I think the UEP membership would generally be interested in hearing anything the new administration would want to highlight - goals, recent efforts, changes in structure or programs. As far as issues they are interested in, here is the priority list: Water o Nutrient/water quality efforts o Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation rules and the current effort underway with the Animal Ag Water Quality Subcommittee of the FRRCC o WOTUS Air o National Air Emissions Monitoring Study for Animal Feeding Operations and the Air Compliance Agreement PFAS Happy to chat if that would be easier.

Michael, I got your contact information from my friend and client, Michael Formica at National Pork Producers Council. I am sending you the note below that I sent to Turner and Derrick yesterday. I am hoping you may be able to help me find the right EPA employee to come speak to the United Egg Producers about EPA's work in general and on any of the topics outlined in the attached. I am happy to discuss. I will also be in your office on May 6 meeting with Jess Kramer and OW leadership for another client, the Ag Nutrient Policy Council. Hope to hear from you soon - and meet you in person as well!

I am reaching out today in my capacity working on environmental issues for the United Egg Producers and to follow up on the chain below that I had sent to Travis and Chad. I know both Travis and Chad are very busy, so I do not want to keep bugging them. I am hoping one or both of you would be able to attend this meeting and present to the United Egg Producers - or direct me to the best person to do so. Please see below for additional detail, but here are the basics: I would love for one or both of you to join the UEP during our Environment and Sustainability Committee meeting on May 21from 2:15-3:30 pm at the Hyatt Regency (400 New Jersey Avenue, NW). I can build the agenda around your availability and how long you would be interested in speaking. For background, I am also attaching a letter that was sent to USDA Secretary Rollins with a copy to Administrator Zeldin on the environmental regulatory relief issues identified as part of the egg pricing strategy. Please let me know if you have any questions or if we need to set a time to briefly discuss.

Our committee meeting will be May 21 from 2:15-3:30 pm. In my previous email, I noted I was awaiting the specific time that afternoon. Of course, if it is easier, we could plan to bring a few egg producers to your office instead on May 22. Please let me know your preference and who I should work with to schedule. Thank you!

I am reaching out to extend an invitation for you and/or your key leadership and staff to join the United Egg Producers Environment and Sustainability Committee while we are in DC on May 21 and 22. The committee is comprised of representatives of egg farms from across the country who have a specific interest in environmental regulatory issues, but the meeting is also open to general UEP membership to listen in. Our meeting will be at the Hyatt Regency (400 New Jersey Avenue, NW) with committee meetings on May 21 from 1:00 pm- 6:00 pm. If that day would work, I can provide you the specific time and location for our committee meeting within that window. As an alternative, I could also bring a group of committee members to the Agency on May 22 around their meetings across town. The topics in which we have interest are all those outlined in the attached letter, but we would also welcome Agency representatives to fill us in on other Agency priorities. Feel free to reach out to discuss or send me to the proper folks for scheduling. I appreciate it!
