benefits discussion & questions

Heidi, I have been looking at your list.    I think we can address some
of these without discussion if my premises are correct.   Let me know
additional comments if I have not addressed your concerns at least on
some of these.   

In an effort to identify issues we'd like to cover while hopefully not

restricting further conversation, we've assembled the following list:

- Conversion to max 8 hour average for mortality studies   I sent you
minor edits to Margo's language this am.  If that is the only
consideration we should be good to go if you are comfortable with the
edits.

- PM scaling factor  need details from you

- Visibility calculations   need details from you

- 2006 dollars vs 2000 dollars   We think you are concerned that our
tables of values are stated in 2000 dollars (note, all the calculations
in the RIA reflect 2006$).   We are checking into availability of
someone ot update the values in the initial tables.   At a minimum we
can footnote those tables to indicate that the analysis uses 2006$

- UV write up  We are putting a short sentence or two together to refer
the reader to the UVb appendix.   We will do the same for the CEA
analysis.

- Section 7.5.1   need details from you

Yes, we can meet this AM as soon as we're done with the 10 AM call on

the rule, though I need to check with Neal on his availability.

Good morning Lydia,

We continue to prioritize our review the Ozone NAAQS materials.  We

would like to have a conversation asap on the Benefits; would it be

possible to meet today, given the timeline?

In an effort to identify issues we'd like to cover while hopefully not

restricting further conversation, we've assembled the following list:

- Conversion to max 8 hour average for mortality studies

- PM scaling factor

- Visibility calculations

- 2006 dollars vs 2000 dollars

- UV write up

- Section 7.5.1

Thank you, as Margo and I mentioned last week, our calendars are for the

most part available to this project and we're happy to be as flexible as

possible.
