Respectfully requesting the Environmental Protection                          
Agency to issue a final National Pollutant Discharge                           
Elimination System permit for Cook Inlet oil and

monitoring and reporting obligations identified in the                         
Agency's draft permit and, consistent with the                                 
philosophy of the Agency's 1996 National Water                                 
Program Agenda, allows the permittees to operate

requirements that are not more rigorous than those                             
requirements of the Cook Inlet National Pollutant                              
Discharge Elimination System permit in place.
