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 update 

our 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

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
