NEXT MEETING: Conference call on Thursday,

ANNOUNCEMENTS: NTEC is intervening in support
of the regional haze rule in the challenges filed by industry
and the Sierra Club. No western states have filed yet.
REVIEW OF CURRENT ACTIVITIES: WRAP participants
are following development of the budget--the most recent
House budget includes $4 million for state and regional planning.
An industry group is working to have a constructive proposal
ready for next week's Market Trading Forum meeting.
WORK PLAN DEVELOPMENT: Regarding the draft
of Section 2.5, it was agreed that more clarity is needed,
and may best be achieved by adding a "road map" at the end
of 2.1, and perhaps a summary Section 2.6 to precede the
crosswalk of rule and work plan. Jan is working with Rachelle
Gibson to edit Section 2.1. Bill Auberle noted it is crucial
that all the pieces fit together in a way that is comprehensive
and comprehensible. Al Zemsky has sent the draft of section
2.5 up the line in EPA for review, but urged that drafters
pay particularly close attention to clearly answering the
questions in Bob Perciasepe's letter of last July.
Section 2.1 will be available by the end of the week, Section
2 will be available by Monday, and the rest of the work plan
also by Monday. Shawn will see that the Market Trading Forum
has copies by Tuesday morning.
Comments on the draft should go to Bill Grantham. The conference
call on October 7 will be devoted to overall content, and
format of crosswalk.
Northern Air Managers will meet on October 8, reviewing
components of the Work Plan to be sure they are complete
and meet the needs of states and tribes. That review will
be helpful as revisions to the Work Plan are made in the
next few weeks.
