Amanda

–

Thanks so much. We would be happy to follow up with Chad on a briefing on the SNAP program. There

are two typos that I want to flag for you since they are text changes. (We can resend the redline and

clean version if you’d like.)



### 1) On or about p. 318 in the tables of foams substitutes that are acceptable

- Formacel TI is

missi ng.



### 2) On p. 153 in Table 6, the R is missing from R

- 428A and RS is missing from RS

- 44.

Everything else appears to be punctuation.Best

Cindy, I figured out that the two changes may not be substantive changes after all. It a ppears that EPA is

responding to comments strictly

— if commenters don’t reference availability, why bring it up?

Also, thanks for agreeing to provide a briefing on why Title VI program can’t offer small business

relief/flexibilities for OMB and SBA. Spec ifically we’re interested in learning what provisions of Title VI

prohibits EPA from allowing small business relief/flexibilities when other air programs routinely offer

such relief. Please follow up with Chad to schedule the briefing.

Bruce, I opened R OCIS. So please up load a clean version.

Thanks for all your help. Amanda

Hi Amanda

Per my vmail, below in brackets is text that's consistent with the rule (sorry, I am working off my phone):

On that basis, EPA is modifying the following listings by sector and end

- use as of the dates indicated.

EPA will continue to monitor the developm ent and deployment of other alternatives as well as their

uptake by industries affected by today’s action. If EPA receives new information indicating that other

alternatives will not be available [for one or more end uses] by the change of status dates sp ecified, EPA

### Hi Amanda

Based on our discussion this afternoon, below is a suggested revision to the current

text. Please let me know if this language addresses the points we discussed.

Best

Cindy

Current Language : We do not believe the re is sufficient information at this time to support a

change of status date later than January 1, 2020; however, as January 2020 approaches, we can

consult with U.S. Coast Guard and consider whether it is appropriate to adjust the change in

status date or to otherwise modify the SNAP listing to address any uses for which there may be

technical challenges beyond January 1, 2020.

Replacement : We do not believe there is sufficient information at this time to support a change

of status date later than J anuary 1, 2020. However, given the concern for safety associated with

marine floatation foam, we will monitor the situation carefully and consult with the U.S. Coast

Guard. As January 2020 approaches, we will consider whether it is appropriate to adjust th e

change in status date or to otherwise modify the SNAP listing to address any uses for which

there may be technical challenges beyond January 1, 2020.From: Newberg, Cindy

Hi Chad

Attached are EPA’s responses on the preamble comments. Also, per our exchange this morning, we

have added language on ice makers c onnected to supermarket systems. In addition, we added language

in the marine floatation discussion regarding monitoring transition to alternatives as 2020 approaches.

Regarding the separate note you sent with comment on Table 24 of Economic Analysis, t he question is

answered on pages 29 and 32:

Page: 29

Section 6.2.1 Remote Retail Food Equipment (Supermarket Systems and Remote Condensing Units)

“For modeling purposes, compliance costs were based on the assumption that end

- users would use R

407A in new and retrofitted systems in place of R

- 404A and R

- 507A. The incremental cost of using this

alternative is assumed to be negligible (i.e., zero dollars) based on cost assumptions identified in EPA’s

report on Global Mitigation of Non

- CO2 Greenhouse Gases: 2 010

- 2030 (EPA 2013). As presented in

Table 19, since annualized compliance costs of using alternative refrigerants are assumed to be

negligible, annual compliance costs as a percentage of average annual sales per firm are assumed to be

zero.[1]”

Page 32

Section 7.2 Aggregated Small Business Impacts of Regulatory Changes

“As shown, an estimated 500,000 small businesses may be subject to the regulatory actions, the vast

majority of which are not expected to experience adverse economic impacts. Nearly all o f the small

businesses are in the commercial refrigeration sector. The foam sector is expected to account for nearly

all of total annualized compliance costs experienced by small businesses; although these costs would be

borne by about 120 small businesses , the average sales per small business are relatively high in this

industry, keeping costs for the majority of those foam manufacturers below 1% of annual sales.”

Hi Chad

Since remote condensing ice makers designed solely to be connected to a supermarket remote rack are

not sold or manufactured with a condensing unit, w e do not believe they meet the definition of

automatic commercial ice maker used by DOE in the automatic commercial ice maker energy efficiency

standards. Therefore, consistent with previous discussions with you and DOE, we don't believe there is

overlap b etween what is considered under ACIM rule and what is considered in the SNAP change of

status rule that you’re reviewing.

1) Revised draft FRM2) Revised SBREFA screening analysis

3) Revised economic analysis

4) Revised climate analysis

5) Revised table showing the dates that have changed from proposal to final

I would like to flag a few things. While the analyses are three separate documents, in the preamble we

added a specific discussion. Also, in the preamble, you will see yellow highl ighter on the cite for another

TSD. It was listed as an ICF document but it’s EPA’s. We will retitle it and fix those cites. Also, all relevant

TSDs will be dated to reflect the final decisions in the rule.

Great, thanks! Would you send the overview briefing by COB Thursday so that I can circulate with

reviewers. I’m h appy to add any additional contacts to the distribution list as we want to make sure all

interested federal agency stakeholders have a chance to review. We distribute to designated contacts at

each agency. These contacts are responsible for circulating wit hin their agencies.

Hi Chad

Yes, we are available for a briefing for you and the reviewers Friday at 11am. I think it might be helpful

to confirm the list of reviewers you will be inviting. For example, Phil Cappel at C oast Guard

( Philip.J.Cappel@uscg.mil ) should be included. Are you able to share your list? Thanks!
