All,

Looks like the last sentence will be okay. This alternative on the "as a first step" issue has been offered: Leave the sentence with "accordingly" and expand the quote from the CFI so that it includes the bottom of p. 5 leading into p. 6. They are okay with removing the paragraph in between ("Given the broad and complex ...") if it is a spacing issue.

Give me a call if you would like to chat about this before 1pm. Thanks, Christine

*** Quote from pp. 5-6 of CFI: "This Call for Information serves as a first step for EPA in considering options for addressing emissions of biogenic CO2 under the PSD and Title V programs as indicated above. Given the broad and complex nature of this issue, EPA also welcomes stakeholders to respond to this Call for Information by providing data
submissions about these sources and their emissions and technical comments on approaches generally to accounting for GHG emissions from bioenergy and other biogenic sources. EPA requests that stakeholders provide relevant information on the underlying science that should inform possible accounting approaches. In response to this Call for Information, interested parties are invited to assist EPA in the following: (1) Surveying and assessing the science by submitting research studies or other relevant information, and (2) evaluating different accounting approaches and options by providing policy analyses, proposed or published methodologies, or other relevant information. Interested parties are also invited to submit data or other relevant information about the current and projected scope of GHG emissions from bioenergy and other biogenic sources."

Hi Folks,

I’ve had a chance to touch base with interagency reviewers on the biogenics language. I am sending forward their redline edits, however, I would like for us to talk before you react with any counter-edit.

Please call me as soon as possible so that we can discuss and hopefully resolve this language.

Thanks, Christine202.395.4638 [attachment "Interagency4 on Final EPA language OfferCLEAN080410- Final.docx" deleted by Anna Wood/DC/USEPA/US]
