TO:		Docket EPA-HQ-OAR-2010-0162

DATE:		July 14, 2011

The purpose of this memorandum is to transmit data files which were used
in the air quality modeling analyses for the final heavy-duty vehicle
greenhouse gas rule.  The air quality modeling analyses are discussed in
Section VII.D of the preamble, Chapter 8 of the Regulatory Impact
Analysis (RIA) and in the Air Quality Modeling Technical Support
Document.  Information on the air quality modeling inventories is
discussed in Chapter 5 of the RIA.
