The Honorable Lee Zeldin Administrator U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW Washington, DC 20460 Dear Administrator Zeldin:
Congratulations on your confirmation as the Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"). Strong, thoughtful, and clear-eyed leadership is needed for EPA to fulfill its mission of protecting public health and the environment while promoting economic prosperity. Your longstanding commitment to public service equips you to be an exceptional EPA Administrator.
This letter is submitted on behalf of the Air Advocacy Coalition. The coalition is an ad-hoc group that comprises the American Chemistry Council, the American Coke and Coal Chemicals Institute, the American Forest & Paper Association, the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers, the American Iron and Steel Institute, the American Petroleum Institute, the American Wood Council, the Brick Industry Association, the Cement Kiln Recycling Coalition, the National Lime Association, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The purpose of the Air Advocacy Coalition is to advocate for sensible and effective federal emissions standards under Sections 111 and 112 of the Clean Air Act ("CAA"). Coalition members employ millions of Americans in core domestic manufacturing sectors and contribute hundreds of billions of dollars to the national economy.
We write to offer our suggestions on the CAA 112 air toxics program. Under that program, EPA is required to regulate emissions of nearly 200 hazardous air pollutants ("HAPs"). EPA does so primarily through a phased regulatory process. In the first phase, EPA sets technology-based emissions standards that require all sources in a given industry sector to achieve the level of emissions control attained by the better-controlled sources in that sector. Such standards are often called "maximum achievable control technology" standards, or "MACT" standards. In the second phase, within eight years after a MACT standard is issued, EPA must make a one-time determination of whether there is any remaining unacceptable risk to public health or the environment due to HAP emissions from the given sector. If unacceptable "residual risk" remains, EPA must adjust the MACT
ED_018475D_00003166-00001
The Honorable Lee Zeldin February 5, 2025 Page 2
standard to address that risk. EPA also is required at least every eight years to conduct a technology review of existing standards to determine if new emissions control developments warrant an update of the standards, considering cost and other factors.
Since enactment of those statutory requirements in 1990, EPA has issued dozens of MACT standards covering the breadth of American industry. EPA also has completed a residual risk review for virtually all of those standards and, when needed, imposed more stringent standards to reduce health risks. As a result, HAP emissions have plummeted, along with risks associated with those emissions. By all accounts, the program has been a great success.
But the regulatory momentum that has driven the air toxics program for the last three decades now threatens to push the program to the point where incrementally smaller reductions in emissions are exponentially more costly or technically infeasible. In recent years, EPA has issued additional air toxics standards without adequate attention to effectiveness, feasibility, or cost -- turning a blind eye to whether further regulation is objectively needed or legally warranted. That approach puts the ability of American manufacturers to meet growing consumer demand at risk and jeopardizes the good paying jobs they support in a global marketplace where competitors do not face the same regulatory burdens.
A fundamental problem is EPA's refusal to consider all relevant factors -- and applicable Supreme Court caselaw-- when conducting mandatory periodic technology review of existing air toxics standards.' The D.C. Circuit instructed EPA that it must consider the need to conduct "gap filling" (i.e., to set standards for HAP emissions not regulated) when the Agency conducts periodic technology reviews.2 But at the same time, Clean Air Act 112(d)(6) requires EPA to revise a standard only "as necessary"-- a broad decision-making criterion that necessarily requires consideration of cost. EPA has ignored that obligation by mistakenly interpreting the court decision as overriding a plain statutory directive. A rule that achieves no meaningful public health benefits and imposes significant costs can hardly be deemed "necessary." That surely is not the best interpretation of the law.3
Another example is the recent set of standards for commercial sterilizers, where EPA claimed discretionary authority to impose new, exceedingly stringent emissions
'Clean Air Act 112(d)(6). 2 Louisiana Environmental Action Network v. EPA, 955 F.3d 1088 (D.C. Cir. 2020). 3 Loper Bright Enters. v. Raimondo, 144 S. Ct. 2244, 2263 (2024) (courts must ensure an agency adopts the "best reading" of the statute and engages in "reasoned decisionmaking" - the consideration of all relevant factors, including cost); Michigan v. EPA, 752 U.S. 743, 750, 752 (2015) (EPA was arbitrary in misconstruing "capacious" statutory authority to regulate as "appropriate and necessary" to prohibit the agency from considering the cost of regulation).
ED_018475D_00003166-00002
The Honorable Lee Zeldin February 5, 2025 Page 3
standards without due regard for the impacts on the ability to sterilize medical devices used to prevent infections in patients and administer medical treatments.4 By EPA's own estimates, the tighter air standards will cost more than $125 million per cancer case avoided, but will reduce projected nationwide cancer incidence by only a fraction of a case per year. By any reasonable measure, that is not a necessary or effective regulation. Yet EPA forged ahead with a rule that risks disrupting supply chains and increasing costs for critical medical devices, instead of pursuing smart regulations that would have still achieved additional emissions reductions. EPA has taken similar actions in connection with regulation of the chemical manufacturing sector, threatening numerous supply chains and, indeed, just proposed other rules taking the same unreasonable and illegal approach.5
Similarly, in the recently revised standards for lime production, coke ovens, and coke oven batteries, EPA chose to impose onerous and costly new emissions standards despite its own scientific findings that the previously existing emissions standards already provided an ample margin of safety against risks to public health and the environment.6 EPA also overstepped its statutory authority by establishing overly stringent limits and work practice standards that it claims are based on "new" developments in technology. However, those new standards are often not based on new developments or on technology that would work for those sectors. The rules will affect not just the industries covered by the rules, but also will add costs in the many industries that use the products manufactured by those industries.
Recent rules under the air toxics program have also been marked by an irrational insistence on rushing through new standards and other regulatory changes when the agency does not understand what it is regulating and even when doing so is highly inefficient. For example, EPA inexplicably bifurcated its risk and technology review of the Hazardous Waste Combustor standard. The Agency recently proposed a rule to remove a malfunction provision from the standard, while deferring other aspects of the risk and technology review for later action. The decision to rush one narrow revision instead of looking at the entire standard holistically makes for disjointed and poorly integrated rules.'
Also, as part of the ongoing risk and technology review for the Hazardous Waste Combustor standard, EPA is in the process of determining whether it should set emissions
4 89 Fed. Reg. 24090 (Apr. 5, 2024). 5 https://www.epa.gov/systenn/files/docunnents/2024-12/pepo_proposed-rule-preannble.pdf 6 National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Lime ManufacturingPlants Technology Review, 89 Fed.

The Honorable Lee Zeldin February 5, 2025 Page 4
standards for certain pollutants for which there are no known emissions control technologies. Time for additional testing to better understand the formation of these pollutants is crucial. Yet, EPA has been pushing forward in a rush to set technology-based standards for pollutants without a known control technology, resulting in standards that are impossible to meet by many affected facilities, threatening both cement production and management of hazardous wastes through energy recovery at cement facilities. These plants play a significant role in the implementation of our country's hazardous waste management program and capacity assurance. This includes EPA's Land Disposal Restrictions program, which is directed at reducing the quantities and effects of hazardous waste constituents that are land-based.
Unfortunately, those are not isolated examples. Just as industry has begun trying to reshore manufacturing and jobs, over the last several years EPA has made a concerted push in many cases to set ineffective and legally tenuous regulations that touch almost every corner of American industry (and a correspondingly large portion of the GDP) -from sourcing and processing of basic raw materials (such as production of taconite, coke, lime, and cement), to the production of commodity industrial products to energy production (combustion turbines, fossil steam units, industrial boilers), and to commercial and consumer products (paper, pulp, lumber, wood products, iron and steel). Disfavoring American industry in this fashion will drive production of essential energy, materials, and products overseas, without providing a countervailing environmental benefit that warrants this massive cost.
Furthermore, among the unprecedented slate of emissions standards are many where EPA unilaterally decided to "redo" the reviews that were completed as recently as 2020 under the prior Trump administration. In many cases, EPA has wrongly claimed it has found updated technologies where none actually exist. For example, EPA has imposed fenceline monitoring for certain source categories where the requisite monitoring technology has not yet been developed.8
As EPA Administrator, you have the opportunity to correct past regulatory overreach and put this program on a better path for the future - one that protects public health and the environment while promoting American prosperity. We respectfully suggest that action is quickly needed because of the looming compliance deadlines and pending litigation flowing from the numerous recent rules.
For example, as soon as April 2025 the steel industry will face material adverse economic impacts from three rules promulgated on aspects of the industry which impose
8 National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Coke Ovens: Pushing, Quenching, and Battery Stacks, and Coke Oven Batteries; Residual Risk and Technology Review, and Periodic Technology Review, 89 Fed. Reg. 55684 (July 5, 2024).
ED_018475D_00003166-00004
The Honorable Lee Zeldin February 5, 2025 Page 5
technically unachievable and economically infeasible requirements.9 America's integrated steel industry is responsible for producing highly specified grades of steel for advanced manufacturing, national defense applications, and critical supply chains. This industry supports tens of thousands of good-paying, family-sustaining union jobs and countless additional quality jobs in the extensive steel-related supply chain. However, in all three rules, EPA analyses showed that previously adopted MACT standards already provide an ample margin of safety to protect public health and the environment. Despite these lowrisk determinations, EPA proceeded beyond its authority under Section 112(d), while committing errors and omissions in establishing the new requirements which, if implemented, would degrade the competitiveness of our critical domestic steel sector and undermine neighboring communities through potential reduction of their tax base and jobs.
We know that you have many important and pressing priorities at EPA. We believe issuing smart regulations that enhance environmental stewardship while balancing economic factors should be a top priority.
We look forward to working with you and your team on this important endeavor. Sincerely, The Air Advocacy Coalition

Lee Zeldin, Administrator United States Environmental Protection Agency William Jefferson Clinton Building 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Mail Code: 1101A Washington, DC 20460
Dear Administrator Zeldin:
Congratulations on your confirmation as Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Our associations are ready to engage with EPA and help address major issues. We are excited for the opportunity to assist the Trump Administration. We recognize the value and benefits of liquid and gaseous fuels for both the American people and our environment.
The undersigned organizations represent a diverse group of industries, from petroleum refiners, fuel marketers and retailers, biofuels producers, and agriculture stakeholders. While our organizations have not always agreed on every detail, we have joined together in recognition of the critical role liquid fuels serve in the American economy, to advance liquid fuels, and ensure consumers have a choice of how they fuel their vehicles.
Since the enactment of the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), our nation has benefited from increased energy security, an enhanced agricultural industry, and lower carbon fuel options. As the EPA begins work on policies that promote American energy and renewable fuels, we encourage the EPA to consider robust future renewable fuel volumes for 2026 and beyond. We believe strong, steady volumes for conventional biofuel targets, biomass-based diesel, and advanced fuels would more accurately reflect the availability and ongoing investments in feedstocks and production capacity. Additionally, it would reflect the increased demand in new markets, such as marine, rail and aviation. Our industries will work to continue providing liquid fuels with the significant renewable fuel volumes that our country needs to fuel American growth.
Additionally, we urge EPA to release multi-year standards for the RFS. Setting multi-year standards helps provide more certainty for obligated parties, renewable fuel producers, and other market participants. This certainty is critical for business planning and compliance, as well as longer term stability to promote capital investment.
Our organizations are excited to help deliver on the Trump Administration's promise of U.S. energy dominance. Together we share the same mission--to produce and deliver reliable, affordable, and cleaner fuels for our nation and our world. We appreciate your consideration of this request and look forward to the opportunity to work with you to accomplish our shared goals.
Sincerely,

Hi Michael and Lauren,
I am on the federal relations team at API, and I wanted to follow up on Rebecca's note below. We were sorry to miss out on the WV event -- I heard from some of our members that it was great.
CCUS and state primacy are big priorities for our members, and we're hoping to see more states taking charge soon. Our team has been particularly interested in what EPA's plans are in TX and whether there is anything you can share on the plan for public hearings. If you guys are not the right people to ask, I would be grateful if you can point me in the right direction.
Thanks!

Good morning, Michael.
Apologies for not seeing your note yesterday and thereby missing out on this opportunity.
Thank you for the invitation; this is something we would have welcomed the chance to attend. Hopefully there will be similar opportunities in the future, so please do continue to think of us.
CCUS is a priority issue for us and we have been thinking about ways to do more education around its safety record, benefits, and potential. Does that overlap with your team's efforts? If so, perhaps we could find some time to connect. I am also including my colleagues Grace Lacher, who leads our CCUS Subcommittee, and Emily Wong, who leads our Environmental Strategy Subcommittee.
Best, Rebecca

The Honorable Mike Johnson Speaker of the House of Representatives H-232, The Capitol Washington, DC 20510
March 17, 2025
The Honorable John Thune Majority Leader 511 Dirksen Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510
The Honorable Hakeem Jeffries Minority Leader 2267 Rayburn House Office Building Washington, DC 20515
The Honorable Charles Schumer Minority Leader 22 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510
Dear Speaker Johnson, Minority Leader Jeffries, Majority Leader Thune, and Minority Leader Schumer:
Our organizations represent a wide range of stakeholders in the energy, agricultural, and transportation sectors. Together, we comprise the value chain responsible for the production, distribution, retail, and use of transportation fuels. Collectively, we employ tens of millions of Americans-from refinery workers to farmers-- to ensure our nation and others around the globe have the fuel needed for our economies to thrive. We strongly support Congress' efforts to protect consumer vehicle choice by using the Congressional Review Act to disapprove these unachievable California vehicle rules, including those that would ban the internal combustion engine, and would harm American economic and national security.
In recent years California enacted a series of rules, adopted by other states, that mandate the rapid electrification of the transportation sector, including the Advanced Clean Cars II (ACC II) and Advanced Clean Truck (ACT) rules, as well as the unachievable Heavy-Duty Omnibus rule. In fact, the ACC II rule bans the sale of new gasoline-powered and traditional hybrid vehicles by 2035. These rules not only inhibit consumer choice but pose a threat to our national security through reliance on unstable and adversarial supply chains. Furthermore, California and states following its rules have a national impact on U.S. vehicle fleet offerings by accounting for more than 30 percent of the light-duty vehicle sales in the country, compelling manufacturers to make and sell certain models and engine technologies and not others.
While we support reducing emissions in the transportation sector, forced electrification and unachievable standards are not the only way to accomplish this. In a country as big and diverse as ours, vehicle offerings need to be diverse to meet Americans' wide-ranging transportation needs.
Congress has the opportunity to halt California's misguided efforts to tell other Americans what kinds of vehicles they can and cannot buy. We support Administrator Lee Zeldin and the EPA's decision to transmit these rules to Congress due to the profound national impact they will have on all Americans. Congress should decide if such consequential rules are right for the American people and the American economy, not California.
We share the goal of affordable, reliable, and cleaner transportation and look forward to continued engagement on policies that are in the best interest of consumers and U.S. energy and economic security.
