Government Affairs Brief

The International Liquid Terminals Association has long been an advocacy force for the bulk liquid storage industry in Washington, DC. The association is the only in Washington specifically representing the interests of the liquid terminal industry in Congress and at regulatory agencies. ILTA seeks to promote policies that will benefit the industry and promote safe and efficient operations.  

President Biden issued a series of executive orders within hours of taking the oath of office to reverse many of Trump’s orders, including a host related to climate, the environment and energy. 

Long-time ILTA collaborator and fan favorite Walter Nusbaum served as a guest speaker for January’s terminal membership call. The topic of this call was how to reach full productivity potential, both in work and in life.

In this new year, it’s more important than ever to make sure your data is up to date in our membership system.  For company administrators, the data you enter will appear in our online directory, and it will serve as the basis of our yearly print directory.  

ILTA hosted its first ever January Environment, Health and Safety, and Security subcommittee meetings last week virtually. The four-day event consisted 1.5- to two-hour covering a wide range of issues, including Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance reporting, US Environmental Protection Agency’s final kb tank rule (issued earlier this week), expected Occupational Health and Safety Administration regulatory changes under the coming Biden administration and more.
