### Fw: API committee meeting participant list /briefing Rosalina Rodriguez to: Tricia Crabtree 08/05/2010 06:31 PM Cc: Peter South
Please docket this meeting, Tricia. Let me know if you have any questions. Include their presentation, which is at the bottom of this email. This is my summary of the meeting: 

### The API group met with Bob Sussman on Monday Aug 2, 2010. API attendees: Khary Cauthen American Petroleum Institute , Howard Feldman American Petroleum Institute , Al Collins Occidental, Robert Nolan ExxonMobil, Patricia Richards Marathon, Dave Sander Chevron, Karen St. John BP. Also at the meeting were: Janet McCabe, OAR; Steve Page and Rosalina Rodriguez, OAQPS/OAR; and John Vandenberg, NCEA/ORD. API is urging EPA to abandon the O 3 NAAQS Reconsideration schedule and maintain the 2013 O3 NAAQS Review schedule (which actually calls for proposal in May 2013 and final in Feb 2014). API says this longer period will give EPA time in a full cycle review to address additional health studies , background issues, and the W126 form for the secondary standard. Main issues raised by API : EPA picked and chose studies (for ozone review and for other NAAQS ), some not even peer reviewed, and "relied on conflicting hypotheses" like the 2002 Ross study which reached different conclusions on lung function changes based on time of the day . EPA needs to consider monitoring data on ozone background levels and international transport because there are outstanding issues with under -predicting models that API has researched and litigated on; more refinement is needed; there are huge implications for implementation and benefits calculation ; EPA should not wait until implementation to fix the background issue ; measured levels in Yellowstone are 66ppb, which API considers "background" because of remoteness; one PRB for the whole nation doesn't make sense because concentrations vary temporally and by season , elevation, etc ... W126 is not ready, lacks strong biological basis.

No problem Amit, attached is the document we spoke from with Mr. Sussman and the attendees are pasted below. We gave a more detailed presentation in June to the Office of Air and Radiation. I also included the document that we used during that meeting with Rob Brenner and Janet McCabe in June. The briefing was originally scheduled for AA McCarthy but she was pulled into a meeting with the Administrator at the last minute.

Hi Khary, I am Amit and I am Gina McCarthy's special assistant. We need a list of the participants that attended the API meeting yesterday as well as the API briefing materials. Could you please provide us with a copy of those two items?

Thanks!
