Gentlemen,

This is to request that you DO NOT adopt the proposed regulations
or that you delay the adoption of the new regulations for the on
road diesel vehicles.  The costs associated with this regulation
are simply too much for our busines to absorb or to pass on to our
customers.  Furthermore, we are no longer able to obtain financing
for retro-fitting existing vehicles or to purchase new vehicles to
meet the new criteria.  More simply, the proposed regulations will
bankrupt our company.  This round of regulations should be directed
at the truck manufacturers for new vehicles and not the existing
fleets of private industry. You are directing what amounts to
punitive legislation towards private enterprise that simply cannot
take on anymore financial burdens in this economy.

Respectfully Submeitted,

Tim Duddie, Vice President
Tri-County Drilling Inc
