Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands – 30 May – OfReg, the utilities regulator, has announced that the application process for persons seeking to obtain an Operating Permit for sites/locations or vehicles which handle dangerous substances in aggregate quantities of 250 imperials gallons or more is now available on OfReg’s Website under the Petroleum Inspectorate Portal.

The Permit is required under the Dangerous Substances Handling and Storage Law, 2003, Section 4 of which sets out (requires) that the owner or operator of a premise or a vehicle involved to which the law relates, shall not operate without a valid operating permit. The Law further states that an application must be made within three months of the commencement of the Law. The Law and its Regulations were published on March 15, 2017.

“In an effort to improve our efficiency, we have made the application process web-based which requires applicants to fill the forms and return same to the Office either electronically, by post or by hand, accompanied with the requisite fees,” said Duke Munroe, Director & Chief Inspector, Fuels Market. “The OfReg Fuels Technical Review Team will then review the submission, which may include an inspection of the site or vehicle. The application will then be forwarded for consideration by the Board. Permits will also be issued electronically, but must be printed and displayed at the regulated premises or in the permitted vehicles.”

Applicants can access the link at www.ofreg.ky under the Petroleum Inspectorate portal. Applications must be completed and submitted by 15 June 2017 to allow for timely processing.

Munroe encouraged members of the fuel sector as well as the general public to review the Law, its Amendments and Regulations, and contact OfReg on 946.4282 or [email protected] for more information.
