Subject: RE:551 state plan status

Hi Leimarys,

The proposed Federal plan mistakenly categorized EQB's 551 plan submittal as draft - EQB's submitted 551 plan is a final

plan for EPAapproval. I informed EPA headquarters about this mistake a few weeks ago and so this error will be

corrected.

1
I am currently reviewing EQB's plan and I hope to at least have a proposed rule published this year - it will depend upon

project priorities and other factors here in Region 2.

I requested that 2 pages from EQB's plan be translated into English - John Aponte from our CEPDoffice sent the request

to Ana Rosa Rivera and Luis Sierra on May 21,2015. I have not yet seen the translated documents.

Hi Ted:

We noted that EQB's SSI state plan status was included as Draft in the Proposed Rule (April 27, 2015) of the Federal

Plan.

EQB understands a final plan was submitted to EPA (July 30, 2014) and received on August 7, 2014.

Please let us know the status ofthe review of the Puerto Rico SSI state plan submitted.

Cordially,
