I'll take care of this.  Note that we are still waiting to hear from EPA on the critical issue of whether the prohibition on refinancing applies to the Coburg situation.  That will be a key issue in the permanent rule making given the pending petition for rulemaking and threatened Court of Appeals challenges from Coburg.  LK

We are now in the process of following up the temporary SRF Stimulus rulemaking (adopted in April) with a permanent rulemaking.  The tentative schedule calls for review of the notice package in mid-June (6/19-25), public comment in July and then a review of the EQC package in early September (8/28-9/8) with EQC adoption hopefully in late October.  We don’t anticipate much of any changes in the language.

You provided guidance with the temporary stimulus language, are you available to review the permanent rule?  I am just checking workloads and lining up DOJ assistance with this rulemaking.

Let me know if you have the time/interest or whether I should check with Lynne Perry or someone else at DOJ.

Thanks,

Larry M.
