Re: 2019/2020 Attorney General Report to the Legislature Under the Petroleum Market Share Act

Greetings, President Jackson, Speaker Fecteau, Senator Lawrence, and Representative Berry:

I am pleased to submit this report in accordance with the Petroleum Market Share Act ("PMSA"), 10 M.R.S. § 1677. The PMSA requires the Attorney General to make a report to the Legislature describing the concentration of retail outlets in the State, including a recommendation as to whether additional legislation is needed to further limit or curtail the activity of refiners operating retail outlets.

Enclosed is a report describing concentration of retail outlets in the State. The report, which is based on data collected from wholesalers of both motor fuel oil and home heating oil, includes maps depicting relative concentration in designated markets throughout the State. This report is also available on the Attorney General's website at: https://www.maine.gov/ag/docs/Bi• annual%20PMSA %20Report%202019-20.pdf.

Since no refiners of petroleum products operate retail outlets in this State, we recommend no legislation to limit or curtail such operations.

I appreciate this opportunity to provide this information and hope it is useful.

Sincerely,

S/Aaron M. Frey Attorney General ______Wednesday, June 2, 2021 Page 86
