American Petroleum Institute's comments on Oil Pollution Prevention; Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Rule - Proposed Amendements (75 FR 45572, August 3, 2010).

Abstract

On November 13, 2009, EPA amended the Spill Prevention Control, and Countermeasures (SPCC) rule. The amendments completed the SPCC action proposed on October 15, 2007 (72 FR 58378), finalized on December 5, 2008 (73 FR 74236), and for which the Agency considered public comments again in February 2009 (74 FR 5900, February 3, 2009). However, EPA recognizes that because of the changes in this action, and specifically provisions that have been removed from the December 2008 Amendments, facilities may need additional time to comply with the SPCC amendments. Because of the uncertainty surrounding the final amendments to the December 5, 2008 rule and the delay of the effective date, the Agency will propose to extend the compliance date.
