DOE is not establishing the fee structure for target material as it would be established on a case-by-case basis and would be agreed to and specified on the shipping-receipt contract for a particular campaign. DOE reserves the right to revise the fee policy at any time to respond to changed circumstances. DOE also reserves the right to adjust the fee set in an acceptance contract if there are unique and compelling circumstances that make it in DOE’s best interest to do so.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 
I. General Information A. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for the EPA?

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to the EPA through www.regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or CD ROM that you mail to the EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD ROM as CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD ROM the specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket. Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.

2. Tips for Preparing Your Comments. When submitting comments, remember
to:

• Identify the rulemaking by docket number and other identifying information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).

• Follow directions. The agency may ask you to respond to specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.

• Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and substitute language for your requested changes.

• Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information and/ or data that you used.

• If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be reproduced.

• Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns, and suggest alternatives.

• Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of profanity or personal threats.

• Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period deadline identified. II. Background

The Guideline on Air Quality Models (hereafter, called the Guideline, which is found in Appendix W to 40 CFR part 51), is used by the EPA, states and industry to prepare and review new source permits, source permit modifications, and State Implementation Plan submittals and revisions. The Guideline serves as a means by which national consistency is maintained in air quality analyses. We originally published the Guideline in April 1978, and it was incorporated by reference in the regulations for the Prevention of Significant Deterioration of Air Quality in June 1978. We revised the Guideline in 1986, and updated it with supplement A in 1987, supplement B in July 1993, and supplement C in August 1995. We published the Guideline as Appendix W to 40 CFR part 51 when we issued supplement B. We republished the Guideline in August 1996 (61 FR 41838) to adopt the CFR system for labeling paragraphs.

To support the process of developing and revising the Guideline during the period 1977–1988, we held the First, Second, and Third Conferences on Air Quality Modeling as required by CAA Section 320 to help standardize modeling procedures. These modeling conferences provided us with comments on the Guideline and associated revisions, thereby helping us introduce improved modeling techniques into the regulatory process.

In October 1988, we held the Fourth Conference on Air Quality Modeling to advise the public on new modeling techniques and to solicit comments to guide our consideration of any rulemaking needed to further revise the Guideline. We held the Fifth Conference in March 1991, which served as a public hearing for the proposed revisions to the Guideline. In August 1995, we held the Sixth Conference as a forum to updateour available modeling tools with stateof-the-science techniques and for the public to offer new ideas. The Seventh Conference was held in June 2000 and served as a public hearing for the proposed changes to the recommended air quality models in Appendix W including the CALPUFF modeling system, AERMOD modeling system, and ISC–PRIME model. We held the Eighth Conference on Air Quality Modeling in September 2005, which provided details on changes to these recommended air quality models, including the Notice of Data Availability published in September 2003 related to the incorporation of the PRIME downwash algorithm in the AERMOD dispersion model in response to comments received from the Seventh Conference, and details on available methods for model performance evaluation. Additionally, at the Eighth Conference, there was a panel of experts discussion on the use of state-of-the-science prognostic meteorological data for informing the dispersion models.

The most recent conference was the Ninth Conference on Air Quality Modeling held in October 2008. The conference began with an overview presentation and review of Appendix W and plans to reinstitute the Model Clearinghouse. Several presentations were made on non-guideline applications of dispersion models as well as a continuation of discussions from the Eighth Conference on the use of prognostic meteorological data with respect to informing the Appendix W models. Updates were provided on the regulatory status, recent coding changes, and future development of the AERMOD modeling system, the EPA’s preferred model for near-field regulatory applications, and the CALPUFF modeling system, the EPA’s preferred model for long-range transport of criteria pollutants and their impacts on Federal Class I areas. The Ninth Conference concluded with a collection of presentations reviewing the available model evaluation methods and reviewing new and emerging models and techniques for future consideration under Appendix W. The proceedings, including supporting material and public comments received, are found in Docket No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2008–0604. III. Public Participation

The Tenth Conference on Air Quality Modeling will be open to the public; no admission fee is charged and there is no formal registration. The conference will begin the first morning with introductory remarks by the presiding EPA official. The following topics will be presented:

A. Appendix W overview; B. Model Clearinghouse update; C. Currently preferred air quality models (AERMOD and CALPUFF) status and updates;

D. Review of prognostic meteorological data processing tool for dispersion models, MMIF;


### 4810 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 20 / Tuesday, January 31, 2012 / Notices

E. Modeling for compliance demonstration of the PM2.5 National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) including discussion of the draft PM2.5 (primary and secondary) modeling guidance;

F. Modeling for compliance demonstration of the 1-hour NO 2 and SO 2 NAAQS including presentations from the AERMOD Implementation Workgroup NO 2 and SO 2 modeling study;

G. Review of new and emerging models/techniques for future consideration under Appendix W to address long-range transport and chemistry; and

H. Other presentations by the public. Those wishing to speak at the conference, whether to volunteer a presentation on a special topic or to offer general comment on any of the modeling techniques scheduled for presentation, should contact the EPA at the address given in the **FOR FURTHER**
**INFORMATION CONTACT** section (note the cutoff date). Such persons should identify the organization (if any) on whose behalf they are speaking and the length of the presentation. If a presentation of general comments is projected to be longer than 10 minutes, the presenter should also state why a longer period is needed. Persons failing to submit a written notice but desiring to speak at the conference should notify the presiding officer immediately before the conference, and they will be scheduled on a time-available basis.

The conference will be conducted informally and chaired by an EPA official. There will be no sworn testimony or cross examination. A verbatim transcript of the conference proceedings will be produced and placed in the docket. Speakers should bring extra copies of their presentation for inclusion in the docket and for the convenience of the recorder. Speakers will also be permitted to enter written comments into the record. Additional written statements or comments should be sent to the OAR Regulatory Docket (see **ADDRESSES** section). A transcript of the proceedings and a copy of all written comments will be maintained in Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2012– 0056, which will remain open until April 16, 2012, for the purpose of receiving additional comments.

Dated: January 25, 2012. Mary E. Henigin, Acting Director, Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards.
