III.	MEETING SUMMARY

Action Items from the meeting are as follows:

1)	Comments on the EPA proposal for supporting economic analysis in the FACA process, and names of economists outside of EPA who might contribute to economic analysis as members of Work Groups need to be submitted to Rosalina Rodriguez by April 30, 1996.

2)	EPA will look into appointing an academic economist to the full FACA Subcommittee.

3)	The National and Regional Strategies Work Group will provide draft issues papers to the Coordination Group before the next conference call.

4)	EPA asked that members of the Coordination Group put their concerns about overlap and inconsistency in the Work Group effort, and the need for more "top-down" structure, in writing and submit them to Sally Shaver.

5)	The TTN/Bulletin Board became operational on 4/12. Members should provide Rich Damberg with the name they plan to use when on the Bulletin Board, to obtain access to the private development areas.

6)	EPA will distribute the comments that have come in on the Interim Implementation Policy, and a summary of the comments after May 1, in time for discussion by the Coordination Group at its next meeting.

7)	EPA will send copies of Glenn Cass' materials from the last Subcommittee meeting to members of the Coordination Group.

8)	The next Subcommittee meeting is scheduled for May 30, 1996, in Durham, North Carolina. The economic topics will be added to the agenda under General Status. The Coordination Group plans to meet late in the afternoon, or in the evening on May 29.

9)	The next conference call is Wednesday, 5/8/96, between 1:00 pm and 2:30 pm EDT, call-in number 202-260-7280, 4065#. The Group plans to discuss the calendar after May. Calls are also scheduled for May 22 and June 5, although the June 5 call may be cancelled.

The meeting accomplished the following:

1)	Members discussed adding an academic economist to the FACA Subcommittee;

2)	David Mobley presented the issues and goals of the National/Regional Strategies Work Group and the members discussed the issues addressed by the National/Regional Strategies Work Group and the Base Programs Work Group;

3)	Members agreed that although a potential for overlap and inconsistency exists across the Work Groups, the current structure is working. The Group agreed to address the issue of organization of the Work Group topics again at the May 22 meeting, if the Work Group products suggest the need to reorganize the topic assignments.

4)	The Communication Work Group described the use of the Bulletin Board System, and its communication action plan.

5)	Members affirmed that the Coordination Group would function as a facilitator, organizing information into a logical sequence and offering it up to the Subcommittee for its approval, rather than filtering the information from the Work Groups for the Subcommittee, based on content.

6)	The Group decided against scheduling separate presentations commenting on the Interim Policy at the full Subcommittee meeting in late May. Members would prefer to work formally through the Base Programs Work Group process, and felt that strongly held views would still be expressed in the time allowed for open discussion.

7)	Members agreed to hold a face-to-face meeting on the evening of May 29, 1996, before the Subcommittee meeting, and decided on several topics for the May 8 and May 22 meetings.

IV.	SUMMARY OF DISCUSSIONS

Update on Role of Economic Analysis in the FACA Process

Rosalina Rodriguez reminded the participants of the 2-page proposal on support for economic analysis in the FACA process that was distributed with the materials for the 4/10/96 meeting, and discussed during the 4/10/96 meeting. EPA would like comments on the proposal, and also names of economists outside of EPA who could provide analyis relevant to the early stages of the FACA process for more informed decision making. The deadline for both comments and names is April 30, 1996, and they should be submitted to Rosalina Rodriguez (rodriguez.rosalina.@epamail.epa.gov, phone 919-541-5298, FAX 919-541-0839).

No one objected to the idea of appointing a well-respected academic economist to the FACA Subcommittee. EPA will look into this further.

Issues Being Addressed by Base Programs and National/Regional Strategies Work Groups

David Mobley presented the issues being addressed by the National/Regional Strategies Work Group. The Work Group has divided into four subgroups and appointed leaders. The Institutional Mechanisms subgroup is being led by Chris Shaver, Control Regions/Areas will be headed by Don Theiler, Integrated Control Strategies is headed by Donna Lamb, and Economic Incentives/Trading will be led by Joe Belanger.

The subgroups are in the process of framing these issues now, and hope to have them developed to include principles and incorporate policy and regulatory approaches, options and a discussion of "pros and cons" for the options by the meeting in late May. They are also trying to provide input to the Base Programs Work Group on trading, and concerns about the transport issues in the Interim Implementation Policy (IIP). Their goal is to have their inputs to Base Programs by April 30, for the Base Programs meeting in early May. National/Regional Strategies plan to engage the Coordination Group by submitting a draft shortly after 5/16/96, but in advance of the Coordination Group's 5/22/96 conference call, and hope to finalize the documents on May 29.

Participants asked whether the principles were for the interim implementation period, or for post-implementation. The response was that the principles can be used in more than one context, but are intended to represent a consensus of what the Work Group would like to see in a rule. Others asked about how National/Regional Strategies and Base Programs feed together, as it appears that at times they are concerned with the same issues, such as identifying nonattainment areas, and areas needing control strategies. The response was that Base Programs is concerned with intra-state issues, and National/Regional Strategies is concerned with inter-state issues.

The group discussed its concerns about overlap and the potential for inefficiencies in effort. In addition, the group discussed whether a "top-down" structure was needed to avoid overlap and inconsistency, and whether the Subcommittee should be providing the big-picture and directing the effort of the Work Groups. EPA said that it expected the Work Groups would do the production, much like "staff", and not the actual Subcommittee. Many participants agreed that the fact that the Coordination Group is engaged in this discussion of overlap and potential inefficiency is a strong endorsement of the existing structure. EPA asked that members put their concerns about overlap and inconsistency, and the need for more "top-down" structure in writing and submit them.

One participant observed that as the first issue papers come in to the Coordination Group next month, things will become much more concrete. The Group agreed to address the issue of organization of the Work Group topics again at the May meeting, if the Work Group products suggest the need to reorganize the topic assignments.

The Group was reminded to give additional attention to tribal lands, and this was also identified as a pertinant topic for the Institutional Mechanisms subgroup and the Control Regions/Areas subgroup of the National/Regional Strategies Work Group. The EPA expects that there will be a tribal representative on each Work Group very soon.

Update on Communication Work Group Activities

Tom Curran announced that the Bulletin Board System (BBS) became operational on April 12, and it had 365 users in the first week. The ANPR document was downloaded about 17 times, indicating strong interest beyond the FACA members, who all presumably already have copies. The BBS has a private development area for Work Groups. The general public can download, but cannot upload comments. Work groups were chosen with a certain balance, and nonmembers would be encouraged to express opinions through members. The Work Group did not list members' private e-mail addresses.

The Communication Work Group is still considering which items to put up on the internet site. A matrix presenting the communication action plan was included on page 25 of the meeting materials, and shows some of the activities and dates that are currently being planned. They are interacting more with both OAQPS and OAR on their communication strategies, and plan to consult with them on questions regarding communication about the standards.

Members asked about access to the other Work Group private areas, and were told that they would have that privilege, but would need to provide the name that they will use to Rich Damberg for future access.

Review Process for Work Products and Coordination Group Involvement

The Coordination Group discussed a letter written by Don Theiler and distributed with the materials for the meeting. Members expressed an awareness that many of the concerns in the letter are presently being addressed, but should be raised again in the future if they are not addressed. One question was whether the Coordination Group was responsible for the substance, such as the scientific integrity, of the Work Group products. The members shared the opinion that the Coordination Group would function as a facilitator, organizing information into a logical sequence and offering it up to the Subcommittee for its approval, rather than filtering it first.

Possible Agenda Topics for May 30 Subcommittee Meeting

Items suggested for the May 30 meeting are the logical next steps, Work Group updates, and discussion of the Interim Implementation Policy (IIP). The Base Programs Work Group plans to have a face-to-face meeting May 7-8 to work on the IIP principles. A contractor is organizing and summarizing the comments on the IIP. Included in the materials for this conference call are papers for issues 1a and 1b. The Base Programs group will be sending out a redraft of these issues soon for their Work Group discussion. They hope to close on issues 1a and 1b at the May 7-8 meeting. They plan to make the comments and the summary available for the Coordination Group call on May 22, along with the Work Group's proposed recommendations for how to deal with the comments.

The Coordination Group discussed the desirability of allocating time for formal presentations on the interim policy by representatives of the different sectors. Some groups have been meeting to synthesize their comments and would like an opportunity to make a separate presentation of their positions. At first, participants discussed the advantages, the need to make time on the agenda, and the need to invite representatives of each of the sectors. By the close of the discussion, participants said the prospect of individual presentations by State/local, industry, and environmental groups may still exclude certain constituencies. Members would prefer to work formally through the Base Programs Work Group process, and felt that strongly held views would still be expressed in the time allowed for open discussion.

Participants were concerned about whether there would be enough time for presentations on economic issues, both market trading and economic analysis, and where they should be placed on the agenda. EPA said that times had not been assigned yet, and that the topics could be discussed in the Work Group presentations, as appropriate. Some wondered whether the topics should go under Science and Technology, but the group agreed that the appropriate place in the agenda would be under General Status.

Upcoming Meetings, Possible Agenda Items and Other Business

The Base Programs Work Group will be meeting on May 7 and 8, and Joe Paisie will be available to give the Coordination Group a briefing during its next meeting. The Group discussed whether it wants a face-to-face meeting on May 29, its preferences for meeting times, and the problem of conflicting with meeting times for the other Work Groups. A meeting time of 4 pm was proposed for May 29, to allow the co-chairs of the Work Groups to attend, but to avoid another late-night meeting before the all-day Subcommittee meeting.

Members have not received copies of Glenn Cass' materials from the last Subcommittee meeting, and EPA said that it will send them. The Group also discussed the need for a calendar for June. The conference call scheduled for June 5 conflicts with the OTAG meeting, and may be cancelled as it would be only one week after the meeting in Durham. Members agreed to discuss the calendar on the May 8 call.

The next conference call will take place on May 8, 1996, from 1 to 2:30 pm, EDT. The call-in number is (202)260-7280, 4065#. Future meetings are scheduled for May 22 (teleconference), and the evening of May 29, in Durham, North Carolina. The following teleconference call is currently scheduled for June 5.

*** TTN Brochure - June 1995 ***

*** What is OAQPS TTN?

OAQPS, the EPA Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, provides information and technical support on air pollution control. Its four divisions provide services to EPA regional offices, state and local agencies, consultants, industry, and the general public. These services include clearinghouses, conferences, reports, manuals, newsletters, support centers,

workshops, classroom training, self-instructional courses, and TTN.

TTN, Technology Transfer Network, is a network of electronic bulletin boards developed and operated by OAQPS. The network provides information and technology exchange in different areas of air pollution control, ranging from emission test methods to regulatory air pollution models. The service is

free, except for the cost of using the phone.

*** How does it work?

You access the network from your own computer through the use of a modem and communications software. Your computer connects with a computer at EPA through the phone lines. Once you're on the network, you've got all the tools, technology, and information in any of the bulletin boards available at your fingertips. You can find tools to estimate air pollutant emissions, download computer code for regulatory air models, read a Title summary of the 1990 Clean Air Act, find a course offered by the Air Pollution Training Institute, or request technical support in implementing an air pollution control program. You can transfer files, communicate with other users, leave a question for others to answer, or upload a file for others to use.

*** Who can use it?

Anyone in the world wanting to exchange information about air pollution,

including personnel in state and local agencies, the private sector, EPA, and foreign countries.

*** What's on the network?

1 Select Email from the Top Menu or one of the main menus.

2 Type L to send mail.

3 Respond to the prompts:

To: [Type the full name.] Subject: [Enter a topic heading.]

Submit Prepared Msg Text(Y/N)? [Type N to enter your message

directly on the screen; type Y if your message is stored as an ASCII text file.] Use Full

Screen Editor(Y/N)? [Type Y or N.]

4 After you enter your message, select an option below by typing the appropriate letter.

<L> to see your message line by line.

<V> to view your message as it looks to the receiver.

<E> to see a menu of editing options.

<R> to receive a note that the message was received.

<F> to include a file with the message (see below).

<Q> to quit without sending a message.

<S> to send the message.

<H> to receive help.

*** To include a file with your message:

Select F to enclose a file and respond to the prompts. Enclose a file with this message(Y/N)? [Type Y.] Enter 1-12 char. full file name: [Assign a new file name and extension to the file or use its existing name, for example, MYUPLOAD.TXT.] Select from the following transfer protocols: [Select a protocol from the list, for example, X for XMODEM.] File open, ready to receive (CTRL-X to abort). What you do here varies according to your communications software. If you have PROCOMM for DOS software, press PAGEUP, select the protocol you selected earlier (in this example, X for XMODEM), and enter the path and file name_for example, C:\HOME\NEWSTUFF.TXT.

If you have CROSSTALK for DOS software, press the HOME key, then enter XX instead of pressing PAGEUP. When the transfer is complete, you can continue the message, send it, or quit without sending it.

*** To receive messages:

When you enter the network, you are notified of any personal messages you have. You can view the messages now or later. To view them later, select Email from a menu and select <R> Read Mail.

*** To download a file:

1 From the TTN Technical Areas Menu, select a BBS--for example, <E>CAAA.

2 Select the category from which you want to download--for example, <J> General Information.

3 Once you see a list of files, note the name of the file you want to download. For long file lists, enter <S> to stop, which calls up a prompt line.

4 From the prompt line, type D for download, then select a protocol. Make certain it is one your communications software supports. For example, type X for XMODEM. If you don't know which protocol to select, look in your communications software documentation. The protocol you choose is used for all files you download for the remainder of your call, unless you change it with the P command. (To skip this step, see hint below.)

5 Next type the name of the file you want to download--for example, DIR94.WPF and press the enter key.

6 At this point you have set up the TTN to send the file. It then prompts "Awaiting Start Signal" for you to activate your system to receive the file. For example, if you have PROCOMM for DOS, press the PAGEDOWN key to see the PROCOMM protocol menu, select the protocol (in this example, X for XMODEM), and enter the path and name of the file you want to create on your computer--for example, C:\TTNFILES\DIR94.WPF. If you have CROSSTALK for DOS, press the HOME key, enter RX for the XMODEM protocol, and enter the path and file name of the new file.

7 Windows users will activate using a mouse, usually selecting Transfers", then "Receive Binary File", name the file and click on OK. There may be slight variations between different Windows programs, or DOS systems. The TTN does not currently support FTP file transfers, however, if you TELNET to the TTN via the Internet you can download, but you must have a KERMIT interface for your particular system and know how to activate a download once you have chosen KERMIT from the TTN protocol menu. Check with your Internet provider for a KERMIT interface for your system.

Note: If you have communications software that supports the ZMODEM protocol, the download is automatically started if you choose ZMODEM from the TTN protocol menu and enter a file name. No other entries are required.

Hint: To assign a default protocol to be used every time you download a file. Select <C>hange Terminal Config from the System Utilities Menu. Select D - Set File Download Protocol. Then choose a default protocol. Then, whenever you download a file, simply enter the file name, such as DIR94.WPF.

You do not have to specify the P command first, except to change the default.

*** To decompress files:

Files with the file name extension ZIP are compressed (archived) to save space and time when downloading. These files must be decompressed (unarchived) after downloading before they can be used.

1 Select <1> System Utilities from the Top Menu.

2 Select <A>rchivers/Dearchivers from the System Utilities Menu.

3 Download PKUNZIP.EXE. Do this only one time for all files you need to decompress.

4 Download any ZIP file you want to decompress from any of the BBSs.

5 When you exit the network and return to DOS, create a new directory and copy the downloaded files to it. In this way, files you decompress are not mixed in with your other files.

6 Use the PKUNZIP program to decompress any of the ZIP files you downloaded, for example, PKUNZIP CALINE3.ZIP Be sure PKUNZIP.EXE is in the same directory with your ZIP files.

*** To upload a file:

On some BBSs, you can upload a file for general use. Enter the appropriate area and follow the instructions provided. The procedure is similar to downloading a file, except for minor differences. For example, when using PROCOMM for DOS, press PAGEUP to upload a file (instead of PAGEDOWN) to download. In CROSSTALK for DOS, press the Home key and type XX (instead of

RX).

For additional help and directions, select <U> USER SUPPORT/HELP from the TTN Top menu.

*** Public Messages:

Use this feature to leave messages for public view on a particular BBS. You can relay new information for other people's use, present a problem you have that someone else may be able to resolve, or look through messages other people have left and responses they have received.

Note: Some BBSs do not have Public Message areas available.

1 Access the BBS most appropriate for the message you want to leave.

2 Select <P>ublic Messages from the Main Menu. Now you can scan the topics of other people's messages, read messages other people have left, or leave your own.

3 To leave a message, type L and follow directions.
