SPCC Compliance Deadline for Farmers

Harvest Land — Tue, 07 May 2013 13:59:28 +0000

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY – The deadline for farmers to comply with federal SPCC requirements is May 10, 2013. However, Congress recently passed legislation prohibiting the EPA from enforcing the SPCC requirements as it applies to farmers during the current fiscal year that ends on September 30, 2013. As a result, farmers are still required to comply with SPCC by May 10, but will not be cited by the EPA for noncompliance during the enforcement prohibition period.
