HJR 59                                                                       
SENATE CS FOR 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 engrossed, signed by the               
President and Secretary and returned to the House for consideration.
