Janet: short list of notes on O3 draft RIA









Hi Ron and Janet,

 

I had a long list of small items on the in-progress RIA chapters you
sent over, but these are the only 4 points I thought might be helpful to
mention to you sooner rather than later. 

 

- I suspect you'll revise the discussion of baseline to incorporate the
alternative baseline

- Is there any reason we’re using $1999?

-  Clarify whether costs are estimated for all counties, or for modeled
counties only.  If for modeled counties only, what is relationship btw
that subset and total national?

- The term “Nationwide attainment” (which seems to exclude CA) can
be easily misinterpreted as suggesting that all areas of the nation are
in attainment.  Does EPA have an alternative term, and we can reserve
the term “Nationwide Attainment” to represent nationwide attainment?
