MEMORANDUM

TO: Docket EPA-HQ-OAR-2009-0174

FROM: Gerri G. Garwood, P.E., EPA/OAR/OAQPS/SPPD

DATE: April 30, 2015

SUBJECT: Summary of Meeting with API Representatives on March 25, 2015

On March 25, 2015 at 10 a.m., the EPA held a meeting with members of the American 

Petroleum Institute (API). The main purpose of the meeting was to discuss the proposed

revisions to AP-42 sections 5.1, 8.13, and 13.5. During the meeting, the recently proposed 

Electronic Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements for NSPS rulemaking was discussed 

briefly. A list of attendees is included at Attachment A to this memo. The proposed agenda is 

included as Attachment B to this memo.

Discussion of the proposed rule was limited to a few minutes. The EPA provided 

clarification on the CDX/CEDRI website and clarification that multiple reports could be 

uploaded simultaneously. Interest was expressed in beta testing CEDRI forms when they are 

developed. The issue was also raised that the EPA was taking comment on the collection of long 

term emissions or activity data. The EPA asked attendees to please submit comments formally.

Discussion on this topic ended, and the meeting then moved to the next agenda item.
