          What types of education, technical assistance, and partnerships that EPA could provide would be most beneficial to your efforts to advance GHG emission reductions related to electricity generation and use? 
          Do you see any analytic or data gaps that EPA could address through this program to both accurately identify mitigation measures delivering the most significant emission reductions for electricity generation and use as well as measure success to ensure accountability?
