Amy,
I'm
afraid
the
language
you
proposed
seems
a
bit
confusing
to
us
and
not
quite
accurate.
I'd
really
like
to
basically
stick
with
my
original
proposal,
as
I
think
thi
addresses
everyone's
prior
concerns.
We
could
change
it,
however,
to
read:

Third,
authority
exercised
by
States
under
the
CAA
may
be
utilized
EPA
when
it
acts
based
on
a
determination
that
a
State
has
not
completely
discharged
its
primary
responsibility
to
protect
its
air
quality.

I
would
appreciate
if
you
could
explain
any
objection
to
this
language.
Thank
you.

Sonja,

What
about
altering
the
first
sentence
in
the
paragraph
on
p.
59
to
the
following:

Third,
the
same
authority
that
is
conferred
to
the
States
under
the
CAA
to
act
in
connection
with
the
adoption
of
a
SIP
may
be
utilized
by
the
EPA
when
the
agency
determines
that
a
State,
by
failing
to
adopt
a
satisfactory
SIP,
has
not
completely
discharged
its
primary
responsibility
to
protect
its
air
quality.

Subject:

Preamble
Language
Amy,
To
address
the
concerns
we
discussed
on
Friday,
I
propose
changing
the
first
sentence
of
the
first
full
paragraph
on
p.
59
as
follows:

The
sentence
currently
reads:

In
addition,
when
EPA
has
determined
that
a
State
has
not
completely
discharged
its
primary
responsibility
to
protect
its
air
quality,
EPA
is
compelled
to
assume
this
task,
and
thus
the
powers
of
the
defaulting
State
accrue
to
EPA.

I
propose
rewording
it
to
read:

Third,
authority
exercised
by
States
under
the
CAA
accrues
to
EPA
when
it
acts
based
on
a
determination
that
a
State
has
not
completely
discharged
its
primary
responsibility
to
protect
its
air
quality.

In
addition,
as
I
mentioned
on
the
phone
we
are
OK
with
deleting
the
cite
to
Santa
Rosa
v.
EPA,
and
we
are
OK
with
the
three
specific
editorial
changes
suggested
on
pp.
57
and
58.

Please
let
me
know
if
we
need
to
discuss
this
further.

Thank
you.
