PUBLIC COMMENT ON FEDERAL REGISTER OF 7/18/07 VOL 72 #137 OIL PRODUCING FACILITIES AND THE OIL SPILLS THAT GO ON EVERY SINGLE DAY. FIRST OF ALL ALL SPILLS OVER 20,000 GALLONS SHOULD BE REPORTABLE AND REPORTED WITHIN 2 HOURS. AND WITHIN 2 HOURS THE MOP UP SHOULD BEGIN. SECONDLY, EVERY SINGLE OIL SPILL NEEDS TO BE PUT IN THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER SO THAT THE PEOPLE CAN TELL WHAT IS GOING ON. THERE NEEDS TO BE A PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT OF THIS OIL SPILL FOR THE PEOPLE LIVING NEAR IT. IT IS CLEAR THAT THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF OIL SPILLS THAT ARE HAPPENING IN THIS COUNTRY ARE BEYOND BELIEF NEGLIGENT. THE OIL GUYS ARE IN CONTROL IN WASHINGTON AND THEY ARE POLLUTING THIS COUNTRY BEYOOND BELIEF. IT IS TIME TO STOP THIS POLLUTION AND THE CARELESS AND NEGLIGENT WAY THAT OUR COUINTRY IS TREATED. WE CANNOT ALLOW THIS ENDLESS POLLUTION TO CONTINUE. WE NEED HIGHER FINES FOR THOSE POLLUTERS INSTEAD OF A SLAP ON THE WRIST. IT IS TIME FOR THE ADMNISTRATION TO GET TOUGH ON OIL PROFITEERS, WHO RETIRE WITH $400 MILLION DOLLAR PENSIONS WHILE PUTTING THE REST OF AMERICA THROUGH HELL. B. SACHAU 15 ELM ST FLORHAM PARK NJ07932
