Title: Revisions to the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Rule 
Abstract: On December 5, 2008, EPA finalized several amendments to the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rule in order to provide increased clarity, to tailor requirements to particular industry sectors, and to streamline certain requirements for those facility owners or operators subject to the rule. On February 3, 2009, EPA delayed the effective date for 60 days of the final rule and sought public comment on the extension of the effective date and its duration, and on the regulatory amendments contained in the final rule. EPA is further delaying the effective date in order to provide time to address concerns raised during the latest public comment period.
