Hi Michael --
I wanted to make you aware that AGA has a staff-level meeting with OAR on April 1. Details are below. Hopefully that will be a sufficient prerequisite for us to schedule a meeting between Karen Harbert and Administrator Zeldin. If not, please let me know what further steps AGA should take.
Thanks!

Thora --
Thank you for the quick response to AGA's meeting request. April 1 from 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM still works for us and we are flexible in that window. We defer to whatever time frame works best for the EPA staff we will be meeting with.
Meeting attendees from AGA will be:
Matthew Agen -- Chief Regulatory Counsel, Energy ( -^agen@aga.org)
Jennifer Golinsky Baseman -- Senior Counsel, Environment (jbaseman@aga.org)
Ashley Duckman -- Managing Director, Policy & Strategy (
_ ' __
Allison Ealey Cunningham -- Senior Director, Governmental Affairs & Public Policy (acunningham@aga.org)
If possible, it would be great to include EPA political staff in the meeting, but either way we are looking forward to meeting with OAP career staff on April 1 to discuss AGA's policy priorities.
Best regards,
Jen
