This notice summarizes the data received since proposal and
describes how the Agency may use the data to address comments and
develop the final rule. The notice also discusses refinements EPA may
make to its methods for estimating costs, load reductions and financial
impacts. It also presents revised results for these analyses reflecting
the refinements and incorporating new data.
