Hi Chrsitine,

Thanks for your efforts in trying to help move these packages forward. Per our discussion today, please 

find attached a RLSO and a clean copy of EPA's language edits. Per your suggestion, I included the note 

that EPA would like to use the same language in the FIP proposal as well.

 Final EPA language OfferCLEAN- 080410- Final.docx Final EPA language OfferCLEAN- 080410- Final.docx Final EPA language OfferRLSO- 080410- Final.docx Final EPA language OfferRLSO- 080410- Final.docx 

I will also schedule a call for 1pm tomorrow.

 Subject: Language EPA can live with for call at 1.30pm today. 

Christine,

Please find attached a RLSO to the latest edits you sent us along with a clean 

version of the language that EPA can compromise with. As you can see there 

are 2 or 3 minor edits that EPA is seeking in the SIP rule.

We also would like the FIP rule to contain the language that we agree upon in 

the SIP Rule. We do not see any basis for the language to differ in the two 

packages.

Please make an effort to be on the call at 1.30pm because as Anna indicated 

these must be cleared by OMB today. For your information our schedule had 

called for signature of these packages today and we were promised an expedited 

OMB review.
Also, you had indicated yesterday that thee may be some redline changes in the

two drafts. Why haven't we seen them yet? In any case, we will consider 

those changes and make them to the best of our ability but I am assuming that 

they are not likely to be cause for further delay.

thanks

All,

Attached please find proposed edits to the FIP proposal (inserting one 

sentence in lieu of the earlier LDVR sentence and mirroring the first 

paragraph of the agreed upon SIP proposal language). The SIP proposal 

language is resolved at this stage. Please let me know EPA's response.

Thanks,

Christine
