Mr. Grever,


As we discussed earlier today, we are unable to tell at this time how
long it will take us to review comments or take further action on the
rulemaking entitled "Prevention of Significant Deterioration,
Nonattainment New Source Review, and Title V: Treatment of Corn Milling
Facilities Under the 'Major Emitting Facility' Definition (Docket
HQ-OAR-2006-0089).  If you would like to submit comments or make
recommendations as to what a final rule should state, e.g., with respect
to SIP's, please do so before expiration of the public comment period
today.


Instructions for submitting comments:
You can submit comments via the docket system or you can send an e-mail
message (or an e-mail message with an attached electronic file) to the
docket address of  "a-and-r-docket@epa.gov"  If you send an e-mail
message, please include the docket # (Docket HQ-OAR-2006-0089) in the
subject line of the heading.  This will ensure that your comments are
submitted into the correct rulemaking docket.  Please copy me
(swanson.joanna@epa.gov) on the e-mail that you send and I will check to
ensure your comments have been included.  (NOTE:  Although many
electronic file formats are acceptable, you may want to check
"regulations.gov" to determine which electronic file formats are
acceptable.)


If you have problems accessing the docket for this proposed rule, you
may want to contact the support team members for regulations.gov.  They
can be reached at 1-877-ERUL HLP (1-877-378-5457).  Calls are answered

(after I sent this e-mail below I found that the proposed rule was
published on March 9.  Ignore the first question!  Thank you.)



Ms. Swanson,



I'm trying to get an idea of the possible timeline for implementation of
the February 28, 2006 proposed rule regarding corn milling facility
treatment under PSD and Title V.  I understand, of course, that the rule
as proposed may not ever be finalized, but at this point is EPA able to
project:



1.  When the proposal will be published in the Federal Register?
2.  How long the agency might take to review comments and, if
appropriate, issue a final rule?
3.  Whether SIP states would be required to implement the final rule
(assuming it goes final), and how long states would be given to amend
their SIPs?



I know it may be too early to tell yet how and when the rule, if
finalized, would be implemented.  Any guidance you can offer on these
questions is appreciated.



Thanks very much,
Tom Grever
