RE: Pb next week?









Heidi, no problem.  I couldn't find the "source information" reference
in past emails,  -- maybe I mistakenly deleted something or heard it
verbally from my management -- but it sounds like we're on the same page
anyway.

RE: Pb next week?









You are correct - previous briefing but opened up to the interagency

group, with awareness that MACT is an area of interest to some and we

also want to speak briefly on Energy Exec Order.

Thank you for being thorough, Kathy, it saves us all time in the long

run.

Best regards,

heidi

Heidi, thanks, your answers are really helpful.

On the question about "source information" -- I'll shoot the email back

to you, but yes, it was the risk assessment email.  So I'm surmising

there's nothing additional beyond what was in the previous briefings,

but please tell me if I'm wrong.

Thanks for your prompt reply!

Hi Kathy, thank you for your work on this.  I tried to reply thoroughly

to each of your questions below.

-- are you asking whether the cost analysis will take into account

controls that have been or will be applied as a result of MACT

standards?  The short answer is yes, we are taking that co-control into

account for the stationary sources near potentially violating monitors

>> Thank you, that is indeed the question as I understood it from

interagency colleagues.  They may have more specific questions on

specific controls, but that has not been shared with me.

-- but is there more detail needed for next week's meeting in regard to

specific MACT standards?  I'm trying to figure out who I may need to

pull in.

>> Not that I know of.  (I also wouldn't recommend that this become a

MACT meeting - we have too much to cover - so follow ups to specific

detailed questions would be appropriate, in my opinion.)

-- Also, in your original note last week you mentioned wanting to focus

on "source information" -- is that what the MACT question above refers

to, or are there additional "source" questions that we should be

prepared to answer?

>> I'm sorry, an email on the Pb NAAQS RIA using the term "source

information" doesn't come to mind quickly - but this is not likely the

MACT question.  I was probably referring to a) information about sources

of Pb, including emitting sources or other environmental sources, and/or

b) paucity of data sources that we'll be able to use in this analysis

and/or c) identifying what are the sources (research and data) used in

the analysis.  If you could bounce that email back to me I'd be happy to

clarify; I'm sorry I can't find it in my outbox.  (Is this the Risk

Assessment note?)

If so, do you know what those might be?   (i.e. cost questions,

inventory questions, etc.). Again I want to make sure I have the right

people and/or briefing material.

>> I thought the briefing you shared with OMB was about right as an

introduction, with the addition of time identified to talk about the

Energy EO, and an awareness that MACT assumptions in the baseline was

likely to come up from briefing participants.

Two other questions that came up when we talked with Lydia today:

1.  It would be helpful to know which agencies will be represented at

the meeting next week.

>> Invitees include:

Ag

Commerce

Defense

Energy

Interior

SBA

Transportation

CEQ

OVP

OSHA and another of the health agencies - I'll check (but it was not

CDC, rather a standards-setting group) CEA and OMB Budget colleagues

have also been invited, but I haven't heard replies yet

Also, Lydia was wondering if you had identified a CDC representative,

and if so, who that is.  Thanks.

>>  I have invited and shared a draft of materials with Dept of

Health/Dept of Labor.  They have not accepted yet.

2.  Per Ron's earlier conversation with you on deadlines:   Given the

ozone deadlines in February, we're presuming you will be needing

February to be focusing on ozone.  Therefore our current plan is to get

the Pb RIA to you by late February.   Are we correct in assuming late

February is a reasonable plan for the Pb RIA?  (We're just trying to be

as realistic as we can).

>> Of course, the earlier the better, but I'm assuming that end of Feb

is the best we all can do -- I appreciate your willingness to give the

reviewers a leg-up with this pre-brief.

I hope this answers your questions; please feel free to give me a call

also if I've been too wordy or unclear!

Kathy,

I sent out the invitations for our Pb RIA meeting, scheduled for Wed

10:30 - noon.

A couple of items that would be helpful to include on the agenda, as

I've been hearing these questions from interagency folks:

- Review of how the agency plans to assess whether this rule triggers

the Energy Exec Order (I suspect this will be quick!)

- Treatment of all Pb MACT standards in the RIA

Otherwise, I think the briefing you took OMB through would be great to

get this process started.

Thanks so much, let me know if there's anything I can do to facilitate

or clarify etc

Hi Kathy,

Warren Gillette of FAA (our contact on avgas issues) would like an

invitation to the InterAgency meeting on the Pb RIA this Wed.  Is that

best arranged through Heidi?  Warren's contact info is below.  Do you

know if most of the participants are phoning in or is there a room

reserved for the InterAgency participants?  Warren is in DC so if most

people are attending in person he might want to have that option.

Thanks for facilitating this.

Marion
