SPFA News and Announcements
Since the start of 2022, SPFA has received many questions regarding the status of SprayFoam 2022 Convention and Expo in regard to the recent Omicron outbreak. As of this writing, we are planning to move forward with the in-person event, following all venue, city and state requirements. Prior to opening registration, SPFA posted the SPFA Duty of Care Notice on the attendee registration page, which defines SPFA policies and procedures during the event. This week we’ve added an update section at the top of the SprayFoam 2022 webpage.  Any changes to the event will be immediately posted here, so please check this page regularly. This update section also includes a link to the San Antonio Convention Center. On the top of the page, the latest COVID safeguards issued by the convention center and City of San Antonio are provided.

 If you have additional questions about the status of the show, please email Rick Duncan.

SPFA Job Board
SPFA is doing its part to bring awareness of open positions in the industry to our members, partners, and untapped talent pools. For every one of these positions going unfilled it’s an opportunity missed, an extra staffing challenge drawing attention away from other important priorities, or a customer perhaps needing to wait longer than they should have to.

ECP - PolyPier
Federal/State Government News

Presently nine states have restrictions in place on the use of hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) blowing agents used in high-pressure closed-cell spray polyurethane foam (ccSPF). These states include WA, CA, CO, NY, VT, MA, NJ, MD and DE. Starting January 1, 2022, two more states, ME and VA, will be added to this list. Five other states, OR, NV, TX, CT and RI are developing similar regulations that could be in place by 2023. However, it is possible that these states may defer to federal action on HFCs. EPA recently approved several petitions under the AIM Act. This approval indicates EPA is planning to implement a national framework to phase-down HFCs.

The American Chemistry Council’s Center for the Polyurethanes Industry website maintains an interactive map that summarizes state-specific requirements. The map may be found here. SPFA recommends that all SPF contractors doing business in these states work with their suppliers to determine the specific details regarding the transportation, storage, sales and reporting requirements for each state.
