USTR has no substantive comments although I did notice a couple of
typos:

Page 27, first line: "receive" should be "received"
Page 32, section 2:  The first sentence doesn't make sense.  Perhaps you
should drop the words "be expressed as follows" from the second line.

Subject: CUE Methyl Bromide Final Rulemaking: Final Informal Draft


Hello all,

Please find attached what I hope is the final informal draft for the
2008 CUE rulemaking.  In this draft, I've marked significant changes
that respond to issues raised during interagency review.  Minor
editorial changes that reviewers suggested have been made, but are not
explicitly marked in this draft.  As discussed on last week's calls, EPA
is currently estimating 2008 iodomethane uptake, and double-checking its
estimate of the feasibility of sulfuryl fluoride for 2008 cocoa bean
fumigations.  These issues may create small changes to the CUE amounts
in the attached draft.

Given the tight time frame for publishing this rule before the end of
the year, please provide comments on this draft within 24-hours, and
expect to hear from Amanda  in the very near future about any final
calls that may be needed before this package is formally transmitted
through EPA to OMB.

Once again, thank you all for your continued hard work and cooperation!

Regards,
