Due to a full agenda at their regular monthly meeting
earlier this month, the Board of Fire Prevention
Regulations (BFPR) decided to address several
possible
modifications to 527 CMR 4.00 at their August
meeting. (No BFPR meeting will be held in July.) The
527 CMR 4.00 Subcommittee, which is chaired by
MOC's Michael Ferrante and includes two other
industry representatives - David Bessette (Arlex Oil &
NAOHSM) and Michael Markarian (NEFI) - has asked
the BFPR to amend the code to either strengthen or
clarify language on removal of fill and vent piping, the
slope of indoor tanks, disposal of flue gases,
chimney connectors, and clearances from
combustibles.

Oilheat companies in Massachusetts will benefit from
proposed changes to 527 CMR 8.00 - the
Transportation of Flammable Liquids code. The
BFPR will most likely adopt changes recommended
recently by the CMR 8.00 Subcommittee that deal with
a number of clarifications surrounding local permits
and licensing for the storage of flammable and
combustible liquids in cargo tanks. MOC was involved
in the discussions with the Subcommittee.

In an ongoing effort to strengthen the industry's voice,
MOC is
always looking to grow its membership and spread
the word about all the Council's accomplishments.
MOC's Zahra Massicotte will be reaching out to the
Board and MOC members for help in this effort. If
you have any suggestions or a name of a company
you think may be interested in joining, please email
Zahra@massoilheat.org.

two months away. Join us on August 20th at the

ok, we'll be sure to pair you with other friendly golfers.
