Can we ask you just a few questions at 7:45? Let’s use the following call-in number (hopefully with 

Kevin opening the line?)

Thanks!

Hi all, 

Folks are still reviewing the document, but they will know by 7:30 if they have any questions. 

Howard or Lorie, will one of you be reachable at 7:30 or after? If not, that’s okay, but if so, please 

let me know how you can be reached. 

Please let know if you have any questions. 

Also, two minor comments on the legal memo which you may have already fixed: 

FN 36 - should have a comma after the Essex citation, not a period. 

FN 41 - Is the citation meant to say ESPS, or should it be NSPS? 

Regards, 

Cortney

Cortney 

Kevin asked me to send you the attached document, which we believe addresses your question 

about a blank spot in the preamble where the legal issues were to be discussed. 

The attached document is section f (legal issues) in the discussion on state plans. I’m sorry I don’t 

know what page it is on in the preamble version you have, but if you search for “placeholder” that 

should take you to the right section. The attached document is intended to show the changes from 

the last preamble version that we sent you. 

Thanks
