APERC 2006 REGULATOR REBATE PROGRAM
$50,000.00 Available for Rebate

The Arkansas Propane Education and Research Council, Inc. in cooperation with the national Propane Education and Research Council has instituted a program whereby with the replacement of a regulator more than 15 years old (the manufacturer's suggested maximum lifespan) the LP dealer may receive as a rebate the sum of $30.00 per replaced regulator.

  Regulator Rebate Form

In order to make the program equitable to all, (both large and small, both independent and major marketer) rules were adopted. They are as follows:

1. The sum of 50,000.00 is set aside for the 2006 year of this program. Additional funds will be added by vote of the APERC Board of Directors and as are available from year to year.
   
2. The old regulator replaced must be:
  A. For an existing residential customer and used in a residential application. Not for a new customer or a new or replacement tank set.
  B.

15 years old or older and in service at the time of replacement.

  C.

A single stage regulator in a single stage regulator system regardless of age.

     
3. The replacement regulator must be:
  A.

A new and never previously used LPG regulator, either a 2nd stage in a two stage system (containing both first and second stage regulators) or a twin stage in a single regulator system.

  B. Installed by a duly and currently licensed LPG installer, not the customer.
  C. Purchased and installed by the LP dealer at the dealer's expense.
     
4. The LP dealer will provide the following information on forms prescribed by APERC that will contain the following information:
  A. The brand of the replaced (old) regulator and the model number.
  B. The date code of the replaced (old) regulator
  C. The name, address and telephone number of the customer for whom the regulator was replaced. (for spot verification purposes)
  D. A copy of the Arkansas Form LPG 61 (Installation Report) properly filled out and signed by the customer and the installer when the replacement was performed.
  E. The name and LPG number of the installer.
  F. The name, address and telephone number of the LP dealer under whom the installer works and who is requesting the rebate.
  G. A statement from the requesting dealer that all requirements of the regulator rebate program and all rules were met and complied with.
     
5. The program will begin January 1, 2006 and any replacement request or LPG  installation report dated prior to that date will not be considered and will be  denied as not timely pursuant to the rules and no rebate will be made.  
   
6.

The replacement program is limited to one rebate per existing customer regardless  of how many regulators are replaced at that one customer's location during the  first rebate period of between January 1 and June 30 of each year.

   
7.

Each Class One dealer in the State of Arkansas may apply for ten (10) regulator  rebates between January 1 and June 30 of each year.   Beginning July 1, each  Class One dealer may apply as many times as he or she desires.  In all cases,  when the total of the allotted rebate fund for that year is exhausted, all rebates  thereafter will be denied for lack of funds.  There will be no request carry over  from year to year.  Funds not paid out as rebates will be carried over and added to  the next year's total. The program for each year will end when all funds are  exhausted and  the earlier request will be paid first.

   
8. Requests for rebates will be made on forms prescribed by APERC and will be  accompanied by all required documentation and if an application is incomplete  for any reason, same will not be considered and will be denied with no notice to  the requesting dealer.  
   
9. Replaced regulators will NOT be sent to APERC or to the Arkansas Propane Gas  Association but will be disposed of properly by the LP dealer. 
   
10. All requests for rebate will be mailed to:
 

Arkansas Propane Gas Association
Post Office Box 10
Lincoln, Arkansas 72744

   

Fax requests shall not be made and will be denied.
