Let me explain to Senator Abetz what is relatively clear to me through addressing these matters on a case-by-case basis. The bill contemplates that there may indeed be concurrent responsibilities where you may have more than one party responsible to one extent or another. The test of that would then be what was reasonable and/or practicable with respect to the level of management or control associated with the particular party.
