Yes I was talking about the calibration issue. I think the compliance date for those requirements would 

require an opinion from OECA because we do specifically call out "compliance dates" in the section that 

discuss calibrations for feed or clinker rates, though we don't call then by that name. But we also say 

three years for all requirements in the compliance date section.

However, we think that there is enough interpretative leeway in the term calibration that this should not 

cause a problem in the near term. It does need to be addressed with some of the other testing and 

monitoring issues. And we are not comfortable with addressing this in the clarification notice. It would be 

better addressed through notice and comment rulemaking.

Keith, 

Thank you. The last part of your message is a bit confusing. Is it in reference to my question about the 

clinker production monitoring issues? Is it safe to assume that the deadline for compliance with these 

requirements is 9-9-13?

Thanks,

Andy

I think I sent the wrong table. Here is the corrected version.

(See attached file: Table 2.docx)

Steve Silverman and I discussed this issue with Hector. (We called Hector because he was the first 

person to raise the issue and had already sent information). As a result of that conversation Steve and I 

believe this can be dealt with as more of an interpretative issue as to the meaning of calibration, and don't 

believe is would be a good idea to try and address this in the technical correction notice.

Keith,

Thank for the opportunity to review. Table 2 is still missing the opacity standard (20) under items 1 and 2. 

Otherwise, the preamble and rule text are clear to me.

Do you plan to also clarify the compliance deadline language addressing the clinker production 
monitoring provisions in Sections 63.1350(d)(2) and 60.63(b)(2)?

Thanks,

Andy
