federal requirements.

Comparison with Any Minimum or Uniform Standards: 

There are no changes in the draft proposed action that are inconsistent with the federal 

requirements, differences are included in the current District regulation. 

Report on Public Outreach Efforts: 

A notice of informal review was sent to various members of the community, EPA Region 4, and 

the Kentucky Division for Air Quality. A legal notice of a public comment period was published 

in the Courier-Journal on February 20,2009; comments were received through March 23,2009.
