I haven't been following the discussion, but as of now I have two

interagency briefings scheduled on the SOx NAAQS:

10am for standards and rationale (if we finish a few minutes early,

great!) 2pm to cover implementation

Let me know if I have misunderstood.

Also, Chet, do you have a conference line we can use for the afternoon

call?

Thanks all,

heidi

I can live with that, but history is we always take longer on the

standard than we predict and I just don;t want to have folks sitting

around when they can be working other issues. We can try it and see...

Either way is fine with me, as I plan to attend both meetings. It seems

to me that it would make sense to have everyone on the first call, and

begin discussion of the monitoring, etc. issues once we complete the

standard discussion, which I don't believe will take too long, and then

have the second hour to discuss whatever we don't get to in the first

meeting. I think because the standard discussion should be relatively

short in this meeting, it makes sense to have the whole team on the

phone and get through as much of the package as we can in the first

meeting, and have the second to complete the discussion if need be.

Then, in subsequent meetings, where we anticipate a fuller discussion of

NAAQS issues, we can have separate meetings on monitoring and modeling,

as need be. Does that make sense to you?

I had assumed the first was on the standard and the second on the

implementation, which covers the monitoring/modeling. Whatever works

best, but when we try and do all together, we never get time for the

implementation side, so that's why we proposed 2 separate meetings.

Plus, we would not have to have all the implementation folks on the

first call if we're focusing just on the standard. Hoping to maximize

folks time as well.

I need some clarification of what we're doing on Thursday. Is the first

meeting in the morning just to discuss the standard and nothing about

monitoring, modeling and implementation? If so, we don't need a full

hour for that meeting, as it will not take us long to explain the

standard and the basis for the decision. We had thought we could use

the first meeting to go over the specifics of the entire package,

including an overview of the monitoring and implementation provisions,

and the general role to be played by modeling, and then have a further

discussion on SO2 modeling in the afternoon. Please let me know if this

makes sense to the two of you or if you want to have just a NAAQS

discussion in the morning, in which case we'll shorten the morning

meeting. Thanks.

Heidi,

Looks like most of the monitoring/implementation folks can be available

after 2pm Thursday 5/6. Do you have a preferred time between say 2pm

and 6pm?

Chet, that sounds like a good idea. Thank you for suggesting it.

Let me know if there is a time Thu 5/6 that works for your folks -- that

looks like a good day on our calendars.

Best regards,

Heidi,

Thanks for the call today. With regards to next weeks follow-up call,

it might be beneficial to have a first call on the science and standard

aspects and then a second call on any monitoring/implementation

questions. As you can imagine, the monitoring and implementation parts

are complex. If that approach works for you, let me know and we can

coordinate with you on the second call while Lydia's folks handle the

first call. We'll obviously have everyone on both calls, but since my

folks are more critical on the second call, we'd like to make sure we

schedule around their schedules as much as we can. Let me know if you

think this approach works for you.
Thanks,

Chet
