-- Additional Items for OMB & Interag ency Review



### Cortney,

Attached are several things we agreed to send you to help answer questions brought up on our calls. The Completions TSD chapter is still being cleaned up and will be ready Tuesday by midday. Accompanying the TSD chapter will be a memo discussing the baseline emissions estimates and how they have been developed in the context of the GHG inventory.

1. Gina McCarthy memo to Regional Administrators on aggregation of oil and gas sources

2. Educational presentation on reduced emissio n completions.

3. EPA Natural Gas STAR "Lessons Learned" on well completions

-- this is new and not yet posted on the Gas STAR website. It is very detailed and informative.

4. Memo on gas composition variability and what we used for our representative profile for impacts

estimation.

5. Detailed spreadsheet showing emissions, reductions, costs, etc. for all potential regulated emission points, including those we did not reg ulate. For NSPS, the rows with "YES" in the Option 2 column will show you which ones we have in the proposed rule. This spreadsheet (2 tabs) includes one sheet for NSPS and one sheet for MACT. This spreadsheet is large and is best viewed on the computer rather than printing it.

I'll be out of the office on Tuesday, but will be checking email. I've been assured we will have the TSD chapter on well completions ready to send on Tuesday. We are also working hard to finalize the chapters on remaining emiss ion units (compressors, pneumatic devices, storage vessels, etc.), but those are not ready to share yet.

### Cortney,

Attached are the TSD for well completions and a memo explaining the methodology for baseline emissions as agreed. Although much work has been done on it to make sure it is technically accurate, it remains a draft, so it is still pending potential fixes.

I believe this will help the interagency reviewers understand better the background for the proposal.

Thanks,

Date: 07/22/2011 04:46 PM Subject: Oil and Gas Revised RIA, TSD chapters, and small business niche res ponses

### Cortney,

Attached as we just discussed are:

1. the revised RIA (RLSO and clean versions)
2. our responses to the small business questions raised earlier this week 3. additional draft chapters of the TSD (we've sent the Completions chapter, bu t that is being revised to reflect our new composition analyses and resulting reduction in baseline emissions). The attached new chapters cover compressors, pneumatic devices, leak detection and repair, and storage vessels. Please

be aware these are draf t chapters in various stages of readiness and will be revised as we move forward. However, they should be helpful to the reviewers in understanding the background and analyses.

As we agreed, I will send the revised preamble later tonight.

I will also schedule a meeting and get a phone line for Monday at 1:00 to have a followup discussion on the interagency questions and our responses. Dave Guinnup has already arranged for a meeting on Tuesday to followup on the risk discussions.

Thanks and have a great weekend,

Bruce
