Carey,
Thanks very much for including us in the data gathering phase and
providing
this good summary of the issue.  We stongly support rulemaking that
considers the uniqueness of offshore oil and gas activities and analyzes
the
true impacts.  I agree with your approach to have a conference call to
set
things in motion and identify the right people and to be followed by a
meeting later.

I am available next week April 3 (pm), April 4 (am), April 5 (all day)
for a
conference call.

> As you may already know, EPA has postponed decision-making regarding
> cooling water intake structures for offshore and coastal oil and gas
> extraction facilities:
>
>      "In response to these industry comments, EPA will propose and
take
> final action on regulations for new offshore and coastal oil and gas
> facilities, as defined at 40 CFR 435.10 and 40 CFR 435.40, in the
Phase
> III section 316(b) rule. EPA is deferring regulation of these
facilities
> due to the unique  engineering, cost, and economic issues associated
> with offshore and coastal drilling rigs, ships, and platforms." (66 FR
> 65311).
>
> EPA is required under a court-order to issue a Phase III proposal by
> June 15, 2003 with final action by December 15, 2004. Phase III will
> examine potential regulatory controls on new and existing oil and gas
> extraction facilities that employ a cooling water intake structure as
> well as other existing manufacturing facilities (but not existing
power
> plants which are covered in Phase II).
>
> A summary of EPA's current analysis of offshore and coastal oil and
gas
> extraction facilities cooling water intake structures can be found in
> the Technical Development Document for the Phase I rule
> (EPA-821-R-01-036;
> ÃÃwww.epa.gov/waterscience/316b/technical/technicaldd.htmlÄÄ) at Chapter
6.
> I've attached this chapter to this e-mail message.

> (See attached file: ch6.pdf)
>
> The Phase III proposal date (June 15, 2003) is a long time away.
> However, proceeding that date is a three month Federal Agency review
and
> an equally long internal Agency review. Now is a good time to start
> discussing the level of detail and types of information the Agency
will
> need in order make a decision for offshore and coastal oil and gas
> extraction facilities. EPA will need this additional information as a
> basis for determining the level of controls necessary (if any) for
these
> cooling water intake structures. Please note, the Agency has made no
> decisions about whether any controls are necessary for this segment of
> the industry. The information that the Agency has already analyzed is
a
> good first effort. However, a more detailed investigation is warranted
> in order to support a final Agency action.
>
> One suggestion is to modify an existing EPA survey we sent out to
> existing manufacturing facilities and tailor it towards offshore and
> coastal oil and gas extraction facilities (see
> ÃÃhttp://www.epa.gov/ost/316b/question/manufacture.pdfÄÄ  - also
attached).
> The modified survey could be sent to the top dozen or so drilling
> contractors which own the vast majority of the fixed and mobile
coastal
> and offshore facilities.
>
> (See attached file: manufacture.pdf)
>
> I am suggesting that we could either meet in person or over
> teleconference (or both). One possibility is to have a teleconference
> with a follow-up small technical meeting in Houston, TX or Washington,
> DC. Please let me know if you have any other ideas on how to jump
start
> this process. Thank you and I look forward to speaking with you soon.
