–Goals:• Identify similarities and differences in proposed BART

determinations

• Provide direction where needed to states to help them complete BART/RH SIPs

–HQ is not making BART determinations; final SIP approvals remain an EPA regional decision

•37 States received findings of failure to submit Regional Haze SIPs

–6 submitted final SIPs (CA, NJ, OR, RI, TX, VT) –CAA requires EPA to take final action to approve these SIPs and any others submitted after findings by FIP deadline of January 15, 2011–Most RH SIPs in WRAP region estimated to be submitted by the end of 2010
