CS FOR HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 59(RES) Respectfully                         
requesting the Environmental Protection Agency to issue a final                
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit for Cook                
Inlet oil and gas operations that omits the incremental permittee              
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                
under pollutant discharge monitoring and reporting requirements that           
are not more rigorous than those requirements of the Cook Inlet                
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit in place, was           
read the second time.                                                          
                                                                               
Senator Leman moved and asked unanimous consent for the adoption               
of the Resources Senate Committee Substitute offered on page 2965.             
Without objection, SENATE CS FOR CS FOR HOUSE JOINT                            
RESOLUTION NO. 59(RES) was adopted and read the second time.                   
                                                                               
Senators Salo, Torgerson moved and asked unanimous consent that                
they be shown as cross sponsors on the resolution.  Without                    
objection, it was so ordered.

Senator Halford moved and asked unanimous consent that the                     
resolution be considered engrossed, advanced to third reading and              
placed on final passage.  Senator Ellis objected.                              
                                                                               
The question being: Shall the bill be advanced to third reading?               
The roll was taken with the following result:

Advance from Second to Third Reading?

and so, the resolution failed to advance to third reading.
