-------------------------- 8. Utah DAQ: Lori, Chris is much quieter than you are. C an he get closer to the mic? 9. ellen wildermann: cuts out a little (darn) 10 . ellen wildermann: Chris sounds good to me 11. Paul Miller: W Ill EPA be providing the states with translated mass

- based goals as it has with the rate

- based goals? 12. Ana Ortega: How does EPA account for the cost of grid im provements needed for a large increase in RE 13. Eddy M oore: You said that EE me asures from today forward can be credited for CO2 reductions but not RE. H ow about net

- metered rooftop solar, which usually operates as a reduction in demand? S houldn't that be treated like a long

- lived EE measure? 14. guest 6: Could EPA provide some specific EM&V examples from states that have been submitted and EPA has approved? 15. guest 6: Are there any less expe nsive modeling tools than IPM for projecting future reductions associated with a 111(d) plan? 16. David: Do the EE programs/measures apply to the power plants ONLY or can the State Plans include other EE programs/measures that have been implemented by anot her organization (e.g. State Energy Offices) for local buildings, schools. etc.? 17. Kyrik Rombough: If a state's policy prom otes renewable energy in another state and can take credit for it, does the state the renewable energy is produced also get credit? Or does this occur only if the two states agree to a regional plan? 18. Guest 5: W hy

are new NGCC being considered in 111(d) plans? Are they subject to both 111(b) and (d)? 19. Theresa P.: The speaker said the EGUs would need to report to the states each ye ar and the states would need to include in their annual reports to EPA?? 20. SESARM: W hich states are already meeting their energy efficiency targets? 21. Jasm ineMehta: If only emission reductions occurring during a plan period would be recognized, what is the incentive to do anything that would result in emissions reductions prior to 2020?

22. Tom Easterly: It seems like the burden of accounting for E E and RE in the rate based plan makes it undesireable, but without a rate based plan, how can a State accomodate growth that could be met by its existing fleet? 23. Matt Butler: Ohio PUC: H ow do states get information on generation, emissions, EE, and RE from mu nicipalities and co

-ops that they do not regulate? 24. MontanaDEQ: Can a currently unaffected uni t become an affected unit after a plan is approved? 25. Karin Landsberg: For ye ars 2031 and 2 032, a state could mi ss the three ye ar average goal because of em issions/activity in 2028 and 2029 before the final goal is in place. Could you please address thi s issue. 26. Joy Manning: On slide 15, Treatment of Existing State programs, you mentioned that Renewables installed prior to June 2014 would not be recognized f or emission reductions even in 2020. D id I understand that correctly? 27. Lewis Mills: can a state use a rate approach for part of the state and a m ass approach for another part? 28. SESARM: If there are requirements in an IRP, does EPA consider them federally enforceable? 29. Matt Butler: Ohio PUC: W ill the EPA be using NEMS as a total to measure compliance? 30. Blair Fink: Please define "enforceable". I s this contemplated this to be state law, Public Service Commission o r Environmental Agency order, or for co

-ops & munis

- board decisions? 31. Matt Butler: Ohio PUC: I s the 30% decrease to be a chieved in 2030 based off of the EPA eGRID data? 32. Aditya Jayam Prabhakar: If we use rate based goals

- is there still a requirement to reduce actual tonnage of carbon em issions? A particular state may b e able to generate energ y at the proposed rate, but if it were to increase its generation, then there is no tonnage reduction. Can EPA throw some light on this, please. 33. Nancy

P ritchett: Can a state develop and propose an interim standard that differs from EPA's proposal? 34. JasmineMehta: If a renewab le energy source is located on tribal land and the RE electricity is sold to a utility to serve load off of tribal land, can the State include those renewables in its plan? 35. AR DEQ: For distributive generation, what mechanism could you use to count the avoided generation for the business or home's electricity use since net metering programs only account for what goes into the grid beyond what the business or home uses? 36. Angela Dickens: How do yo u propose to handle me asures instituted after the “baseli ne” year (2012) but before publication of the proposal? T hese measures would not have been included in calculation of the goal but as discussed, would also not count towards compliance. F or example, EE measures installed in 2013 would not have been counted in the baseline but would likely still be avoiding generation in 2020. Wo uldn’t it be better to count measures installed after January 1, 2013? 37. Guest 4: W ould reduction in em issions in non

-affected EGU's be used to contribute to the state's goal? If so, what would that look like? 38. D Bolin: How is remaining useful life factored? F or exam ple, our state has put investments in for MATS com pliance and useful life was part of the computation. 39. Aditya Jayam Prabhakar : W ithin an y given state, some utilities may be contributing more towards the em issions than others. Are all utilities within a state subject to the same level of stringency of proposed goals? 40. Joelle Burleson: W hat negative impact from heat rate improvem ent is expected on criteria pollutants? 41. David Coup: Please provide some more details about how you entered CO2 intensity goal constraints into IPM for the state and regional policy runs. W hat information does the model draw upon to calculate conforma nce with these constraiints (e.g., emissions from affected units/(efficiency + renewable generation+ generation from affected fossil units+ 6% of gen from nukes)? 42. Guest 4: In a state with significant hydro resources...if the compliance measurement pe riod is during a period of drought or other significant natural events, would EPA provide some sort of a waiver or is there a way to normalize the measured results based on weather. 43. JasmineMehta: Can states rely on the GHG emissions already required to be reported to EPA rather than mandating new GHG emission reporting systems? 44. Nancy Pritchett: W hat TSD or soreadsheeet contains EPA's load projection for each year from 2020

- 2030? k nowing this will allow us to evaluate whether the em ission standard or mass based lim it approach mi ght be preferable. 45. Steven Jenks: How do States demonstrate conformance with their respective goals since EPA has not proposed a standard formula? F or example, can states p ropose to use RE/EE to reduce CO2 in the num erator as opposed to the increasing the MW h's in the denominator? o r will there be a standard uniform conformance equation all states must abide by?

46. Ann Parrish: For a state with a nucluer power plant, how can recent or futrue capacity increases at the p lant be used in meeting the state goals? 47. Greg Nothstein: The other issue with states with siginificant hydro resources is that the 2012 baseline ye ar may

not be representative. Can the baseline be established using 2011
