Tina,

I wanted to follow-up on the telephone conversation we had last week and let you know my understanding of how Wyoming plans to proceed with the FLM SIP review and consultation.

We (the FLM community) prefer to review the draft SIP and supporting materials, including BART determinations before a conversation with the State staff so that we can highlight issues during that discussion before we finalize our formal written comments. Having a complete draft of the SIP, BART materials and supporting information allows us to complete one review period and allows the State to proceed with completion of public comments and other administrative requirements without repetitive requests for FLM review.

Our FLM review, through experience gained with other states, has developed into an process which works smoothly and can accommodate most state administrative procedures. Our first action is to acknowledge when we have received the draft SIP and supporting materials. We then complete a preliminary review of those materials in approximately 20 days. One of the FLM agencies conducting reviews will then set up a telephone conference with state staff to discuss
our initial review in the 20 to 30 day time period. The lead FLM invites the all the FLM agencies and the US EPA regional office staff to that discussion. Once we discuss our concerns the State can tell us to proceed to complete our formal comments or, if we have serious concerns, the State can decide to revise the SIP and put our review on hold until the
we receive the revisions. This is fully the State's decision. If there is no pause in our review, we complete formal comments in 60 days.

We ask that the State allow sufficient time for us to complete our review before the closure of the public comment period or holding a public hearing. This allows some time for the public to be aware of our concerns, as anticipated by the Regional Haze rule. We understand that states may wish to overlap our review with public comments and that is acceptable to us so long as the State notifies the public of our comments before or at the public hearing. This notification has usually been accomplished by placing our comments on the State's web page related to the regional haze SIP changes.

To start the FLM review, it is sufficient to email a message to myself, Scott Copeland, and Tim Allen. The email should let us know you wish to begin the formal FLM review and where to

1**---~----- --~------** **~-** -obtain the draft SIP and supporting materials. Most states have used a web site or FTP
server to make the documents available to us. You can also send us a CD but we will begin our 60 day clock when we receive the CD. We prefer NOT to receive paper copies of the documents since we place those materials on our FLM Clearinghouse so that all agency reviewers are working off the same documents. This also allows local FLM staff the ability to provide comments to the three of us as we prepare the formal response to the States. You should be aware that we have granted EPA staff access to this clearinghouse, but it is not accessible to the pUblic.
Therefore, it is my understanding that we are not planning a face-to-face meeting at this time. We'll await notification of availability of the SIP and supporting materials. We look forward to working with you in completing the FLM review efficiently.
