Re: FRONTLINE (PBS) interview request for Scott Pruitt
Will work on these and get back to you tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone On Oct 2, 2017, at 4:52 PM, James Jacoby <ijacoby@leftright.tv> wrote:
Hello Jahan,
We are in the process of finishing our film for FRONTLINE that is scheduled to air on October 11th. As you know from our prior communication, the film traces the political rise of Administrator Pruitt along with the movement, in which he participated, that challenged the former administration's approach. And as you know, over the past few months, we have repeatedly requested an interview with Mr. Pruitt.
We are now seeking your comment on claims in published reports and in our film, from former EPA staffers.
1) They have characterized the Administrator and his staff as inhospitable to their input and the facts of the case, secretive, and careful to avoid creating a public record. What is your response?
2) Specifically, we have been told that first press release announcing the review of the effluent limitations guidelines (See link, https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/epa-reconsider-elg-rule) contained erroneous information: citing the 1.2 billion as the highest cost which could be spent to comply with the rule in a few years invalidates the 480 million average annual cost which assumes costs are spread out over a number of years. If you cite a maximum cost over a few years, then you need to cite a much lower average annual cost than 480M.

ED 002061 00010888-00001
3) We were also told that attempts to correct the record on the effluent limitations guideline press release by EPA staff went unanswered, and then afterwards Administrator Pruitt did not heed the recommendations of his senior staff on this topic.
We would greatly appreciate a timely response to this request because we are locking our film this week, if possible by end of day Wednesday, October 4th.
Thank you,
James Jacoby and Anya Bourg

Sent you the email below. I just wanted to reiterate something: the bottom line is we want to understand where the Administrator is coming from and where he wants to bring the agency. Frontline is the best possible venue to get into depth and nuance as opposed to soundbites. As we discussed, there's a prevailing narrative out there about the Administrator; if there's more to the story, we're seeking to understand it.
Many thanks,
James
