3. Draft Annex

• Include a master contents document that summarizes the purpose and completeness of each section and includes links to the following sections: Executive Summary; Glossary; I-Background; III-Annex Recommendations; and completed portions of V-Supporting Documentation (including the model rule and MOU). To minimize confusion, remove superceded information from the web site.
• Make the following changes to Section III:
• Section A.1. Add the maximum milestones including smelters to Table 1, with a pointer to the actual calculation method in part 2.
• Section A.2.a. Add the discussion of the calculation error for Mohave for 2003 from the executive summary. Also, in both Section III and the executive summary, add a sentence further explaining what the measurement bias is (Shawn will draft and send to Colleen). In subsection iii., no change needed, but it was clarified that the smelter set-aside is above the 480,000 line.
• Section A.2.b. Clarify the tribal opt-in language since it may not be known by 2003 if they will opt in.
• Section A.3.d. Remove detail and indicate that a mechanism will be included to adjust the milestone for illegal emissions and that further discussion is needed.
• Section D.7.a.iii. Replace language with a statement that a mechanism will be included to address allocations for retired or shutdown sources.
• Section D.7.b.iii.A. In the second sentence, indicate that states and tribes will certify and publish.
• Section D.7.b.iii.C. Clarify that the renewable energy source allocation is exclusive (i.e. can't also get a new source allocation) and available only for an actual constructed source.
• Follow-up assignments:
• Colleen - update the draft annex as shown above and post on the web site ASAP.
• Mike - coordinate with Rubin and others to edit the allocation discussion in Section II.D. This is due to Colleen and Ira by 9/1 if possible.
• Ira - complete and distribute the Better than BART attachment by 8/24.
• All- send Colleen and Ira any comments on the entire draft for incorporation before the MTF meeting on 9/13-14. These comments will not be included in the version posted on the web, but will be included to the extent possible before the MTF, IOC and WRAP meetings.
