Subject:	tentative agenda for the second SBAR Panel Outreach meeting for
the Utility GHG NSPS Rulemaking - Wednesday, July 13, 2011

Dear Small Entity Representatives:

Below is a tentative agenda for our meeting this Wednesday, July 13 from
1:30pm - 5:00pm eastern time.  Please note that I have stretched the
meeting to run until 5, rather than the originally scheduled ending time
of 4:30.  We have access to the room until 5, and we wanted to
accommodate the meeting topics that were suggested by Theresa Pugh and
Rae Cronmiller (see Theresa's 7/6 email, I believe you all were cc'd
on).

TENTATIVE AGENDA - July 13, 2011

1:30pm - 5:00pm eastern

1:30    Welcome/Introductions/Allotment of Time in Agenda*  (15 min)

1:45    Discussion of SER suggested issues (2 hrs)

Limited use boilers with limited opportunities for efficient
improvements due to NSR complications for conventional pollutants (even
though we believe that the pollution control exclusion applies in the
context of NSPS).

Variances per kwH and heat rates over monthly and annual operations
(six  real world case studies by utilities)

Why age of plant is significant in setting any NSPS for CO2   
(Wyandotte)

A brief presentation on legal issues on NSPS for CO2 (Bill Wehrum)

Why knowing the end game on biomass is critical before proposing NSPS
for EPA and utilities (Holland)

Why municipal government electric utilities are different from other
utilities. Examples: why the business model is based upon cost-effective
decisions that integrate wastewater treatment waste combustion, etc. Why
waste heat for snow melt and community energy plan provides high
temperature for high temperature water in buildings to reduce CO2 used
from heating of water, etc (Holland)

3:45    Discussion of 'Questions for SERs' (slides 53-63)  (1 hr)

4:45    Summary and closing (15 min)

*Please note:  In the initial 15 minutes of the meeting, we will open a
quick discussion of the allotment of time in the agenda.  In the absence
of having a third Panel outreach meeting, we'd like to devote time at
this meeting to discussion of the topics/issues that SERs feel are most
important for the Panel to hear.  We can either stick to the suggested
allotment of time, or decide as a group to shift some of the time from
the discussion of slides 53-63 up to the bullet points suggested by
Theresa and Rae.  The SERs listed as speakers under Theresa and Rae's
bullets should be prepared to adjust themselves to fit into the time
period allotted (anywhere from 2 hrs to about 2 hrs and 45 minutes). 
EPA is assessing the feasibility of having a 3rd outreach meeting, and
yet you should be prepared for this meeting to be your only opportunity
for a verbal discussion.  Remember that EPA will also accept written
comments for two weeks after Wednesday (deadline COB July 27)  on the
issues that we cover verbally, as well as on any topics that we do not
get to in any meetings.

Location for Wednesday's meeting:

Room 6530, Ariel Rios North

1200 Pennsylvania Avenue NW

Washington, DC 20004

(Federal Triangle metro stop on the Orange line, entrance along 12th
street about half way between Pennsylvania and Constitution Avenues)

OR you can participate via conference call by calling 1-866-299-3188 and
entering code 202 566 2372

If you have not done so already and you are attending in person, please
send me your name by noon tomorrow.  I will need to give your name to
our guards to make your entry to the building as easy as possible.  When
you arrive, please use the entrance to the Ariel Rios North building
located under the arches and next to the Metro entrance.  Be prepared to
present an ID to the guards.  The guards will scan your bags, sign you
in, and give you a visitor pass.  Someone from my team will meet you at
the guard desk to escort you to our meeting room.

For your handy reference, I have attached two documents from our first
Panel outreach meeting: the presentation on the rulemaking (“EGU NSPS
Panel Outreach Presentation 2011.06.15.pdf”) and the outline of
regulatory options that EPA heard at the five GHG NSPS listening
sessions (“Final NSPS Markup 05-05-2011.pdf”).

Please call or email me if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Lanelle
