Does anyone have an idea when we can expect a final rule on the SPCC compliance dates? This is what's on EPA's website:

"The effective date of the SPCC amendments promulgated December 5, 2008, has been delayed to January 14, 2010. The Agency is working on a final rule to extend the July 1, 2009, compliance date to provide facilities sufficient time to determine their compliance obligations under any rule amendments that become effective in 2010. The final rule for the new compliance dates is under review and is expected to be published in the Federal Register prior to the current July 1, 2009, compliance date."

The current compliance date is less than a month away - it would be nice to know whether we should be diligent about updating our plans.

cherman,

Since the effective date has been moved to January 14, 2010, I would use that as your first drop dead date.

So we now know that the SPCC compliance date is November 10, 2010. However, we don't know if EPA is going to make any changes to the December 2008 amendments that will take effect on January 14, 2010. Anyone have any idea if they would take away the Tier 1 qualified facility self certification template option (Appendix G)?
