Frank Pallone: “Then it goes on to take another category, 1 mile and 150 is OK, and for a third category if you are under 10,000 it is…”

Then it goes on to take another category, 1 mile and 150 is OK, and for a third category if you are under 10,000 it is OK. For another category for Puerto Rico we are going to do the study. You know you may make the case, we will have to see, that your exception makes sense. You may be able to do that to the EPA, but why do we have to gut the entire bill and make all those other exceptions? It makes no sense to carry one San Diego case that is now going through proper channels. This says they get the waiver; they do not need to go through the process in the previous bill, and now we have all these other exemptions.
