This is a shift in the traditional approach to air quality management but it is necessary for at least three reasons: Many of the remaining air quality problems are not limited by state or tribal boundaries. Point source problems are being overshadowed by broader airshed problems that are best addressed by regional solutions. Resources are scarce and must be effectively managed to avoid duplication by the many separate state and tribal programs potentially doing much of the same work. Some of the regional planning domains are too small to adequately address the problems. RPOs will need to work together to find creative solutions to these broad air quality issues. The regional planning effort presents many challenges to the RPOs regarding how they will function as individual RPOs and how they will work together. Some of these challenges are: States and tribes working effectively together in regional organizations. RPOs have made considerable progress but capacity building and representation will continue to be work-in-progress. Recognizing and addressing the long time frame for implementing the Regional Haze rule as states will have multiple changes of administration throughout the process. The RPOs will need to address how to ensure regional planning is supported in the context of political change. The RPOs will have primary responsibilities in setting their direction. EPA must allow the RPOs to work on their unique problems, provide assistance when it=s requested but understand that each RPOs issues are unique and will require unique regional solutions. The WRAP has had a head start in the west and is one model for doing this kind of work, but not the only one. States and tribes will be partners in this process and the process will be open to all parties involved and interested, but there will not be a Aone size fits all@ template for the regional planning organizations. Following are the key elements and points of emphasis which need to be addressed to meet these challenges and develop effective work plans. EPA=s Role The EPA Regional Office will serve as the primary resource for their respective RPO. OAQPS will provide national policy and technical direction while the lead Regional Offices will work directly with the RPOs. Funding EPA will continue to request funding for this effort in Agency budget requests. Funding will be allocated each year on a needs basis so an RPO should not assume level funding from year to year. Lead Region grants offices will administer each RPO grant. OAQPS will manage the Southern Governors Association grant and provide copies of quarterly reports and any resulting reports to the lead Regional Offices and RPO directors. OAQPS will develop guidance for the RPO grants. EPA will fund national support for inter-RPO tribal activities but will expect RPOs to continue their support for their own tribes=s participation. Policy OAQPS will provide policy direction and serve to resolve major issues. Lead Regions will act as an interface between OAQPS and the RPOs. Lead Regions will work with the RPOs to identify issues and provide recommendations to OAQPS for resolving the issues. Technical OAQPS will provide technical guidance, data, tools, and training. Lead Regions will provide Ahands-on@ technical assistance and guidance to RPOs and will assist RPOs and their technical committees in the application of these tools. EPA/ORD has established a cooperative agreement with MCNC to set up the Models-3 Community Modeling and Analysis System (CMAS) as a center for technology transfer and support of Models-3 to the air quality community. Annual funding over 4 to 5 years from ORD, OAQPS, and OEI is planned at a level of $200K - $250K per year. Initial activities (first 1 to 2 years) are expected to address modeling tools, data sets, training and user support. Several State Agencies and regional air quality planning organizations are being requested to provide representatives for a External Advisory Committee. Delivery of IMPROVE data for calendar years 2000 and 2001 is expected in the Spring of 2002. The 2000-2001 data delivery has been delayed primarily because of competing resources within the principal contractor, UC Davis. UC Davis has been involved in the expansion of the IMPROVE network from 30 to 110 sites. This effort involves the building, testing, and deployment of new samplers designed to ensure consistent data throughout the nation. With so much additional equipment coming online, UC Davis needed more time for data delivery in order to maintain high quality data. The new delivery date for calendar year 2000 data is April 2002. Data for calendar year 2001 will be available in mid-summer 2002. Previously, the projected date for delivery of data for both calendar years 2000 and 2001 was summer 2002. In the future, IMPROVE data will be delivered within 6 months of date of collection. This future data delivery schedule will also include preliminary review by the States to ensure a higher quality data set to support regional haze analyses. Grant Management The lead EPA Regions are responsible for managing the RPO grants and for day-to-day interaction with the RPOs. This includes actively communicating EPA policy to the RPOs and active participation in RPO technical workgroups. Meetings OAQPS will facilitate national meetings of the RPOs and EPA at least twice a year to help establish consistency. In addition to these meetings, OAQPS will meet with RPOs and lead Regions at other times as needed. EPA will assist in establishing a website and scheduling other public meetings. RPO Role The RPOs should continue to focus on the emerging technical issues leading to 2004 and 2008 milestones as discussed later in this document while completing any final organizational work. Now that the organizational work among the states and tribes is largely complete, the RPOs should think about their approach to analyzing the complicated problem of regional haze. This can be accomplished by defining what data and analyses are needed. Planning for regional haze will be a long process. Continued leadership by the RPOs and the state and tribal partners along with a commitment of technical resources and skills is very important. RPOs will have to be technical leaders. They face the major challenge of integrating work on other pollutants, such as ozone and fine particle, which contribute to the regional haze problem into the regional haze planning process. They need to accomplish this in such a way that regional haze is not overtaken and dominated by the other pollutants. RPOs should continue building their internal relationships with their states and tribes, as well as their relationships with the Federal land managers, the other RPOs and EPA. In particular, the RPOs should work closely together with the other RPOs on common technical issues. EPA will not prescribe a formal arrangement to achieve consistency, but the RPOs need to develop a workable mechanism to achieve consistency since both resources and time are limited. Federal Land Managers (FLM=s) Role The FLMs will coordinate participation in RPO activities to provide the perspective of the class I managers. Policy: FLMs will work as partners with the RPOs on development of key air management goals for visibility protection. Key issues for the FLMs will include prescribed fire policy, setting of reasonable progress visibility improvement goals, and preserving the ability to deal with local or Ahot spot@ air quality issues. Technical: The FLMs have considerable air quality monitoring data and expertise in assessing those data. FLMs will work with the RPOs and EPA in building a technical understanding of the impacts seen at Class I areas and determining natural conditions. Fourth Year Organizational and Outreach Strategy During the first year, the RPOs concentrated on organizational issues. They incorporated the organizations, adopted bylaws, reached out to both states and tribes, began to establish working groups, learned about regional haze and the regional haze rule, established working relationships with the Federal land managers, started to inform state environmental commissioners about the process, and established working relationships with the other RPOs. During the second and third years, the RPOs made a transition into building a foundation for their technical work, making assessments of their regional haze problems and data needs. The RPOs have now substantially completed the organizational phase. During this fourth year of work the RPOs should work with tribal and state members to: Identify key state policy makers, including Commissioners, Governors, state legislators, mayors, Attorneys General, and others, and engage them in a discussion of the problem and solicit their perspectives on policy issues and concerns. Identify their questions and solicit their input on how to maintain this dialogue over a long time schedule. Establish policy working relationships so that they are knowledgeable about the process. Continue to build and support tribal capacity, technical efforts, training and travel to regional and national meetings at a level considered by the member tribes and the RPO to meet the needs for tribal participation in each RPO. EPA acknowledges that the tribal-state relationship in each RPO represents a unique situation. EPA requests as part of the RPOs grant application a justification of the level of RPO support provided to the state and tribal membership of the RPO. For example, some tribal members might need support in developing emissions inventories or establishing monitors that support the Regional Haze program. Continue to build a network within the RPO among the state and tribal partners, get their input, and nurture long-term relationships at the political level. The Federal Land Managers (FLMs) have a unique participatory role in this process. They are the stewards of the Class I areas but they are also potential sources of data and expertise RPOs should utilize. RPOs should continue to implement their plans for stakeholder participation in technical work groups, including encouraging work group membership and participation by the academic and environmental communities. The RPOs should have a transparent process for technical work and issue resolution. Documents should be easily available to interested parties. Internet use and websites should be encouraged. All RPO meetings should be open to any interested government participantBstate, tribal, Federal land manager, EPA. Technical work group meetings should include all of the above as well as representatives from the academic, environmental and industrial communities. However, RPOs should limit work group membership to active working members. Beyond 2002: Continue to identify linkages to other programs, such as PM fine and ozone. RPOs with fewer Class I areas particularly should emphasize the linkages between regional haze and other pollutants and to urban visibility. Continue the dialogue with state policy makers. Begin to address policy concerns and questions regarding the need for regional action to address regional haze problems. Build consensus toward the development of the contributions assessment and the programmatic implications of enforceable state commitments in order to develop and submit a regional strategy. Fourth Year Program Guidance The Regional Haze Rule provides a regional planning option in section 308(c) which enables the States to coordinate the submission of regional haze SIPs from multi-state regions in 2008. It also requires States that choose to follow the regional planning option in section 308(c) to submit a committal SIP within 1 year of the date of the first designation of any type of area for PM-2.5 (attainment, nonattainment, or unclassifiable). The PM-2.5 designations can occur on a rolling schedule beginning in 2004 and continuing to no later than 12/31/2005 (per TEA-21). Accordingly, the committal SIPs could be due as soon as 2004 or as late as 2006. The key elements of a committal SIP are: A description of regional planning process A demonstration of ongoing participation in a regional planning process A showing that emissions from the State contribute to impairment in class I areas outside the State A list of BART-eligible sources in the State A binding commitment to submit a control strategy SIP no later than 2008 In reviewing the general schedule leading to submission of control strategy SIPs in 2008, EPA believes that by 2004, the States and RPO=s should complete the work needed for the committal SIP. The RPOs should then turn their efforts to development of class I area progress goals and associated control strategies needed to meet these goals. The RPO=s and States can work together to develop class I area goals and regional strategies in the 2004-6 time frame. States will then have the 2006-2008 period to develop State-specific regulations implementing the regional recommendations, and to conduct any public and/or administrative review processes before submission of their regional haze SIP to EPA. Thus, 2004 emerges as an important year in the regional planning process. For the reasons outlined above, by the end of FY 2004 States should 1) complete the analyses needed for their contribution assessment and 2) provide the lead Regions a progress report on activities underway in preparation for the regional modeling, class I area goal-setting process, and strategy development process. Specific steps are suggested below in the technical guidance section to reach these two goals. In general, these include preliminary analyses for contributions demonstrations, preparation for regional modeling and emissions inventories in 2002-2004, development of control strategies and control strategy modeling in 2004-2006, and regulation development and plan submission by 2008. However, each RPO=s situation is unique and they and their lead EPA Region should discuss their particular situation. The mid-point of the 2008 SIP process is 2004, and is the point where the emphasis shifts from data analysis to actual preparation and analysis of control strategy options. Therefore, EPA believes that submission of a contributions assessment in 2004 will be an important mechanism for making that change. EPA does not believe that the contribution assessment should be a high hurdle. The contribution assessment does not need to identify specific contributions but it should include additional data analyses beyond the 1996 analyses supporting the regional haze rule. Regional modeling is not necessarily needed but the analysis should be credible enough for state decision makers to make commitments towards their SIPs. Work has already begun by the inter-RPO Data Analysis / Monitoring Group to further explore useful analyses to meet the contribution assessment requirement. This technical guidance is meant to provide direction for the next three years of RPO work to reach the 2004 target date for a contribution assessment. This guidance discusses the structure of the work plans, EPA=s role, the RPO=s role, and EPA=s assessment of the organizational and technical make-up of the upcoming work plans. Work Plans Initially, EPA asked for a detailed first year work plan, similar to any work plan for an EPA grant. However, because this was only the first step of a multi-year project, EPA asked each RPO to also include their vision of the direction for the planning process, how they will develop partnerships and jointly determine this direction, how they will assess data needs, what tools they will need, and how they will work with other RPOs. The detailed work plan submitted as part of the fourth year grant application should be coupled with an updated description of what is anticipated to be the general plan for several years. A rolling 5 year work plan, with an annual update so that each year=s grant work plan is generated at that time is one suggested model. This model would allow for changes that are likely to occur for a program with such a long time frame. As with any grant, there must be a detailed description of the current fundingBwork products, dates, and milestones. EPA realizes that the Avision@ for the out years is subject to change but the Agency needs to see an indication of the RPO=s course of action. Likewise, EPA can only be confident about the availability of technical tools for the next 1 or 2 years. EPA will provide annual (or more frequent) assessments of the availability of technical tools and guidance in order to assist the RPOs with their planning process. As part of this document, EPA is describing the kinds of technical work it believes is necessary to reach the 2004 and 2008 goals. Technical Guidance The short term technical milestones should include: Analyze existing data and information to develop an understanding of the regional haze problem specific to that RPO. If an RPO has already developed an understanding of the regional haze problem in its area, then it should refine that understanding with reasonably available data/information. Characterize the air quality associated with the extent of the visibility impairment in the region. Determine a base year. EPA recognizes that there are multiple aspects to determining a base year and that it is a collective emissions, monitoring, data analysis, and modeling issue. With respect to emissions inventories, the RPO should confirm that 2002 will be the year, or one of the years, for which emissions inventories development will be intensive. Otherwise, the RPO should explain what year will be used and how emissions inventories for another year will support other technical work, contribution assessment and control strategy development. Use of Canadian/Mexican inventories, as applicable. The RPOs can expect to obtain the best available international databases from EPA and/or other RPOs. The Canadian emissions inventory is updated in 5-year intervals, soon to be 2-year intervals. The 1995 base year emissions inventory has been available since August 2001. New NONROAD and MOBILE6 information should have been incorporated into this inventory by the end of December 2001. The base year 2000 emissions inventory is expected to be available in the Fall 2002. Emission trend analysis for 1985-2000 and forecast emission changes from 2000 to 2020 are anticipated to be completed by February 2002. Other expected information includes spatial disaggregation and inventory data for 2002 for NPRI and criteria pollutants, and annual updates and the conversion of BEIS3 for Canada. The issue on confidentiality of facility information (latitude, longitude, stack parameters) is expected to be resolved in 2003. Chemical speciation of PM and VOC is planned to begin in 2003. With respect to Mexican emissions, EPA plans to utilize existing efforts from the Western Governors' Association (WGA), which has entered into a contract with Eastern Research Group (ERG) for development of a Mexican Emission Inventory. ERG is targeting a 1999 base year, including seven visibility impairing pollutants. This project will be completed in phases. First, a complete inventory for the six northern Mexican states to be completed by March 2003. Second, building capacity. And third, preparing a series of manuals similar to EIIP and AP-42 guidance. At this time, it is unknown when an inventory may be made available to EPA for emissions modeling purposes. Improve emission estimates for on-road sources, off-road sources, ammonia, and biogenic sources. On-road sources -- EPA recommends the use of MOBILE6. Road dust B EPA recommends using existing data on silt loadings and precipitation, and making best estimate. Off-road sources: NONROAD Categories B Review new estimates from the January 2002 version for NONROAD and the final Version 2 of the NEI. Review studies of nonroad activity by WI, NESCAUM, TNRCC, and CARB and consider undertaking similar studies in other areas. Determine whether estimates for recreational equipment, and lawn and garden equipment in particular, make sense in terms of temporal and spatial locations. AC B Use new FAA EI System for major airports. Locomotives B Use activity data where violating monitors are near high locomotive density. The NEI should be reasonable for broader scale analysis. Commercial Marine Vessels B Consider ports near violating monitors. NH3 B Outreach to in-RPO Ag community, other State agencies. Wait for next NEI version and/or AP-42 development, based on NAS study, plus results of EPA backwoods modeling of seasonal patterns. Understand any particular odd situations with CAFO operations, for example, areas where animals spend only their early weeks or end-of-live cycle weeks (when lifetime EF=s would be inappropriate). If possible, provide spatial surrogates based on animal populations at individual farms. Use crops as spatial surrogates for fertilizer applications. Biogenics B Use BEL33 or one of the other newer models. Models are not very different if updated vegetation coverage data is used. Use surrogates for new modeling domain B The EPA's current plan for developing spatial surrogate data which will be used to support emissions modeling activities for the proposed RPO 4km national domain is outlined in the file posted at [http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/emch/spatial/index.html]. Identify additional data needs and technical analysis to support SIP/TIP requirements and time lines. Establish technical working relationships with EPA, FLM, States, and Tribes and start reporting technical progress at ECOS and Tribal Council level meetings. Develop technical training as needed. Develop and begin institutionalizing public outreach strategies for technical issues. The long range objective is to develop SIPs/TIPs which meet the technical requirements of the Regional Haze Rule. Throughout this process, RPOs should communicate with Federal, State and Tribal representatives and with each other about early technical assessments, new data, and doing this work within the framework of multi-state and multi-tribal organizations. The table below describes the technical activities essential or highly useful for implementation of the Regional Haze Rule. In general, these activities support preliminary analyses for contribution demonstrations, preparation for regional modeling, emissions inventories, and control strategy modeling. These are recommended activities which may be adapted as necessary to meet the specific goals/needs of each RPO.
