Thanks for taking some time with me on May 31, 2017, to discuss the Midwest Ozone Group (MOG) and its interest in meeting with Administrator Pruitt to discuss both its Petition to Reconsider the CSAPR Update filed on December 23, 2016, and its Regulatory Reform comments filed on May 15, 2017. These documents (both of which are attached) describe MOG's concerns about the technical and legal issues associated with the modeling and development of the CSAPR Update and the general implementation of the ozone NAAQS. Among these concerns are the failure to have considered existing on-the-books control programs, the failure to have accounted for the effects of international emissions and the imposition of control requirements solely on electric generating units, resulting in prohibited "over control" of sources in many states.

The members of and participants in the MOG include: American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity, American Electric Power, American Forest & Paper Association, Ameren, Alcoa, AR1PPA, Associated Electric Cooperative, Citizens Energy Group, Council of Industrial Boiler Owners, Duke Energy, East Kentucky Power Cooperative, FirstEnergy, Indiana Energy Association, Indiana Utility Group, LGE / KU, Ohio Utility Group, Olympus Power, and the Springfield (IL) City Water, Light & Power.
