ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 112

[EPA-HQ-OPA-2009-0880; FRL-9184-2]
RIN 2050-AG59

Oil Pollution Prevention; Spill Prevention, Control, and
Countermeasure (SPCC) Rule--Proposed Amendments

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Proposed rule; compliance date amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency)
is proposing to amend the date by which certain facilities must prepare
or amend their Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC)
Plans, and implement those Plans. This action would allow additional
time for those affected in the regulated community to understand the
revisions to the SPCC rule finalized in December 2008 and November
2009. In light of the recent uncertainty surrounding EPA's review of
the final amendments to the December 2008 rule and the delay of that
rule's effective date, the Agency is proposing to provide an additional
year for certain facilities, with a new compliance date of November 10,
2011. Additionally, the Agency is proposing to further delay the
compliance date for facilities with milk containers, associated piping
and appurtenances that are constructed according to the current
applicable 3-A Sanitary Standards, and subject to the current
applicable Grade ``A'' Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO) or a State
dairy regulatory requirement equivalent to the current applicable PMO.
The delay would allow the Agency to take final action on a January 15,
2009 action that proposed to exempt these containers from the SPCC
requirements. The compliance date would be delayed one year from the
effective date of a final rule specifically addressing SPCC
requirements for these milk containers, associated piping and
appurtenances, or as specified by a rule that otherwise establishes a
new compliance date for these facilities. Both the extension and the
delay would provide sufficient time for facilities to undertake the
actions necessary to prepare or amend their SPCC Plans, as well as
implement them. However, EPA is not proposing to extend the compliance
date for drilling, production and workover facilities that are offshore
or that have an offshore component, or for onshore facilities required
to submit Facility Response Plans (FRPs).

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received by August 18,
2010.
