Subject: Agenda and materials for the first SBAR Panel Outreach meeting for the Utility GHG NSPS 

Rulemaking - Friday, June 17, 2011
Dear Small Entity Representatives:

On behalf of the Small Business Advocacy Chair, I thank you for participating in a meeting to discuss 

EPA’s upcoming rulemaking, "Greenhouse Gas New Source Performance Standard for Electric Utility 

Steam Generating Units." You will be consulting with a Small Business Advocacy Review (SBAR) Panel, 

which is composed of federal government employees from the Environmental Protection Agency, the 

Small Business Administration, and the Office of Management and Budget. Please see the attached 

agenda for meeting details and teleconference information. 

To help the SBAR Panel understand and consider the potential effects of the draft proposed rule on small 

entities, the Panel is interested in your feedback on all issues relating to the key elements of an Initial 

Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (IRFA) as specified by the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), which include:

 a description of and, where feasible, an estimate of the number of small entities to which the 

proposed rule will apply;

 a description of projected reporting, record keeping, and other compliance requirements of the 

proposed rule, including an estimate of the classes of small entities which will be subject to the 

requirements and the type of professional skills necessary for preparation of the report or record;

 an identification, to the extent practicable, of all relevant Federal rules which may duplicate, overlap, 

or conflict with the proposed rule;

 a description of any significant alternative to the proposed rule which accomplish the stated objectives 

of applicable statutes and which minimizes any significant economic impact of the proposed rule on 

small entities.

To help support your efforts in this regard, we have enclosed additional information on the potential small 

entity impacts of the rulemaking and potential ways to reduce those impacts. 

The attachments to this email include the information previously sent to you June 10. Note that the first 

attachment (1.) is an updated version of what you were sent before. In addition to this background 

material, I have also attached an agenda for the June 17 meeting and the short presentation that the 

Small Business Advocacy Chair will give at the start of that meeting.

1. Presentation on the Rulemaking (“EGU NSPS Panel Outreach Presentation 2011.06.15.pdf”)

2. Document outlining the regulatory options that EPA heard at the five GHG NSPS listening 

sessions (“Final NSPS Markup 05-05-2011.pdf”)

3. Agenda for the 6-17-11 Meeting (“EGU GHG Panel Outreach Meeting Agenda 2011.06.17.pdf”)

4. Presentation by the Small Business Advocacy Chair ("SBAC talking points for EGU GHG NSPS 

panel outreach meeting 2011-06-17.pdf")

The goal of this first meeting will be to familiarize you with the background on the rulemaking itself as well 

as the Panel process and your role as a SER in the Panel process. The questions the Panel has for 

SERs will also be presented. While there is time reserved on the agenda for discussion, that discussion 

will focus on the materials themselves. You will not be expected to provide your input and feedback on 

the questions for SERs at this first meeting. The second Panel Outreach meeting to be held July 13 will 

focus on obtaining your feedback to those questions. You will also have two weeks, from the date of the 

second meeting (July 27), to submit written comments to the Panel.

For those of you attending in person, please email me (wiggins.lanelle@epa.gov) before COB today. I 
will need to give the guards your name to make your entry into the building as easy as it can be. Also 

please note the address for the building on the agenda. I had listed the wrong building address on my 

last email to you, however the room number and call-in number are correct.

Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend the meeting tomorrow. Caryn Muellerleile 

(muellerleile.caryn@epa.gov or 202-564-2855) will be covering for me. Please contact her after today if 

you have any last minute questions or needs.

Regards,

Lanelle
