I wish to support the extension of the SPCC implementation date. We have done over 50 SPCC plans. To implement by October 2007 will force many companies to implement temporary measures that do not fit into a long range plan. Eg, one compamy plans to reduce the amount of storage and build a first class secondary containment. However, if the 2007 date is adhered to, they will need to improve their secondary containment with features that will soon be torn down and disregarded. Some of our clients serve a rural facilities and do so as a service, with little or no profit. These companies need to close several of their facilities, but need to construct centralized facilities to maintain the service. This takes time to plan and implement. Again, I support the extension.
