January 09, 2003
Today EPA published in the Federal Register an Interim Final Rule that extends, effective today, January 9, 2003, for sixty days, the dates for a facility to amend and implement its Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan. EPA is issuing this extension in order to avoid a flood of individual extension requests and to allow for adequate consideration of comments EPA expects to receive on a proposed one-year extension of the dates published also included in today’s Federal Register.

AAAE, ACI-NA, NATA and ATA are working together in working with EPA on addressing issues associated with these notices and regulations.
