CFCA would like to thank all of its exhibitors, attendees, and sponsors for making PFCS 2019 a massive success.
PFCS 2019 saw record numbers in attendance and the debut of our first-ever Casino Night, which saw a huge turnout. Fan-favorite events like our annual Bowling Night and Tankers & Tacos returned, showing that PFCS continues to get better every year.
Companies from across the industry came out to exhibit the latest in fuels and convenience technology, from fuel pumps, to storage tanks.
Sunny San Diego proved to be a wonderful new home for PFCS and we couldn't be more glad that, overwhelmingly, our amazing attendees seemed to agree. 2019 saw a huge amount of change to make this year's PFCS the best one yet, and 2020 has even more to come.
We cannot wait to see you again next year, and show you all of the amazing things we already have in store.

CFCA, alongside law enforcement agency partners and WEX inc., hosted its first skimming prevention seminar in Sacramento, Wednesday.
Retailers and law enforcement came together to hear about the latest in skimming prevention best practices and how they can stay one step ahead of skimmers. Experts gave their insights on how skimmers are continuing to advance and what exactly stores can do to minimize their risk of being targeted by criminals. Attendees even heard from a former skimmer to learn exactly how they can protect themselves, straight from the source.
The turnout was extrmemly promising, as CFCA moves forward to take every action we can to protect our stores as the upcoming EMV liability shift deadline looms in October of 2020. CFCA will continue to provide educational opportunities like this to its members, and highly encourges everyone in the industry to attend whenever they can. This is information you cannot get anywhere else and is vital in keeping you, and your customers, safe.

At this year's California Unified Program Agencies (CUPA) conference, CUPA and PG&E announced the formation of the Industry Technical Advisory Group (iTAG). CFCA has joined the iTAG, as well as the UST Subcommittee. This group was formed to provide industry input in order to streamline and clarify problems with CUPA.
The Industry Technical Advisory Group (iTAG) is scheduling a meeting with Laura Fisher of SWRCB to discuss the following issues:
- UST - Lack of violation closure in CERS
- Inconsistent CUPA requirements for when a permit is needed for overfill prevention systems or other UST component repair/replacements
- Specificity requirements for CERS data (e.g. TLS-350 plus model requires "+")
Additionally, we are hoping to discuss the B20 rulemaking, especially the certification of components and fittings. If you have an issue you would like CFCA to address, please contact Sam Bayless (bayless@cfca.energy).

Do you own, operate, or dispatch heavy-duty diesel trucks in or to California? Then you need to know that the California Air Resources Board (CARB) enforces a set of air pollution regulations affecting all types of heavy-duty diesel vehicles operating in the State. If your vehicles are NOT already compliant, you need to know what to do to be compliant for 2019. And if your vehicles ARE compliant, you still may need to report to remain compliant. This course gives you the information you need about how to comply with CARB diesel regulations and how to report to continue operating legally in 2019 and beyond.

Boyett Petroleum today said that it was rebranding some sites to the 76 brand.
Boyett is rebranding 10 of its Cruisers, Cruise In, Cruise Out stations to 76 during the fourth quarter. All 10 of the stations being rebranded to 76 are in the Modesto, Calif., metropolitan area. The newly rebranded stations will retain the Cruisers look and branding for the convenience store while the pumps and canopies will be 76.
The rebranding of the Cruisers stations is a departure from the previous unbranded position Boyett Petroleum has held.
"Rebranding 76 at our company-owned and operated Cruisers locations is a major departure from our unbranded legacy, yet I'm convinced that looking back we will see it is the right decision at the right time," Boyett Petroleum President Dale Boyett said.
The rebranding efforts should help market share for 76 in Modesto. According to the OPIS MarketSharePro, the 76 brand has a 10.5% market share, trailing just Chevron in Modesto. The average gross rack-to-retail margin, according to OPIS data, in Modesto currently stands at 31.9cts/gal. During 2019, the gross margin in Modesto has trailed the California state average. However, 76 margins are amongst the highest in the region, OPIS data shows.
In addition to company owned and operated Cruisers stations, Boyett Petroleum has a management interest in nearly 40 stations, and Boyett supplies roughly500 stations. In addition to 76, the company supplies Valero, Beacon and Arco sites.

In a move President Trump said will reduce car prices but will also anger environmental groups, the administration is revoking California's authority to set strict fuel economy standards.
Trump announced the move Wednesday, saying the decision was made "in order to produce far less expensive cars for the consumer," while making cars safer at the same time.

With California enmeshed in a bare-knuckled battle over clean air with the Trump administration, carmakers could soon have to sign onto the state's pact to cut air pollution if they want to offer customers the state's EV rebate.
California is considering a plan that would reward automakers that have signed onto a pact with the state to cut pollution - and punish those that haven't - by restricting which companies are eligible for millions of dollars in government rebates when consumers buy clean cars.
The plan is still in formation and has not been formally announced. But there are signs it's emerging as California's next salvo in an ongoing feud with the Trump administration over greenhouse gas and fuel efficiency standards.

Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday announced an executive order to curb youth vaping - making California the third state to take executive action in the past two weeks to address what federal health officials are calling a growing epidemic among teens.
The order, aimed at both nicotine and cannabis vaping products, calls on the California Department of Public Health to develop recommendations to increase enforcement efforts against the sale of illicit and counterfeit vaping products and the sale of any vaping products to youth under 21, and to establish standards for warning signs and labels in retail stores and on e-cigarette packaging. The agency is to submit its recommendations to the governor's office by Oct. 14.

The oil industry is trying to crush the booming electric car movement.
Groups backed by industry giants like Exxon Mobil and the Koch empire are waging a state-by-state, multimillion-dollar battle to squelch utilities' plans to build charging stations across the country. Environmentalists call the fight a reprise of the "Who Killed the Electric Car?" battles that doomed an earlier generation of battery-driven vehicles in the 1990s.
Oil-backed groups have challenged electric companies' plans in 10 states, according to utility commission filings reviewed by POLITICO, waging regulatory and lobbying campaigns against the proposals. The showdown is taking place as utilities, eager to increase the demand for power, push for approval to build charging networks in locations such as shopping centers and rest stops in more than half the nation.
