Re: Need some additional information from regions on title V narrowing

Juan,

This is to confirm that Puerto Rico should be moved to the no-narrowing group because they presently don't have the legal authority to regulated GHG's in their title V program.  Although they are in the process of revising their regulations to obtain this authority, this change will not occur by January 2, 2011.  We don't expect to have these regulations in place until March/April of 2011.  Please see the attached email from Luis Sierra, Air Director at the PREQB, for their time-table.  If you have any questions or need any additional information, please give me a call at (212) 637-4074.

Umesh:

My apologies for the delay.  We are waiting for the Public Hearing Office to assign date of the hearing.  Once we obtain the date, there will be around 5 days for Notice, 30 days for comments, 1 day for public hearing, 30 days for public hearing report, 5-10 days for Governing Board approval and 5-10 days for submission to State Department and 1-5 days for submissions to EPA.  Since we have been unable to obtain the date, I could only provide with time-table instead of dates.  As soon as we have a date confirmed for the public hearing, we will provide more accurate information.

Also, I want to mention that based on EPA comments, EQB substantially modify the amendments.  We are including the document that was sent for publication. Any comments from EPA will be incorporated as part of the public hearing process.
