Today's hearing is focused on the impact that closures of petroleum refineries serving in the Northeast could have on prices at the pump in the Mid-Atlantic and New England regions. Since September 2011, two refineries in the Philadelphia area, and one, I should say, a major Caribbean export refinery supplying the East Coast, have in fact closed. Additionally, a third Philadelphia area refinery is slated to shut down this summer. In addition to the immediate impact on gas prices, we will explore at this hearing the long run cost to the economy associated with higher gasoline prices, as well as the actions that can be taken to encourage the adoption of cleaner, cheaper alternatives to petroleum, such as natural gas.

The United States Government Printing Office (GPO) was created in June 1860, and is an agency of the U.S. federal government based in Washington D.C. The office prints documents produced by and for the federal government, including Congress, the Supreme Court, the Executive Office of the President and other executive departments, and independent agencies. A hearing is a meeting of the Senate, House, joint or certain Government committee that is open to the public so that they can listen in on the opinions of the legislation. Hearings can also be held to explore certain topics or a current issue. It typically takes between two months up to two years to be published. This is one of those hearings.

Reduction in refining activity in the Northeast, as reflected in recently announced plans to idle over 50% of the regional refining capacity, is likely to impact supplies of petroleum products. The transition period as supply sources shift could be problematic for Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD), gasoline, and jet fuel supplies. Prolonged uncertainty over the coming months with regard to the disposition and operation of important logistical assets such as pipelines, ports and storage would compound adjustment challenges. Reduced short-term product supply flexibility due to longer delivery times and potential transportation bottlenecks for sources outside the region could also increase price volatility. This book explores potential developments of Northeast refinery reductions with a focus on alternative supply options; available pipeline capacity, implications for regional transportation fuels markets, heating oil supply and prices in the Northeast, and fuel security for the military.
