To amend the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 to clarify propane storage as an eligible use for funds provided under the storage facility loan program, and for other purposes.

HR 1290 amends the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 to explicitly allow agricultural producers to use storage facility loan program funds for constructing or upgrading propane storage facilities. This change directly affects farmers and agricultural businesses that use propane primarily for farming operations, as defined by federal regulations. The bill adds a specific eligibility category to the existing loan program, clarifying that propane storage for agricultural production qualifies under the same terms as other eligible uses. This policy change updates the program’s scope without altering funding levels or creating new requirements.
