from the day to day

business. Then there is the matter of not being a marketer in this

stage of my career, even though I have been in the industry for

nearly forty years, twenty-five in the retail industry, I really didn’t

think I had much to offer at Propane Days. All of that changed

when... The first week of May, at the NPGA CETP Certification Com-

mittee/PERC Advisory Committee meeting, I was informed that I

would be attending the NPGA Board Meeting. By the time I got

back to my office the following week, I had said to myself, “well,

if you’re going to DC, you may as well engage with the Ohio con-

tingent at Propane Days and see what that’s all about”.

OPGA RAISES OVER $11K FOR OHIO PROPANE PAC

With the November elections fast ap-proaching and shaping up to be another crucial election in the state of Ohio, the OPGA knew that raising additional PAC funds was essential. The Ohio Propane PAC raised $6,000 with its initial plan at the Summer Convention. The group raised over $5,000 more

when OPGA Executive Director Derek Dalling sold his soul. Dalling, a proud Michigan alum, sported his maize and blue at the tailgate reception to kickoff the OPGA Summer Convention. Dalling boldly challenged the OPGA membership to raise an additional $5,000, and if suc-cessful, he would shed the maize and blue for scarlet and gray and he would partake in an O-H-I-O photo. To help the effort, the winnings of $1,000

from the OPGA raffle (including $500 from Dalling) were donated back to OPGA PAC. Past President Bob Herron then dressed as a Michigan cheerleader to help raise addition-al funds to seal Dalling’s fate. As promised and without further adieu,

here is proof that there is a price tag on one’s soul.

OPGA Executive Director, a proud Michigan alum, poses with his family, Erin, Ashleigh and Jonathon.

Dalling challenged OPGA summer convention attendees to raise an additional $5K for the OPGA

PAC. In exchange, he agreed to wear an OSU shirt and pose in the iconic O-H-I-O sign.

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) today published a notice of pro-posed rulemaking (NPRM) on changes to hours of service (HOS) rules to increase safety on America’s roadways by updating exist-ing regulations for commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers. “This proposed rule seeks to enhance safety by giving America’s commercial drivers more flexibility while maintaining the safety limits on driving time,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Elaine L. Chao. “FMCSA wants drivers and all CMV stakeholders to share their thoughts and opinions on the proposed changes to hours of ser-vice rules that we are putting forward today. We listened directly to the concerns of drivers for rules that are safer and have more flexibility—and we have acted. We encourage everyone to review and comment on this proposal,” said FMCSA Administrator Ray-mond P. Martinez. First adopted in 1937, FMCSA’s hours of service rules specify the permitted operating hours of commercial drivers. In 2018, FMCSA authored an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) to receive public comment on portions of the HOS rules to alleviate unnecessary burdens placed on drivers while maintaining safety on our Nation’s highways and roads. In re-sponse, the Agency received more than 5,200 public comments. Based on the detailed public comments, FMCSA’s proposed rule on hours of service offers five key revisions to the existing HOS rules:

• The Agency proposes to increase safety and flexibility for the 30 minute break rule by tying the break requirement to eight hours of driving time without an interruption for at least 30 minutes, and allowing the break to be satisfied by a driver using on duty, not driving status, rather than off duty.

• The Agency proposes to modify the sleeper-berth exception

to allow drivers to split their required 10 hours off duty into two periods: one period of at least seven consecutive hours in the sleeper berth and the other period of not less than two consecutive hours, either off duty or in the sleep-er berth. Neither period would count against the driver’s 14hour driving window.

• The Agency proposes to allow one off-duty break of at least 30 minutes, but not more than three hours, that would pause a truck driver’s 14-hour driving window, provided the driver takes 10 consecutive hours off-duty at the end of the work shift.

• The Agency proposes to modify the adverse driving condi-tions exception by extending by two hours the maximum window during which driving is permitted.

• The Agency proposes a change to the short-haul exception available to certain commercial drivers by lengthening the drivers’ maximum onduty period from 12 to 14 hours and extending the distance limit within which the driver may operate from 100 air miles to 150 air miles.

FMCSA’s proposal is crafted to improve safety on the Nation’s roadways. The proposed rule would not increase driving time and would continue to prevent CMV operators from driving for more than eight consecutive hours without at least a 30-minute change in duty status. In Addition, FMCSA’s proposed rule on hours of service reg-ulations is estimated to provide $274 million in savings for the U.S. economy and American consumers. The trucking industry is a key component to the national economy—employing more than seven million people and moves 70 percent of the nation’s domestic freight. The public comment period will be open for 45 days.

Each year Ohio employers have the opportunity to participate in BWC’s Group-Experience-Rating Program or Group-Retrospec-tive-Rating Program. While these programs are not required, they do provide you with an opportunity to significantly reduce your workers’ compensation premiums, while increasing your aware-ness of safety and risk-management strategies. Workplace safety is an important component of these pro-grams. To succeed in accident prevention, we encourage you to use the many resources available to you. We believe a group-rat-ing program is a partnership that includes you and your employ-ees, your sponsoring organization or third-party administrator (TPA) and BWC. Each has specific roles and responsibilities, all designed to assist in preventing workplace accidents. This letter outlines the safety services expectations you should have as an employer enrolled in a group-rating program. The employer will:

• Maintain a safe workplace;• Attend safety training to enhance workplace safety;• Use BWC’s safety services as needed;• Fulfill the required two-hour training requirement and pro-

vide proof of attendance to sponsor for claim(s)• occurring within the last year.

The certified primary and affiliated sponsoring organizations will:

• Sponsor eight hours of safety training (this may be done at one time or may be provided incrementally as long as the total is at least eight hours);

• Provide information regarding safety resources to group members;

• Possibly assist an employer in achieving its safety needs;• Manage employer fulfillment of the two-hour training re-

GROUP-RATING SAFETY ACCOUNTABILITYquirement, where applicable;

• Publish this letter to group members. The TPA may:

• Assist sponsoring organizations with fulfilling the group-rating safety requirements;

• Assist an employer with its safety needs;• Work in conjunction with sponsors to develop safety train-

ing and deliver safety resources;• Provide resources for claims handling.

BWC will: • Monitor all group-rating safety activities to confirm re-

quirements are met; • Remain in communication with sponsoring organizations

to provide recommendations for fulfilling safety require-ments;

• Provide safety training through Ohio’s Center for Occupa-tional Safety & Health;

• Offer on-site safety consultation (hazard assessments, air and noise monitoring, ergonomics evaluation, training) by a BWC safety professional;

• Offer publications and videos for safety program support;• Conduct employer visits to confirm the employer is meet-

ing group-rating requirements, when appropriate. The goal of this collaborative effort is to make sure all your safety needs are met. Using these resources will assist you in pre-venting accidents, reducing claims costs and achieving the highest discounts possible. Below you’ll find contact information for var-ious resources.

LEGISLATION SIGNED IN MICHIGAN TO SAVE LINE 5Agreement Protects Great Lakes and Propane Industry

Our friends and neighbors to the north from the Michigan Pro-

pane Gas Association (MPGA) informed the Ohio Propane Gas

Association that legislation to replace Line 5 through the Straits of

Mackinac was signed into law. The MPGA worked with Michigan

Governor Rick Snyder on this important effort for the propane

industry. The MPGA and its members were actively engaged on

this issue since it first arose four years ago and believes this is the

best solution by providing strong safety protections in the Great

Lakes while ensuring Michigan residents have access to affordable

and reliable energy.

The OPGA followed this development closely as Line 5 trans-

ports propane that is used by many Ohio propane companies as

well. OPGA Executive Director Derek Dalling noted, “Had Line 5

been shut down or removed from service, the ripple effects would

have been felt in Ohio and throughout the entire Midwest. All of

Michigan’s propane companies would be headed out of state to

bring propane back to Michigan propane consumers.”

Opponents of the existing Line 5 and the proposed new re-

placement segment of the line have consistently stated that the

pipeline is not needed to deliver propane. Obviously, the propane

industry knows that is not the case. There simply are not enough

transports, drivers or rail cars to replace the amount of propane

that travels through Line 5 on a daily basis – especially in Winter.

Dalling added, “Imagine the lines at terminals if hundreds of more

companies from Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Ontario,

Canada were suddenly forced to find new sources of propane in

other areas of the Midwest.”

The legislation itself paves the way for a tunnel to be created

underneath the Straits of Mackinac. The tunnel will then house

a new Line 5 pipeline and the existing Line 5 pipeline will be

removed. The legislation creates a new Michigan state authority

to oversee the tunnel and pipeline, and that new board will be

appointed soon to finalize the construction agreements between

the state of Michigan and Enbridge.

In addition to a big victory for the propane industry, the legis-

lative victory will not cost taxpayers nor the propane industry any

additional costs. Enbridge, the owner of Line 5 pipeline, agreed

to shut down the existing crossing and replace it with something

safer at its own, company expense. As part of the deal, Enbridge

agreed to pay an expected $500 million to construct the tunnel

and new pipeline.

However, the next steps likely include legal challenges as the

constitutionality of the bill was questioned in some circles. Dal-

ling concluded, “This certainly helps maintain at least the status

quo for the foreseeable future. In the meantime, the entire pro-

pane industry can relish the victory at this point.”

OPERC believes one of its core missions is to provide numer-

ous training courses and options for industry personnel to obtain

required training and courses to improve industry safety. By now,

you have probably heard of several different ways PERC, NPGA,

and OPERC are designing course training. But are you still fuzzy

on what they all mean? CETP classes are offered in a variety of ways and locations.

We are striving to offer different ways to train industry personnel

so that entire Ohio propane industry benefits. In 2019, OPERC

plans to offer the following types of courses: Instructor Lead Classroom Training. These classes are 2 to 3

days in length and include Certification Testing. Blended Learning. Industry students do the classroom train-

ing online prior to the review and test date. Then they come to

attend a 1-day instructor lead review and Certification Testing.

Please note: Students must have access to a computer and have

their own email address. Refresher Training. This is for students who have completed

certification process previously and need to complete the 3-year

refresher training. This is a 1-day instructor lead training with

quizzes and attendance certificate. New this year, OPERC will offer a HAZMAT-DOT Refresher

Training. This is being offered for the first time in Ohio this year. It

is being scheduled as a half-day session so that you can split your

workforce attendance. OSHA 90 Day/HAZMAT trainings are still being held, but this

is for new or newly hired employees. Look for the 2019 OPERC Education Courses on the OPGA

website at ohiopropanegas.org/safety-and-training/. Going forward, OPERC plans each year based upon the previous

year. As we review the previous year’s attendance for classes, we then

use that information to determine how we can best fill the needs,

which classes to offer, the type of training, and the frequency.

IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS, FEEL FREE TO CONTACT THE

OPGA OR OPGA EDUCATION COMMITTEE.

We all hear about the always escalating costs of college to-day. We know and/or hear what college costs today. Many of us may be worrying about what costs will be like for our children or grandchildren. We also know that college may not be for every-one. If saving for college is on your mind, before you throw your hands up in the air and send junior out looking for a job, you might consider a few strategies to help you prepare for the cost of higher education. First, take advantage of time. The time value of money is the concept that the money in your pocket today is worth more than that same amount will be worth tomorrow because it has more earning potential. If you put $100 a month toward your child’s college education, after 17 years’ time, you would have saved $20,400. But that same $100 a month would be worth over $32,000 if it had generated a hypothetical 5% annual rate of re-turn. (The rate of return on investments will vary over time, par-ticularly for longer-term investments.) Investments that offer the potential for higher returns also car-ry a higher degree of risk. (Actual results will fluctuate. Past per-formance does not guarantee future results) The bottom line is, the earlier you start, the more time you give your money to grow. Second, don’t panic. Every parent knows the feeling — one minute you’re holding a little miracle in your arms, the next you’re trying to figure out how to pay for braces, piano lessons, and sum-

mer camp. You may feel like saving for college is a pipe dream. But remember, many people get some sort of help in the form of financial aid and scholarships. Although it’s difficult to forecast how much help you may get in aid and scholarships, they can provide a valuable supplement to what you have already saved. Finally, weigh your options. There are a number of federal and state-sponsored, tax-advantaged college savings programs avail-able. Some offer prepaid tuition plans and others offer tax-deferred savings. (The tax implications of education savings programs can vary significantly from state to state, and some plans may pro-vide advantages and benefits exclusively for their residents. Please consult legal or tax professionals for specific information regard-ing your individual situation. Withdrawals from tax-advantaged education savings programs that are not used for education are subject to ordinary income taxes and may be subject to penalties.) Many such plans are state sponsored, so the details will vary from one state to the next. A number of private colleges and universi-ties now also offer prepaid tuition plans for their institutions. It pays to do your homework to find the vehicle that may work best for you. As a parent, you teach your children to dream big and believe in their ability to overcome any obstacle. By investing wisely, you can help tackle the financial obstacles of higher education for them - and smooth the way for them to pursue their dreams.
