Ben, 

 Attached are the latest round of EO 12866 interagency comments. The comments can be identified by searching for 

EO13563 in the comment bubbles. We accepted the redline from your most recent passback so that only redline 

changes would be due to suggested edits. We left the previous comment bubbles though. Let me know if you would 

like to discuss.

Hi Chad, 

I’m attaching the next iteration of the aircraft package. A few notes: 

• This version responds to the 5/8 comments, and incorporates the new Section G edits as well. 

• We are attaching three supporting documents that you requested. 

• In addition to responding to specific interagency comments in this 2nd round, we have updated sections I, II, and 

V (most updates are in section V) with 2013 GHG inventory numbers, which are from the 2015 EPA GHG & Sinks 

report just published on April 15, 2015. Note, in the first round of OMB review, OMB asked, “has EPA released 

the inventory for 2013 and 2014 yet – if so, consider including in this discussion.” We responded that since the 

2013 inventory numbers were just released, we need time to update the inventory numbers throughout the

preamble (particularly section V), and OMB was okay with this response. Subsequently, we have now finished 

updating these inventory numbers. 

Please let me know if you have questions. 

Thanks, 

Ben

Tia, 

 Attached are the suggested EO 12866 interagency comments pertaining to just Section G of the draft rule. The 

attached document does not contain the comments that I sent over on 5/8 in the email below. When EPA responds, 

please use the document from 5/8 and substitute Section G from the document attached to this email. The suggested 

changes in Section G can be identified by green highlighted text in the body of the email. 

 Please let me know if you have any questions. 

Thanks, 

Chad

Tia, 

 Attached are additional comments on the aircraft emissions rule and endangerment finding. We’re still working 

through language Section G and how to have something early next week. In the meantime, would you please respond 

to the attached comments. The new comments can be identified by searching for EO12866 in the comment bubbles. 

Thanks, 

Chad
