RE: Pb RIA Chapters for OMB









For the RIA discussion at 9:30, the Excel sheet is my effort to

communicate more clearly what I think I understand was done and would

like to see explained in the chapters.  The chapters sometimes read

differently and so I'm not sure whether I misunderstand or they just

aren't all "sewn together" yet.

The Chap 4 doc should have edits from OMB on the filtering issue, which

was one of the items on the list I emailed last Friday.

Thank you folks,

heidi

Kathy et al,

I'll ask Margaret to set up time for us to walk through the RIA issues

together.  

I am increasingly concerned that we have not made sufficient progress

implementing our points of agreement in the RIA for OMB to conclude

review on this document in the next few days.  

My hope is that conversation will help us clarify any points of

misunderstanding.  I am in the office full day tomorrow, Friday, and

would be pleased to have the conversation with you,

heidi

Hi Kathy,

I'm still a bit worried about characterizing the RIA as analysis of

"nationally attaining" since we are only analyzing 36 counties. Perhaps

we could hop on the phone for a few minutes?

Thanks !!

Heidi

Heidi -- attached are all the current chapters of the Pb RIA.  We

believe we have incorporated all of your comments, with the exception of

cascading new alternative C-R functions and new alternative blood Pb

ratios throughout the analysis.

You'll note in particular that we have incorporated the alternative

standard of 0.50 ug/m3 throughout.  Also please note changes to the

front pages of chapter 4, 5, 6, 7, and the Executive Summary to add

caveats.

Thanks.
