Note to file regarding George Holiday’s comments on the

December SPCC rule extension

Written by Mark W. Howard, March 29, 2007

Mr. George Holiday called the day he submitted his comment January 18,
2006 to indicate that his comments did not go thru and he was having
problems with the docket system.  He indicated on the phone message that
he did not think an extension was necessary. Due to the fact that I was
unable to retrieve message from my voicemail system and my
hospitalization I did not respond to his call until February 7, 2007.  I
left him a message asking him to call about his comment. He never
responded to my phone call.

While finishing up the response to comment document on March 29 2007, I
decided to try calling him one more time.  He answered. I explained who
I was and told him that I had called him about his difficulty with the
docket system but he never returned my call.  He asked which rule I was
speaking of because he “comments on everything”.  I told him the
SPCC rule extension of December 2006.  I hold him that his comments did
not appear to go thru system correctly.  I asked him what was the point
of his comments.  He simply said that “an extension should not be
granted and the Agency should just rewrite the entire rule”.  He had
no other comments to offer.

His comment information is listed as follows:
