On March 21 President Obama signed into law a bill that extends waivers of the federal hours-of-service (HOS) regulations to help ease the nationwide shortage of propane and home heating fuels caused by distribution problems and high winter demands. The “Home Heating Emergency Assistance through Transportation” or “HHEATT” Act (H.R.4076) provides guaranteed extensions of HOS waivers issued after February 5, 2014 until May 31, 2014 for 35 states and the District of Columbia. The DOT, in consultation with state Governors, may terminate the guaranteed extensions prior to May 31 but only if current emergencies subside.
