	RE: Reminder: CUE Methyl Bromide Final Rulemaking:  Informal Draft
	
						
	History:	
		This message has been replied to.			

Amanda,
Thanks much for letting us join in on the annual methyl bromide end of
year holiday rulemaking festivities.  See attached DOS redline comments,
and a few additional points:

1.  There is a reference to putting something in the docket that talks
about what happened at the 2007 MOP.  We would like to see that
document.  

2.  For the carry-over discussion, it would be better to lead with the
domestic and follow with the international arguments.

3.  I didn't see the Chemicals Weapons Convention language until
recently and need to hear back from another State office with competency
in that area.   I took an initial stab at altering the language but may
have to get back to you on that once I get a more definitive response
from the CWC folks.  It's a red herring, but want to get the language
right.  If EPA already did some reaching out to the right folks on this,
would appreciate their comments.

Thanks to EPA for all the drafting, its a real page turner.  Look
forward to chatting later this week.  Many thanks,

John T.
