THE Department of Energy said Thursday it would continue to accept and process applications for the issuance of permits to qualified LPG participants.
Under the LPG Industry Regulation Act, LPG industry stakeholders have until July 7 to convert their Standards Compliance Certificate to License to Operate . If they fail to operate without the LTO starting July 8, then their operations are deemed illegal.
Earlier, the Federation of Affordable Independent Refillers and Resellers of LPG asked the DOE to extend the July 7 deadline.FAIRR-LPG President Felipe Galang said if there is no extension, then this will result in an LPG shortage not for lack of supply but simply because no one will attempt to sell without a license.
According to the group, 90 percent of the existing LPG sellers in the country are non-compliant for various reasons such as the voluminous requirements prior to the release of the LTO. For LPG refilling plant owners and dealers, Galang said they are required to produce at least 32 and 33 documents, respectively. FAIRR-LPG asked the DOE to trim the number of requirements, saying some of these are redundant while others are unnecessary and impractical.
