Okay – thanks! There are also some comment bubbles, but I presume those are explanatory.

Cortney –

Per Nick Hutson, “yes”, Christian did intend to send the redline version. He referred me to the following text on the first page:

This is on the first page ....

On January 8, 2014, the EPA proposed amendments (79 FR 1430) to the regulatory text of subparts Da and KKKK to include greenhouse gas (GHG) standards for new electric generating units (EGUs). As an alternative to amendi ng proposed subparts Da and KKKK, the EPA coproposed creating a new subpart TTTT to include the proposed GHG standards. Since those

amendments have not been finalized we would have to reprint the January 8, 2014, amendments in this rulemaking and add the amendments in this proposal to the previous amendments. However, that could complicate the ability of the public to identify the proposed amendments included in this proposal. Therefore, to facilitate understanding the amendments being proposed in this proposal, the following document uses track changes to demonstrate the GHG standards for the proposed standards for modified and reconstructed EGUs on top of the existing proposed amendments from January 8, 2014.

Hopefully this clarifies Christian’s intent. If this approach is problematic for you/Interagency folks, please let me know and we can try to do it another way.

thanx!

Cortney –

I’ll need to check with Christian. I sent the version that he provided me on Friday afternoon, but I’m not sure whether he attached the wrong file, or whether the redline version was what he intended to send over. I’ve copied him on this response and we’ll get it figured out. For now, it might be best if you “hold” the redline version file until I can confirm with him that he sent me the correct version. Sorry for the confusion – we’ll get it sorted out.

thanx!bob
