Subject:	Agenda and materials for the first SBAR Panel Outreach meeting
for the Utility GHG NSPS Rulemaking - Friday, June 17, 2011

Dear Small Entity Representatives:

On behalf of the Small Business Advocacy Chair, I thank you for
participating in a meeting to discuss EPA’s upcoming rulemaking,
"Greenhouse Gas New Source Performance Standard for Electric Utility
Steam Generating Units."  You will be consulting with a Small Business
Advocacy Review (SBAR) Panel, which is composed of federal government
employees from the Environmental Protection Agency, the Small Business
Administration, and the Office of Management and Budget.  Please see the
attached agenda for meeting details and teleconference information.  

To help the SBAR Panel understand and consider the potential effects of
the draft proposed rule on small entities, the Panel is interested in
your feedback on all issues relating to the key elements of an Initial
Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (IRFA) as specified by the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (RFA), which include:

a description of and, where feasible, an estimate of the number of small
entities to which the proposed rule will apply;

a description of projected reporting, record keeping, and other
compliance requirements of the proposed rule, including an estimate of
the classes of small entities which will be subject to the requirements
and the type of professional skills necessary for preparation of the
report or record;

an identification, to the extent practicable, of all relevant Federal
rules which may duplicate, overlap, or conflict with the proposed rule;

a description of any significant alternative to the proposed rule which
accomplish the stated objectives of applicable statutes and which
minimizes any significant economic impact of the proposed rule on small
entities.

To help support your efforts in this regard, we have enclosed additional
information on the potential small entity impacts of the rulemaking and
potential ways to reduce those impacts.  

The attachments to this email include the information previously sent to
you June 10.  Note that the first attachment (1.) is an updated version
of what you were sent before.  In addition to this background material,
I have also attached an agenda for the June 17 meeting and the short
presentation that the Small Business Advocacy Chair will give at the
start of that meeting.

1.	Presentation on the Rulemaking (“EGU NSPS Panel Outreach
Presentation 2011.06.15.pdf”)

2.	Document outlining the regulatory options that EPA heard at the five
GHG NSPS listening sessions (“Final NSPS Markup 05-05-2011.pdf”)

3.	Agenda for the 6-17-11 Meeting (“EGU GHG Panel Outreach Meeting
Agenda 2011.06.17.pdf”)

4.  	Presentation by the Small Business Advocacy Chair ("SBAC talking
points for EGU GHG NSPS panel outreach meeting 2011-06-17.pdf")

The goal of this first meeting will be to familiarize you with the
background on the rulemaking itself as well as the Panel process and
your role as a SER in the Panel process.  The questions the Panel has
for SERs will also be presented.  While there is time reserved on the
agenda for discussion, that discussion will focus on the materials
themselves.  You will not be expected to provide your input and feedback
on the questions for SERs at this first meeting.  The second Panel
Outreach meeting to be held July 13 will focus on obtaining your
feedback to those questions.  You will also have two weeks, from the
date of the second meeting (July 27), to submit written comments to the
Panel.

For those of you attending in person, please email me
(wiggins.lanelle@epa.gov) before COB today.  I will need to give the
guards your name to make your entry into the building as easy as it can
be.  Also please note the address for the building on the agenda.  I had
listed the wrong building address on my last email to you, however the
room number and call-in number are correct.

Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend the meeting tomorrow.  Caryn
Muellerleile (muellerleile.caryn@epa.gov or 202-564-2855) will be
covering for me.  Please contact her after today if you have any last
minute questions or needs.

Regards,

Lanelle
