We are trying to get thru this with internal EPA group @ 3:30, absent

the alternative baseline piece.   I am talking to Nathalie about the

alternative baseline @ 3:00.   I would like to have those 2 calls under

my belt before we commit to briefing you.   I was comfortable in doing

back to back on the benefits because there were few new items.

However, the cost portion, especially the extrapolated portion, is new

to this analysis.   I expect more internal questions and suggestions

which may change our briefing cost package before it gets to you.

Maybe we should target next Tuesday since Monday is a holiday.  Do you

have time on that day?

Janet,

Regrets, we took this timeslot for the interagency review of Public

Comments on the Pb NAAQS ANPRM, the rationale being that we needed to

support any interagency discussion before the Administrator's option

selection

Let's try for another timeslot for the RIA discussion with the

interagency group - unless we can get time to do Pb comments on Tues or

Wed

Thanks; apologies, so many meetings, so little time --

heidi

Hi Janet,

The interagency group is schedule for a Lead Risk Assessment meeting

during that time slot.  We could do the morning, or we could do Friday

... Would either of those work for your team?

Heidi,

     Since we're going to be focusing on the baseline issue and

extrapolated costs with just OMB on Wednesday the 13th, we would like to

go ahead and schedule for Thursday afternoon (Feb 14) some time to brief

you and the interagency group on the cost and benefits of our primary

analysis.  We are available from 3:00 - 4:30 on Thursday the 14th.

Would that work for you?

Janet, I probably don't understand what you propose.  Perhaps we should

get on the phone.

Until we resolve baseline, how could there be anything to share with the

interagency group?  This is a pretty significant parameter to continuing

with the analysis.

I'm a bit worried that it appears to our leadership that we haven't made

much progress since the conversation on this issue started last

Nov/December.

I suggest we resolve our discussions around baseline as quickly as

possible and make sure the extrapolation estimates make sense before we

invite the interagency group (rather than spend time reviewing partially

complete work).

Thoughts?

We will be covering the extrapolated costs as a part of this briefing.

The baseline issue will have to wait until after this briefing.  We are

working on your table and would like for our next baseline discussion to

include more details about how we would conduct the alternate baseline

sensitivity analysis and the kind of impact it might have on the cost

and benefit estimates in the RIA.  For wednesday, the cost/benefit

results briefing will focus only on our primary analysis.  We can follow

that up shortly thereafter (no later than a week) with the baseline

sensitivity analysis.  Will that plan work?

It would be great to set this on calendar.

I believe it will be preceded by conversations on baseline and also

extrapolated costs -- Ron suggested extrap cost estimates would be

available 2/11.

Let me know what works - thank you Janet,

We can meet any time Wednesday 13th, afternoon from 1 - 4.  Is there a
