As discussed, to facilitate a resolution, we are sharing a legal analysis of the key regulatory actions (in Word format, attached) which forms the basis for our position that biogenic C02 has never properly been determined to be a pollutant subject to regulation for purposes of the Clean Air Act. I am also sharing the Biogenic CO2 Coalition's comments on the Significance Rule proposal from the prior administration, as it contains a comprehensive narrative discussion of the coalition's legal and policy positions. We look forward to having another "work session" to discuss this issue once you have a chance to study the issues in greater depth. Would you be available sometime the week of November 5?
