Inside Washington: Legislation, Regulation and Angst of Petroleum Retailing 
Petroleum Track
Wednesday, October 21 | 9:15 AM to 10:15 AM    Location: N262/N264 

The Obama Administration and the US Congress have many changes in mind for the petroleum industry. Gasoline and diesel retailers and jobber/distributors will get the latest insights on the new national petroleum agenda and what it means to their business. Experts with NACS, PMAA and OPIS plan to cover a number of retailer liability, commodity futures reform, refined product reserve, rest stop commercialization, anti-gouging, wet lines, ATC, LUST regulatory review and gas tax hikes.

What You Will Learn

  • Federal and state action you can take to accelerate these issues
  • NACS/PMAA positions on the issues
  • What carbon cap and trade will mean for your fuel and electricity bills as well as consumer demand
  • How new federal ethanol and biodiesel mandates will impact your bottom line and whether 15% ethanol will become commonplace.
  • A complete run-down of new federal environmental initiatives and what they mean for your fuel retail offer and your liability exposure.
  • Successful strategies for defending against charges of “price gouging.”
