On November
10, 2005, Mr. Bode addressed the Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel Implementation
Workshop in Phoenix, Arizona. Speaking on behalf of the Independent
Liquid Terminals Association to over 500 attendees from all segments
of the petroleum industry, Mr. Bode identified the challenges and
legal issues confronting the industry as it attempts to meet the
stringent new Ultra-low sulfur diesel requirements next year. Mr.
Bode reviewed the EPA's enforcement regime and guidelines, and
presented various scenarios that are likely to generate disputes.
Mr. Bode advised the stake-holders in the process - refiners, pipelines,
terminal operators, marketers, and trucking companies - to identify
in advance the likely areas of dispute and to develop written protocols to resolve them. The ULSD Workshop was hosted by the American
Petroleum Industry, the American Trucking Association, the Environmental
Protection Agency, and over eleven other petroleum associations. |
