Bruce,

    Here is the text and attachments for the review of the O3 NAAQS
Final RIA.  It should go to the following at OMB...

"King, Heidi R." <Heidi_R._King@omb.eop.gov> 

"Johansson, Robert" <Robert_C._Johansson@omb.eop.gov>

Arthur_G._Fraas@omb.eop.gov

Thanks,

Janet

Heidi, 

Enclosed is a full version of the ozone NAAQS RIA.   This version is
complete, including the alternative baseline discussion.   It reflects
our characterization of the benefits and costs, recognizing that this
reflects the first time which you will have seen all the numbers
together.   As we indicated on the phone yesterday, EPA/OPEI is
reviewing this version concurrently with you, this leaves open the
possibility we will be coming to you with changes and corrections. 
Additionally, contractors are making minor changes and concurrently
editing chapter section numbers and the detailed table of contents to
reflect recent changes.

We all are looking forward to the finalization of the rule and RIA on
3/12/08, one final push will get us there.  

 Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have questions or need
clarifications.

Thank you,

Ron Evans
