data.

In addition, the question was asked if any cement kilns had CO2
monitors.  No one was aware of any.

EPA also mentioned that the Sector Based Assessment Group was preparing

the Science Advisory Board.  The purpose was only to get SAB inputs on
methodology, and it was not intended to be an actual assessment of risk
for the cement industry.
