Help Us Get Our Ex-Members Back: The following names are those people who, for one reason or another are no longer ASPE members. Honestly, when Jill Moretti compiled the list of people within the last ten years or so that are no longer ASPE members, I was really surprised how extensive a list it was. Truth be told, it is sad that we have lost this many members in such a small time frame. We would like to have all these people re-join the chapter. Please peruse the list and look at how many names you recognize. Because they are not receiving this newsletter anymore, they won’t see their names unless you show them. If you work with any of these individuals, please ask them to rejoin ASPE. If you know their email address, please send them a quick note. We are including a membership application in this newsletter. Please hand it to someone on this list and ask them to rejoin. Feel free to sign your name as their sponsor at the bottom of the application. I could use your help. Alba P.E., Dorian Atkins, Julius Auerbach, David Basile, Steven R. Bernheart, James L.

Legislative Report It was great seeing and reconnecting with so many of you last month at the summer social at the Boston Winery. It is hard to believe that July is almost over, summer is flying by and I am eagerly looking forward to see you all in September. In regards to legislative news, the plumbing board website has posted a notice for two public hearings pertaining to the proposed amendments to 248 CMR 4.00 (Massachusetts Fuel Gas Code), 248 CMR 5.00 (NFPA 54 Amendments), 248 CMR 7.00 (Large Gas Utilization Equipment) and 8.00 (NFPA 58 Amendments), collectively known as the Massachusetts State Fuel Gas Code. Interested parties are giving the opportunity to present oral testimony at the hearings or to write-in comments to the Plumbing Board. In summary, Massachusetts is in the process of adopting the 2012 edition of NFPA 54 and the 2011 edition of NFPA 58; the current editions being the NFPA2002 and NFPA 58-2001 editions. A copy of the notice and proposed amendments can be found at the Boards website at the following location. http://www.mass.gov/ocabr/docs/dpl/boards/pl/notice-public-hearing-pl-gasfitting-regs.pdf . The accepted amendments will be reviewed in an upcoming legislative report. As always, I would like to encourage all members to feel free contact me either by phone or email regarding the article or any other legislative matters.
