          The Honorable James M. Inhofe

          Subject: Environmental Protection Agency: Standards of Performance for Stationary
                  Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engines and National Emission
                  Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for ReciprocatingInternal
                  Combustion Engines

          Pursuant to section 801(a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a
          major rule promulgated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), entitled
          Standards of Performance for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion
          Engines and National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for
          Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (RIN: 2060-AM81). We received the
          rule on December 26, 2007. It was published in the Federal Register as a final rule on
          January 18, 2008. 73 Fed. Reg. 3568. This final rule has a stated effective date of
          March 18, 2008.

          The final rule sets new source standards of performance for stationary spark ignition
          internal combustion engines. This final rule also sets national emission standards for
          hazardous air pollutants for new and reconstructed stationary reciprocating internal
          combustion engines that are either (1) located at area sources of hazardous air
          pollutant emissions or (2) have a site rating of less than or equal to 500 brake
          horsepower and are located at major sources of hazardous air pollutant emissions.

          Enclosed is our assessment of the EPA's compliance with the procedural steps
          required by section 801(a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule.
          Our review indicates that EPA complied with the applicable requirements.
