DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - As a longtime farmer, Iowa Sen. Charles Grassley said he quickly saw the folly of new propane regulations proposed by the Department of Homeland Security.
The proposal would list propane as a chemical of interest when kept in quantities greater than 7,500 pounds, forcing a costly risk assessment.
Propane "is used by virtually every farmer to dry their grain or heat their house ...," Grassley said. "Hopefully they just don't understand how the new regulations would affect every farmer or even non farmer."
