Greg, 

Attached is the run script for the 2011 base year CAMx run, which is one of the items you requested.

Thank you. If you happen to get the data copied over to the drive before the FedEx label arrives, please

give me a call and I will provide you with the Alpine FedEx account number that you can use on a blank

airbill.

Hi Norm,

Thanks again for confirming last week the drive size requirements necessary for you to copy and

distribute the modeling platform data from the recent ozone NAAQS proposal.

I have purchased and have had sent, directly to you, a 6TB external hard drive (UPS Tracking #

1Z21F61F0355159921) that will arrive the Old Page Rd facility sometime today. Additionally, via snail

mail, I have sent a prefilled FedEx airbill for you to use once the data have been copied to the drive. The

return address for this shipment will be to Dennis in our Colorado office.

Should you have any questions regarding the transfer, please do not hesitate to contact either Dennis or

me at your convenience.

Thank you,

Greg

Subject: Re: Ozone NAAQS Sensitivity/Control Data Request

Hi Heather,

Thank you again for the design value spreadsheets from the attached email. I have two additional

requests with which I hope you can help me.

(1) I am interested in obtaining the emission reduction values, by State or region, that are associated

with each of the control cases listed in the proposal RIA. I note that the RIA provides summaries of

emissions by source sector or region (Tables 3‐1 and 3‐3) and summaries of emission reductions by

control type (Tables 4A‐5 through 4A‐12), but doesn't provide a geographic breakdown of the individual

State or region reductions by source or control type (e.g., NOx reductions from Low Emission

Combustion ‐ Gas Fired Lean Burn IC Engines in the Northeastern region or non‐EGU point source

reductions in the Midwest). The purpose of this request is to see where each of these emission sectors

or control types is achieving the greatest emission reduction impact. Since the CoST tool used to develop

your scenarios is not being made available to the public (http://www.epa.gov/ttn/ecas/cost.htm), there

is no way that we can independently generate these results from the inventories and additional

instructional information provided in the RIA.

(2) In the across the board anthropogenic NOx and VOC emission reduction scenarios, please confirm

whether you included reductions from onroad mobile sources.

Thanks in advance,

Greg

and that we may be waiting on a determination on what configuration of drives would be best to send

you for this transfer. Let me know if there are other issues that we need to be addressing in the

meanwhile.

other illustrative control strategy options by looking at different configurations of the sensitivity results
