Government Affairs Brief

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.

ILTA is extremely pleased to announce that the US Environmental Protection Agency today finalized its new rule expanding the use of in-service tank inspections. The final rule, published in the January 19 Federal Register and in effect immediately, allows operators of tanks regulated under the New Source Performance Standards of Subpart Kb to use the in-service inspection requirements of Subpart WW to conduct periodic inspections of internal floating roof rim seals.
