Avi:

  

Could we schedule a time to follow up with you and your staff on our comments on the Boiler MACT and

NSHM rules?  We would like to focus on the following issues:  (1) that EPA has the legal authority to

grant a categorical 1‐year extension to the compliance deadline, as detailed in our Boiler MACT

comments (pp. 14; 27‐30), and (2) that EPA has the authority and ability to list key biomass materials as

non‐waste fuels, as in our NHSM comments (pp. 8‐9; 45‐69).  

  

We appreciate your consideration.

  

Best regards,

  

Paul
