SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION

Dr. Serageldin opened the meeting by welcoming all the participants and allowing each participant to provide a brief introduction. He explained that the EPA has requested permit and RACT/BACT/LAER information from the states and has received some information. The EPA is also trying to obtain production data from other sources, but is having difficulty. Mr. Cowen stated that the EPA should focus on the emission aspect of the data because it is difficult to obtain information on production.

Mr. Cowen suggested that the EPA request Title V permits from the EPA Regional offices. Dr. Serageldin asked if it was possible for the states to identify "good" Title V permits to request. Mr. Hendricks stated that the Regional offices may have only the Title V permits and not the Title V permit applications which contain the detailed information that the EPA is interested in obtaining.

Ms. Holmes stated that the members of the Regulatory Subgroup are scheduled to receive a copy of the draft P-MACT/P- BAC document the week of August 13, 1997. A teleconference between the EPA and the Regulatory Subgroup is scheduled for September 3, 1997, to discuss comments to the draft. Ms. Holmes stated that the EPA plans to request that written comments to the draft be submitted before the September 3, 1997, teleconference.
