 Hi Christine,

Sam asked me to send you a response draft that provides edits and explanations with regards to all of the comments we received from interagency review.  Please note that I marked our responses with "EPA RESPONSE" in the margin comments, and the attached version is fully updated and shows you redline of the changes we made in response to interagency comments.  This is now the latest version of the ozone supplemental preamble and rule text.

Subject: TR ozone supplemental rule - updated preamble with KS SIP tweaks

Hi Christine,

Per your conversation with Sam, here is an updated version of the preamble showing you only the latest changes that Sam explained in track changes compared to the version he previously sent you at the end of last week.  The file should show you the tweaks to the Kansas SIP explanation on pages 26-27 of the document, as well as a limited set of typo corrections in tables near the end of the preamble (pages 41 and 68-70).  Sam asked me to send this to you as you and he work toward the goal of clearing the package tomorrow, which I greatly appreciate!

Per our conversation, please find attached an updated redline strikeout version of subject preamble and rule and the TSD regarding the state emissions budgets.  I will have Jeb send you early tomorrow the original spreadsheets that led us to the budget tables in the TSD that you also requested.

Thank you very much for moving forward on the review of this regulatory package for us.

Best regards,

Sonja is ready with Jeb to talk with you about the assurance provision changes.  Who should she and Jeb call to discuss this, and could you recommend a good time to call. Thanks.
