I was able to catch up with Bryan and Lydia.  There is a concern with your 
edits which I will try to explain.  The first paragraph tried to focus on 
international emissions and natural source emissions.  Thus, the sentence 
you planned to move from the end of the first paragraph intended to tie 
that whole discussion together.  You will see that we have accepted your 
edit about different costs, while recognizing that changes in emissions 
would also influence benefit estimates as well.

The second paragraph tried to specifically address the role of PRB and the 
RIA.  Again, for balance we have accepted your edit that there is no role 
for PRB in benefits, again while recognizing that there is no role for PRB 
in our cost estimates either.

Let me know what you think about this approach.

This focus on the assessment of the incremental costs and benefits of 
attaining any alternative standard is an important difference from the 
focus of the risk assessment used in developing the standard.  For 
purposes of the Staff Paper-risk assessment, risks are estimated 
associated with just meeting recent air quality and upon just meeting the 
current and alternative standards as well as incremental reductions in 
risks in going from the current standard to more stringent alternative 
standards.  When considering risk estimates remaining upon attaining a 
given standard, EPA is only interested in the risks in excess of policy 
relevant back
ground (PRB).   PRB is defined in the ozone Criteria Document and Staff 
Paper as including (1) O3 in the U.S. from natural sources of emissions in 
the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, and (2) O3 in the U.S. from the transport of 
O3 or the transport of emissions from both natural and man-made sources, 
from outside of the U.S. and its neighboring countries (Staff Paper, 
p.2-54).   Emissions of ozone precursors from natural sources (e.g. 
isoprenes emitted from trees) and from sources outside of the U.S. are 
uncertain, as are the specific impacts those emissions will have on ozone 
concentrations in areas exceeding alternative standards.  Our models use 
available information on these emissions in generating future projections 
of baseline ozone concentrations, and our modeled reductions in U.S. 
emissions of NOx and VOC are based on these baseline levels that include 
the contribution of natural and non-U.S. emissions.  To the extent that 
these emissions contribute a greater (lesser) proportion of ozone on high 
ozone days, more (less) reductions in emissions from U.S. sources might be 
required to reduce ozone levels below alternative standard, resulting 
different costs and benefit estimates.

In contrast, the RIA only examines the incremental reduction, not the 
remaining risk, which results from changes in U.S. anthropogenic 
emissions.  The air quality modeling used to establish the baseline for 
the RIA explicitly includes contributions from natural and anthropogenic 
emissions in Canada, Mexico, and other countries abroad, as well as the 
contributions to ozone levels from natural sources in the U.S. Since the 
RIA does not attempt to estimate the risk remaining upon meeting a given 
standard, and the alternative standards are clearly above any estimate of 
PRB, there is no role for PRB in the RIA costs and benefits estimates.

Footnote to Table 3.1 on page 3.6

NOx controls are included as part of the hypothetical control scenario 
modeled in the 2006 PM NAAQS RIA.  These controls included low NOx burners 
and SNCR for industrial boilers.  Further examples can be found in Table 
3-5 (page 3-18) of the 2006 PM NAAQS RIA.

Thanks for the quick reply.  I don't understand what happened to the 2, 7, 
9 chapters but I concur the extra review time is reasonable.  Your note 
sounds hopeful, I look forward to seeing your comments soon.

Hi Ron,

Hope you had a nice weekend.

On the RIA, since we did not receive Ch 2, 7, and 9 until Monday
morning. I felt we needed to give the interagency folk an additional 24
hrs at least to review and to provide comments.  

I have been compiling a list of remaining issues --- mostly minor (in my
opinion), several may require additional discussion.  Hopefully, I'll be
able to pass you these by today COB.  

Cheers,
Rob

Just checking in and see how the chapter review is going.  I wanted to
get a sense if you thought we were going to need to meet in the next day
or so to discuss anything or you would just have some written comments
(hopefully minor!).  Any issues coming other than the UVB which we
discussed last week?

We are finishing off the 079 analysis and I hope to have the 079 numbers
cut into a draft by Friday.  Do you think you will need to review a
version with the 079 cut in?

Please give me a call or a quick e-mail, thanks.

Please forward these to Rob Johansson at OMB.

Rob, we will be sending additional chapters this afternoon, with the goal 
of getting the rest to you tomorrow.  Note that these are clean copies 
which should reflect all our discussions and some editorial changes for 
clarity and addressing OPEI comments.   Essentially, for all chapters we 
accepted your comments unless we have discussed them on the call.  There 
were some deletions which, as you indicated, did not come across in your 
PDFs, some we accepted and some we did not.  I suggest you read these 
versus the review/comment versions you sent to us to compare the changes.  
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Ron,

Just to confirm, we have yet to receive the new Chapters of 2, 7, and 9.

When do you expect those to arrive?

Rob, here is the missing piece for relative contribution language.  It 
goes in the following location of the chapter 8 I sent:

8.2 	Discussion of Results

Relative Contribution of PM benefits to total benefits

To be added, could not find e-mail with language from Bryan Hubbell.
  

Because of the relatively strong relationship between PM2.5 concentrations 
and premature mortality, PM co-benefits resulting from reductions in NOx 
emissions can make up a large fraction of total montetized benefits, 
depending on the specific PM mortality impact function used, and on the 
relative magnitude of ozone benefits, which is dependent on the specific 
ozone mortality function assumed.  PM co-benefits based on daily average 
concentrations are calculated over the entire year, while ozone related 
benefits are calculated only during the summer ozone season.  Because the 
control strategies evaluated in this RIA are assumed to operate year round 
rather than only during the ozone season, this means that PM benefits will 
accumulate during both the ozone season and the rest of the year.   

PM co-benefits account for between 13 and 99 percent of co-benefits, 
depending on the standard analyzed and on the choice of ozone and PM 
mortality functions used.  The estimate with the lowest fraction from PM 
co-benefits occurs when ozone mortality is based on the Levy et al (2005) 
study and when PM2.5 mortality is based on the function provided by 
“Expert K” from the expert elicitation.  The estimate with the highest 
fraction from PM co-benefits occurs when no ozone mortality reductions are 
included (following the assumption of no causal relationship between ozone 
and mortality) and when PM2.5 mortality is based on the function provided 
by “Expert E” from the expert elicitation.

Rob, I realized I forgot to give you a heads up on a few of your edits on 
chapter 8 which were not taken.  Obviously we can discuss these after you 
review the chapter.   I am working from your comments on WORD version of 
chapter 8 which you sent.  Your comments are in red, ours in green.

From page 9, top paragraph 

we generally understate the total benefits that would result from 
implementing additional emissions controls to fully attain the ozone NAAQS 
(which i.e., assuming that the application of control strategies would 
result in ozone reductions both at nonattaining and attaining monitors)., 
and that there are quantifiable benefits to reducing ambient ozone below 
each of the alternative standards.) 

You added in the red language as a suggestion.  We did not take this 
comment since this seems to imply that there is a threshold for effects.

From page 9, top of second paragraph

However, we note that there is additional uncertainty in the benefits 
extrapolations to the extent to which unknown controls actually achieve 
the alternative standards in some future year.These extrapolated benefits 
are uncertain, but the relative uncertainty compared to the modeled 
benefits is similar, once the underestimation bias has been taken into 
account.  The emissions and costbenefit extrapolations do not have a clear 
directional bias, however, they are much more uncertain relative to the 
modeled emissions and cost estimates, because of the lack of refined 
information about the relationship between emissions reductions and ozone 
changes in specific locations, and because of the difficulties in 
extrapolating costs along a marginal cost curve well beyond the observed 
data without accounting for shifts in the cost-curve due to improvements 
in technology or use of technologies over time.

This paragraph was about the comparing the modeled versus the 
extrapolated.  The first sentence is the only one which relates to 
benefits, the remainder of the paragraph is about the cost side so the 
deletion of the word cost and replacing it with benefits was problematic 
in the second sentence.  The sentence you added at the beginning did not 
seem to fit, as our sentence which follows indicates, we expect that the 
relative uncertainties are similar.

From page 12, bottom of #6

We did not assume any shift in the cost curve to reflect technological 
innovation.  As such, we are likely overestimating costs in the future, 
instead we provide sensitivity by selecting a high and low fixed marginal 
cost curve   

Assuming no technological innovation over the next few decades is a very 
conservative assumption which leads to an upward bias in the estimates.  

From page 13 bottom of first incomplete paragraph.

We acknowledge, however, that the costs and benefits of this rule may fall 
disproportionately across regions and may result in regionally significant 
adverse economic impacts.

It may be you are referring to California here and we have less of an 
issue with this if more focused.  As a generic statement, we would say 
that those that need to get additional reductions will pay the cost but 
also get the benefits.  However, we can not say that this change in the 
standard may result in regionally significant adverse economic impacts as 
a general statement.  Even in the case of California, it is not just this 
change in standard which leads to reduce emissions, there are numerous 
other factors (e.g. climate change, energy concerns etc) which play a 
complementary and probably more significant role.

Here are our responses, for the most part confirming what we said on the 
call.

Comment A1:  insert VSL figure into text............................OK

Comment A2 & A3:  provide updated values for health and environment 
effects of UVB............We have reviewed the literature and don't 
believe that it is clear cut to do direct addition, there are methodology 
changes which need evaluation and we don't have time to review those 
studies in detail.............No change.

The remainder of this discussion is lifted directly from the preamble of 
the proposed rule.  Since it previous had been jointly agreed to by EPA 
and OMB, we do not see a need to change this language.

In the interest of reaching quicker agreement and minimizing further 
edits, Bryan suggests going directly with the preamble language in yellow 
below plus the short opening piece on valuation.  Lets try this as a 
replacement for the earlier language which you had significant edits to.  
Thanks.

Obviously, the opening paragraph is OK to edit, the remainder being 
otherwise agreed to in the preamble.

	Passback on UV-b
	
	
	
	
	

Rather than continuing to edit specific passages, I am suggesting now that 
we simply use the language that is in the rule itself on UV-B, with an 
additional introductory paragraph that talks about valuation.  It would 
read as follows:

6.3.2.8.3 Ultraviolet Radiation

Another category of potential effects that may change in response to ozone 
reduction strategies results from the shielding provided by ozone against 
the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation (UV-B) derived from the sun.  
UV-B exposure has been linked to a number of health effects, including 
fatal and nonfatal melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers and cataracts.   
The values of $15,000 per case for non-fatal melanoma skin cancer, $5,000 
per case for non-fatal non-melanoma skin cancer, and $15,000 per case of 
cataracts have been used in analyses of stratospheric ozone depletion 
(U.S. EPA, 1999) .  Fatal cancers are valued using standard VSL estimates. 
UV-B has also been linked to ecological effects including damage to crops 
and forests.  For a more complete listing, see Table G-4 in the Benefits 
and Costs of the Clean Air Act, 1990-2010 (U.S. EPA, 1999) .  UV-B related 
health effects are also discussed in the context of stratospheric ozone in 
a 2006 report by ICF Consulting, prepared for the U.S. EPA .  The great 
majority of UV-b shielding results from naturally occurring ozone in the 
stratosphere, but the 10 percent of total “column” ozone present in the 
troposphere also contributes (NAS, 1991). A variable portion of this 
tropospheric fraction of UV-B shielding is derived from ground level or 
“smog” ozone related to anthropogenic air pollution. Therefore, strategies 
that reduce ground level ozone will, in some small measure, increase 
exposure to UV-B from the sun. 

There are many factors that influence UV-B radiation penetration to the 
earth’s surface, including latitude, altitude, cloud cover, surface 
albedo, PM concentration and composition, and gas phase pollution. Of 
these, only latitude and altitude can be defined with small uncertainty in 
any effort to assess the changes in UV-B flux that may be attributable to 
any changes in tropospheric O3 as a result of any revision to the O3 
NAAQS. Such an assessment of UV-B related health effects would also need 
to take into account human habits, such as outdoor activities (including 
age- and occupation-related exposure patterns), dress and skin care to 
adequately estimate UV-B exposure levels.  However, little is known about 
the impact of these factors on individual exposure to UVB.

Moreover, detailed information does not exist regarding other factors that 
are relevant to assessing changes in disease incidence, including: type 
(e.g., peak or cumulative) and time period (e.g., childhood, lifetime, 
current) of exposures related to various adverse health outcomes (e.g., 
damage to the skin, including skin cancer; damage to the eye, such as 
cataracts; and immune system suppression); wavelength dependency of 
biological responses; and interindividual variability in UV-B resistance 
to such health outcomes. Beyond these well recognized adverse health 
effects associated with various wavelengths of UV radiation, the Criteria 
Document (section 10.2.3.6) also discusses protective effects of UV-B 
radiation. Recent reports indicate the necessity of UV-B in producing 
vitamin D, and that vitamin D deficiency can cause metabolic bone disease 
among children and adults, and may also increase the risk of many common 
chronic diseases (e.g., type I diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis) as well 
as the risk of various types of cancers. Thus, the Criteria Document 
concludes that any assessment that attempts to quantify the consequences 
of increased UV-B exposure on humans due to reduced ground-level O3 must 
include consideration of both negative and positive effects. However, as 
with other impacts of UV-B on human health, this beneficial effect of UV-B 
radiation has not been studied in sufficient detail to allow for a 
credible health benefits or risk assessment. In conclusion, the effect of 
changes in surface-level O3 concentrations on UV-induced health outcomes 
cannot yet be critically assessed within reasonable uncertainty (Criteria 
Document, p. 10-36).

Please send this over to Rob and Margo and get their reaction.  The 
highlighted portion is directly from the Federal Register (p.78-79).

Rob, consistent with the last e-mail I sent a few hours ago, I need to see 
a version of your comments which shows all changes, however ugly it 
looks.  We tried to convert the version of chapter 6 you sent us in PDF 
into Word and it came back a mess.  I need to have you send us Word 
versions, this approach to sending PDFs is not working right now.

Rob, thanks for the chapter.  Also, your note explains some confusion I 
had when I reviewed the Executive Summary comments from you yesterday.  
There was some significant text movement and I could not track it because 
of your approach to the PDF as you describe below.  For both our purposes 
of understanding your changes and the docket, I really need to get a Word 
version of all your comments in redline which shows the movement of those 
larger deletions.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Ron,

Here's Chapter 6.  We are still working on the unquantified effects
section which includes UV-B edits. 

Cheers,
Rob

PS Note that some of the larger deletions in these pdf chapters were
accepted --- so not all show up as redline strikeouts.

On Chapter 5 appendix --- I assume you'll be taking out EMPAX and
working on strengthening discussion of continuous monitoring.

Rob, I just realized that the e-mail I forwarded earlier today did not 
include the edits from OPEI which came the next day.  Please consider this 
version instead.

At the time that EPA established the regulatory baseline -- to capture how 
existing rules affect the emissions inventory over time even in the 
absence of this new NAAQS standard -- EPA focused on information which was 
readily available in the emission inventories and other data sources.  
Typically, a RIA analysis baseline includes only reductions from final 
rules and not reductions from regulatory proposals or other actions being 
contemplated.  However, for this analysis, EPA did not include the 
recently promulgated Renewable Fuel Standard, due to a lack of readily 
available quantitative information.  In addition, EPA did include 
reductions from some upcoming rules in an attempt to better characterize 
reductions which we anticipate to occur in the future (e.g. Ocean Going 
Vessel Rule).  For the analysis to support the Final Rule, EPA will be 
using an updated emission inventory and improved models and sets of 
control information.  The baseline for the analysis will include only and 
all promulgated rules, including the Renewable Fuel Standard rule.  Any 
potential reductions resulting from proposed or upcoming rules will be 
discussed separately.

It is not very clear cut on the impacts.  Below is an abstracted piece 
from the public fact sheet on the April 2007 RFS rule 
(http://www.epa.gov/otaq/renewablefuels/420f07019.htm).    It is not clear 
where the increases would occur, we need to have a discussion with OTAQ to 
figure out if they make a differnence (it sounds like not).  Anyway, I 
have included the following paragraph into the RIA specifically to address 
the RFS in the final rule:

"At the time that EPA established the baseline of rules to be included in 
this analysis, the focus was on information which was readily available in 
the emission inventories and other data sources.   Typically, a RIA 
analysis baseline includes only reductions from final rules and not 
reductions from regulatory proposals.  For this analysis, we also included 
reductions from some proposals to best characterize reductions which we 
anticipate to occur in the future (e.g. Ocean Going Vessel Rule).  
However, EPA did not include a complete set of all proposals, including 
the recently promulgated Renewable Fuel Standard, due to a lack of readily 
available information.  For the final analysis, EPA will be using an 
updated emission inventory and improved models and sets of control 
information.  The base case for the analysis will include all promulgated 
rules, and any potential reductions resulting from proposed rules will be 
separately highlighted in the RIA analysis baseline."

I hope this will cover it for this proposal.  Let me know.

 
Language from fact sheet on RFS rule:

The RIA provides an analysis of the energy, emissions, air quality, and 
economic impacts of expanding the use of renewable fuels in comparison to 
a reference case of 4 billion gallons of renewable fuel use which 
represents 2004 conditions projected out to 2012.  Depending on the volume 
of renewable fuel anticipated to be used in 2012, EPA estimates that this 
transition to renewable fuels will reduce petroleum consumption between 
2.0 and 3.9 billion gallons or roughly 0.8 to 1.6 percent of the petroleum 
that would otherwise be used by the transportation sector.
With regard to emissions impacts, carbon monoxide emissions from 
gasoline-powered vehicles and equipment will be reduced between 0.9 and 
2.5 percent. Emissions of benzene (a mobile source air toxic) will be 
reduced between 1.8 and 4.0 percent. Further, the use of renewable fuel 
will reduce carbon dioxide equivalent greenhouse gas emissions between 8.0 
and 13.1 million metric tons, about 0.4 to 0.6 percent of the anticipated 
greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector in the United 
States in 2012. 
At the same time, other vehicle emissions may increase as a result of 
greater renewable fuel use. Nationwide, EPA estimates an increase in total 
emissions of volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides (VOC + NOx) 
between 41,000 and 83,000 tons. However, the effects will vary 
significantly by region. Areas that already are using ethanol will 
experience little or no change in emissions or air quality. However, those 
areas that experience a substantial increase in ethanol may see an 
increase in VOC emissions between 4 and 5 percent and an increase in NOx 
emissions between 6 and 7 percent from gasoline powered vehicles and 
equipment.
The societal cost to produce a gallon of gasoline is estimated to rise 
between 0.5 cent and 1.1 cents, though the presence of the excise tax 
credit for ethanol will result in a net savings for fuel customers at the 
pump of 0.4 to 0.7 cents per gallon. Net U.S. farm income is estimated to 
increase by between $2.6 and $5.4 billion.

Hi Ron,
 
Have you crafted any language to discuss how VOC and NOX might be affected 
by increased use of ethanol?
 
Also, are you talking about how this might make extrapolated controls more 
necessary; i.e., if RFS increases use of ethanol wouldn’t that increase 
VOC and NOX emissions everywhere that gasoline is being combusted?
 
Let me know on this asap, there have been several queries on this question.
 
Thanks,
Rob

Thanks for the conversation time yesterday.  In an effort to get a jump on 
finishing up with you by COB on the 28th, here are our responses to a few 
of the questions which involve new language.

A)   In questions 2, 4 and 13, Margo has requested inclusion in the Ex 
Summ of some bullets on uncertainties in the analysis as well as a 
specific statement about the proportion of the benefits which result from 
PM reductions.  Here is a quick shot at the format and some of the issues, 
please let us know what other issues you would like included in a similar 
abbreviated format.  This format should meet both of our goals for making 
the Ex Summ a tight presentation and a more complete characterization.  
Note that each bullet will also include a cross reference to the section 
of the RIA where it is discussed.

B)   For questions 16 and 21, you expressed an interest in a fuller 
discussion of UVB and nitrogen passive fertilization amongst other 
issues.  Bryan has gone back and pulled our compromise language used in 
teh Heavy Duty Diesel RIA on these topics.  We believe that this language 
still reflects current science and we would put these discussions into the 
benefits chapter of the RIA.  Since this is previously vetted language, it 
should represent the joint OMB/EPA view and not require editing.

Note that Bryan has reviewed the 2006 Strat ozone study which you referred 
to in question 16.  He did not see any references to trop ozone which 
would change the way we address this issue.  

For reference, here is what Bryan found

This report is focused on measuring the impacts of reductions in decreases 
in ozone-depletion occurring from bans on ozone-depleting substances.  The 
focus is completely on stratospheric ozone.  Tropospheric ozone is 
mentioned only two times in the report:

"Step 3. Changes in ground-level UV radiation are estimated.

Based on projections of stratospheric ozone concentration, UV radiation 
intensities at the Earth’s surface were estimated by latitude, month, 
year, and time of day using the Tropospheric Ultraviolet-Visible radiation 
model (TUV, v3.9a, as described in Madronich 1993a, Madronich 1993b). The 
TUV model generates look-up tables6 (see Section 5.1 for more detail) of 
weighted solar UV irradiance at sea level as a function of solar zenith 
angle and projected total column ozone based on the following assumptions: 
obstruction-free and cloud-free skies; standard profiles of air density, 
temperature, and tropospheric ozone (USSA 1976); typical continental 
aerosols (Elterman 1968); and 10 percent isotropic ground reflectivity."

"9.1.2 Translating EESC Concentrations into Stratospheric Column Ozone

From a statistical standpoint, the largest source of uncertainty in the 
AHEF is introduced by the limited data points available for use in 
predicting changes in column ozone resulting from changes in EESC. The 
reason these factors are statistically uncertain is that they are 
estimated from a very limited data set of satellite-measured stratospheric 
ozone concentrations and estimated EESC for the years that stratospheric 
ozone data are available from NASA's Nimbus-7 Total Ozone Mapping 
Spectrometer (TOMS) (i.e., 1978 to 1993). Relatively few observations in a 
data set can lead to large standard errors in any statistical analysis.

Furthermore, UV radiation changes resulting from ozone depletion and 
ground level pollution (i.e., tropospheric ozone generation) are more 
accurately measured by spectrally resolved ground-based monitors than by 
satellite measurements on which the AHEF currently relies (this is 
discussed further in Section 10.5). Satellite data are not as accurate for 
measuring ozone concentrations at ground-level as they are at higher 
altitudes because of the coupling between UV absorption by ozone and UV 
scattering by aerosols and particulate matter. These considerations are 
important when the ozone perturbations occur in the lower-to-middle 
troposphere, where soot and other aerosols are prevalent. When ozone 
perturbations occur in the stratosphere (i.e., well above the region where 
scattering occurs), absorption predominates. Thus, the altitude at which 
ozone perturbations occur can affect UV radiation at the ground level. 
These effects are not well captured by satellite data and hence, ground 
level UV monitoring data could help to improve modeling estimates, 
particularly in urban areas."

c)  In questions 19 and 20, you raise the issue of the policy relevant 
background (PRB) and international emissions.  The enclosed is a 
description of how the risk assesment treats the PRB in contrast with the 
RIA and why PRB is not an issue for the RIA.  The second paragraph 
addresses the international emissions issue.  We had intended to include 
this in the last round into chapter 2 but I mis-directed the e-mail and it 
did not get incorporated.

Talk to you @ 9:00am on Monday.  Hope you got good rest over the weekend.

There are many reasons why the test and convenience costs are different 
today then projected in the IM240 TSD back in 1992.  They include:

The analysis done for the IM240 TSD assumed that, as required by the Clean 
Air Act, all enhanced I/M programs would be centralized, test only and 
realize the wide array of benefits of such (lower test costs, lower 
convenience costs, greater emission reduction benefits).   In fact, only 
two areas switched to centralized and the rest remained decentralized, 
test-and-repair.  One centralized area switched to decentralized.  The 
costs of decentralized I/M are much higher (e.g., $50-$70 per test in PA 
and CA rather than $20 per test assumed back in 1992).  The assumptions 
EPA made about the cost of centralized, enhanced testing were reasonably 
borne out in those areas that chose that approach.
The analysis in 1992 looked at many factors - test costs, fuel economy 
benefits, convenience costs, repair costs.  The analysis today is only 
considering test and convenience costs.
The anaylsis done in the IM240 TSD was for the year 2000.  The analysis 
today is for 2006.  There are more cars in the U.S. today and even though 
some I/M areas have stopped testing, others have started or expanded.  For 
example, North Carolina - on its own - expanded its program far beyond the 
areas required to do enhanced I/M.
The 1992 analysis assumed that, on average, motorists would spend about 45 
minutes in the inspection cycle process.   This analysis assumed two hours 
mainly because it takes longer to get a test in a decentralized 
environment.  In the well run centralized programs, and there are notable 
exceptions, the 45 minute estimate is a good one.   Some might argue that 
2 hours is a bit high so we are revising the analysis to include a range 
of 1-2 hours.
Some states chose not to switch to biennial testing, which again was 
another assumption made in 1992.   The reasons for this vary from state to 
state.  The costs of annual testing is substantially higher than biennial 
testing.
Finally, the test costs used in the Ozone RIA are based on actual test 
volumes and costs in 2006.  Note that these numbers are undergoing review 
by the states and could change somewhat but are in the ball park.

OTAQ is looking for the IM240 RIA now.  It is quite dated, roughly 10 to 
15 years old so the comparisons may be out of date.  I am ready to set up 
a discussion with you and OTAQ staff if you need further clarification 
beyond the e-mail I sent the other day.

Hi Ron,

You didn't seem sure in your response and I know how busy you are, so I
figured I could look up the numbers myself.  There are some pretty big
estimates in that section so I wanted to confirm them.  I had asked Art
Rios about checking into this and was told that they had forwarded the
request on and would get back to me.  As I was still waiting to see how
these projected savings were used in Ch5, I thought I could dig through
it myself rather than ask you to walk me through the calcs.

Thanks for the letter and for the requests.
Rob

Please call me soon as you can, I did not think the document was that far 
away.  I know there are some XXX in spots in Chapter 8 which are being 
fixed now and some final QA going on (including some formatting) but there 
should not be anything major.

Just to be sure, could you send me the RIA from the IM240.  I believe
that we asked for that over a week ago.  

Also, can you send me the SAB advisory letter from June 8th that you are
referring to in Chapter 5?  Is it on your website?

Cheers,
Rob

I think the numbers are consistent with the IM rules.  However, we did not 
catch that $X/ton, I have asked my mobile expert to fix that on Monday, he 
is not in today.

Hi Ron,
 
I have a question about the estimated costs and benefits of continuous IM 
from the appendix 5 ozone RIA.
 
We have a recollection here that the RIA for the IM240 rule estimated 
costs at a level much lower than the approx. $680 million annual costs 
used in the ozone RIA.
 
Can you make sure that you are basing your estimate off the IM240 rule RIA.
 
Thanks,
Rob

I just finished talking to Lydia about the 079 analysis.  We think a 
footnote to the following paragraph from page 8 of chapter 1 meets her 
agreement with Art Fraas.  Just for clarity sake, we believe that the 
agreement covers an analysis of 079 similar to that done for 075 and 065, 
using an extrapolated approach from existing data and analyses.

"This RIA presents benefit and cost estimates for both ends of the 
proposal range of 0.070 to 0.075 ppm.  It also assesses the costs and 
benefits of attaining one more stringent standard option (0.065 ppm).*  
Since EPA is not considering loosening the standard, the least stringent 
option to the proposed range is the current standard itself.  Since this 
RIA presents an analysis of the costs and benefits incremental to the 
current standard, retaining the current standard would have no additional 
incremental costs or benefits. "

*  EPA is working on a complementary analysis of one additional less 
stringent standard option (0.079 ppm) which was not completed in time to 
be included in this document.  This analysis will be placed in the ozone 
NAAQS RIA docket by mid July 2007.

Please let me know if you have any comments.  We can incorporate this 
language in the final RIA chapter next week.

Hi Ron,
 
Where are you all with the RIA rewrite?  I plan to send out several if not 
all chapters this evening, with any remainder tomorrow.  Per Margie's 
voicemail, I would prefer to send clean copies instead of redline since 
the number of changes has been substantial, a redline is nearly 
unintelligible.
 
Looking forward to next week’s deadline, I’d like to see what you’ve done 
as soon as possible in response to comments and requests for further 
discussion.  The majority of the comments I have been getting on the 
chapters are being addressed in the new draft.  Where we have issues or 
concerns, I have been sending you separate responses.  I have a writeup 
addressing the DOC comments from the other day which I will send in a few 
minutes.
 
Have you made sure that the benefit and cost tables are presented with 
discounts of 3 and 7%?  Here is the short answer:

o ozone benefits occur in the year in which the air quality change occurs, 
thus no lag or discounting

o PM2.5 benefits are derived from benefit per ton estimates discounted at 
3%.  We note in the RIA that the benefits discounted at 7% are likely to 
be about 15% lower.  Given all the uncertainties in this analysis, we did 
not put together the separate 7% table, we are running over 50 tables in 
the benefits chapter already.

o the discount rates for the control sectors vary.  For the majority of 
the larger nonstationary sources, we use 3 and 7% where there exists the 
needed capital cost data and equipment life (consistent with what we did 
in the PM RIA).  For area sources, the cost info is only available in 
annualized cost/ton terms.  For these we use a rate of 7%, consistent with 
our practice in NSPS and MACT rules.  Mobile source controls are presented 
at 7%.  EGU costs have a different rate, which they have justified in the 
CAIR rule.

 
Cheers,
Rob

$Revisions:  06/14/2007 02:25:33 PM

It is not very clear cut on the impacts.  Below is an abstracted piece 
from the public fact sheet on the April 2007 RFS rule 
(http://www.epa.gov/otaq/renewablefuels/420f07019.htm).    It is not clear 
where the increases would occur, we need to have a discussion with OTAQ to 
figure out if they make a differnence (it sounds like not).  Anyway, I 
have included the following paragraph into the RIA specifically to address 
the RFS in the final rule:

"At the time that EPA established the baseline of rules to be included in 
this analysis, the focus was on information which was readily available in 
the emission inventories and other data sources.   Typically, a RIA 
analysis baseline includes only reductions from final rules and not 
reductions from regulatory proposals.  For this analysis, we also included 
reductions from some proposals to best characterize reductions which we 
anticipate to occur in the future (e.g. Ocean Going Vessel Rule).  
However, EPA did not include a complete set of all proposals, including 
the recently promulgated Renewable Fuel Standard, due to a lack of readily 
available information.  For the final analysis, EPA will be using an 
updated emission inventory and improved models and sets of control 
information.  The base case for the analysis will include all promulgated 
rules, and any potential reductions resulting from proposed rules will be 
separately highlighted in the RIA analysis baseline."

I hope this will cover it for this proposal.  Let me know.

 
Language from fact sheet on RFS rule:

The RIA provides an analysis of the energy, emissions, air quality, and 
economic impacts of expanding the use of renewable fuels in comparison to 
a reference case of 4 billion gallons of renewable fuel use which 
represents 2004 conditions projected out to 2012.  Depending on the volume 
of renewable fuel anticipated to be used in 2012, EPA estimates that this 
transition to renewable fuels will reduce petroleum consumption between 
2.0 and 3.9 billion gallons or roughly 0.8 to 1.6 percent of the petroleum 
that would otherwise be used by the transportation sector.
With regard to emissions impacts, carbon monoxide emissions from 
gasoline-powered vehicles and equipment will be reduced between 0.9 and 
2.5 percent. Emissions of benzene (a mobile source air toxic) will be 
reduced between 1.8 and 4.0 percent. Further, the use of renewable fuel 
will reduce carbon dioxide equivalent greenhouse gas emissions between 8.0 
and 13.1 million metric tons, about 0.4 to 0.6 percent of the anticipated 
greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector in the United 
States in 2012. 
At the same time, other vehicle emissions may increase as a result of 
greater renewable fuel use. Nationwide, EPA estimates an increase in total 
emissions of volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides (VOC + NOx) 
between 41,000 and 83,000 tons. However, the effects will vary 
significantly by region. Areas that already are using ethanol will 
experience little or no change in emissions or air quality. However, those 
areas that experience a substantial increase in ethanol may see an 
increase in VOC emissions between 4 and 5 percent and an increase in NOx 
emissions between 6 and 7 percent from gasoline powered vehicles and 
equipment.
The societal cost to produce a gallon of gasoline is estimated to rise 
between 0.5 cent and 1.1 cents, though the presence of the excise tax 
credit for ethanol will result in a net savings for fuel customers at the 
pump of 0.4 to 0.7 cents per gallon. Net U.S. farm income is estimated to 
increase by between $2.6 and $5.4 billion.

Hi Ron,
 
Have you crafted any language to discuss how VOC and NOX might be affected 
by increased use of ethanol?
 
Also, are you talking about how this might make extrapolated controls more 
necessary; i.e., if RFS increases use of ethanol wouldn’t that increase 
VOC and NOX emissions everywhere that gasoline is being combusted?
 
Let me know on this asap, there have been several queries on this question.
 
Thanks,
Rob

Hi Ron,
 
A couple more comments below on the RIA
 
Cheers,
Rob
 
1.  Nox emissions in 2002 (EPA Trends Report) indicate 21 million tons NOX 
emissions in 2002.  Based on RIA analysis, CAAA will reduce Nox emissions 
to less than 10 million tons in 2020 and will just be able to meet 0.084 
standard (except some California counties and a few other areas).  The RIA 
suggests that an additional 1 million tons of Nox reductions, coming 
mainly from the nonEGU sector, will be the available known controls 
available in 2020.  The analysis suggests that there is a large amount of 
extrapolated Nox emissions needed to achieve 0.070 ppm full attainment.  
Please indicate the amount of extrapolated Nox emission reductions and how 
this can achieve a 14 ppm Ozone emission reduction with 1 million tons + 
extrapolated tons reduction.  see chapter 4...in particular the Table in 
section 4.4
2.  Is this rulemaking realistically portraying ability to achieve targets 
based on such a small incremental reduction in Nox used to achieve the 
0.070 ppm target when such a large amount is needed to achieve 0.084 ppm 
reduction targets.  Based on 1997 NAAQS and Nox emissions achieved since 
then, how well does the ppm ozone reduction correlate with these Nox 
reductions?  I think that the discussion in chapter 4 on the development 
of the impact ratios and the extrapolated tons addresses this.  I think 
our modeling underlying the analysis strongly supports the relationship.

Rob, we got some background on the EGU impacts, as you can see, they are 
very small.  I think this would imply that we are still consistent with 
our EO statement as written.  Please let me know if you have more 
questions.

As for the measures of impact, some good indicators are:  Extent of coal 
retirements, change in generation mix, and electricity retail prices. They 
are all small.

1. How much more retirements in the control case compared to the base 
case: Very small/negligible.

2. How much electricity retail prices change: Not more than 1%.

Change in Wholesale Electricity Prices (mills/kWh)
Prices are in mills/kWh (numbers in parenthesis are the average)
OTC                                               
LADCO                                        Rest of CAIR
-0.15 to 0.26 (0.06)	-0.13 to 0.40 (0.15)	-0.24 to 0.01 (-0.09)

3. How much generation mix change: 11 GW increase in coal (equivalent to 
0.5% of coal, 0.25% of total generation) and corresponding decrease in 
oil/gas generation.

Hi Ron and Art
Not sure if I got Art’s email right.
Anyways.  Please comment in Chapter 5 about how increase in coal energy 
output for the East is consistent with known control on EGU trading.
Also, please comment on how table 5.5 is consistent with your statements 
about Executive Order 13211: Actions that Significantly Affect Energy 
Supply, Distribution or Use.  It would seem that table 5.5 would suggest 
this rule is “…significantly affect energy supply, distribution, or use…” 
when coupled with the known controls for EGU.
 
Cheers,
Rob

I wanted to quickly review our agreement on the use of the EMPAX results 
in the ozone NAAQS RIA.

We have agreed to pull that portion of the cost chapter covering the EMPAX 
results for the modeled controls and place it into an appendix.  We will 
remove that portion of the total costs attributed to the economic impacts 
of the modeled controls as well (thus, the partial attainment costs drop 
from $7.1 to $3.9 billion).  We will indicate in the body of the RIA that 
we did not include the economic impacts portion of the modeled control 
costs because we were not able to do a similar calculation for the 
extrapolated cost portion, thus allowing for more of an apples to apples 
comparison (recognizing that there are obviously differences as noted 
elsewhere between the modeled and extrapolated costs).

Additionally, as I indicated, I will cite in the RIA the June 8th letter 
of our Science Advisory Board (SAB) Section 812 Council which raises 
questions on the appropriateness of estimating the cost of extrapolated 
tons (see the response to charge question 2a).  I will state that we will 
evaluate this advice as we design the final ozone NAAQS RIA analysis.  
Enclosed is a copy of the letter to Administrator Johnson, including a 
list of the members of the Council.

Please let me know if this is inconsistent with your memory of our 
conversation.  Thanks.

Hi Ron,
 
Chapter 4:
 
Table 4.1:  include results for all regions.
 
Section 4.1.2:
Please provide discussion of why you selected a 200 km radius.  Please 
discuss how the extrapolated tons would change if you assumed a smaller 
radius; i.e., if the number of areas increased.  Please discuss how the 
200 km radius is affected by state borders.  Please discuss how the 200 km 
radius is affected by natural boundaries (Great Lakes, Rocky Mountains, 
Oceans, etc).  Please add note that states a sensitivity analysis of 
alternative assumptions regarding the 200 km radius will be conducted in 
the final RIA.
 
Section 4.2:
Please provide discussion of how higher/lower impact ratios will affect 
the resulting extrapolated tons estimate. 
Please provide discussion that regional specific impact ratios would 
likely be more appropriate to use.
 
Please provide a statement that notes that regionally disaggregated impact 
ratios will be conducted for the final RIA.
 
Cheers,
Rob

Hi Ron,

See my correction email.  I have indicated that the call in number for
FRI 10-11am is the same as tomorrow's.  Can you make sure that is
correct?

Can you give me some possible times?  On the face of it an extra hour on

Rob, we are prepared to discuss this response to the question about the 
difference in the treatment of the policy relevant background in the risk 
assessment versus the RIA which was raised last week.  Please distribute 
prior to our meeting today.  Thanks.

Here is a representation of the new format of the benefits table 
reflecting the inclusion of the expert elicitation range and the deletion

I just sent the draft ozone RIA benefits chapter to Eileen Pritchard in 
OPEI for transmittal to you.  Given the lateness of the hour, it seems 
likely that you will not see it before Monday.  Please let me know if you 
don't see it by Monday noon.  Thanks.
