For us, it is a culmination of an e ffo rt that started as far back as 2016. Our plan is that we w ill be requesting meetings w ith our CEOs and the W hite House and also w ith Adm inistrator Pruitt and Secretary Perry on June 20/ 21. For home appliances, however, the continued success o f the ENERGY STAR program is an essential part of our industry's business. That is why you are seeing so much energy behind this e ffo rt from us. At our recent Board meeting, our members discussed how im portant the future success of the ENERGY STAR program was to the appliance industry's business, and after a year and a half of inaction, they decided to ramp it all the way up to our CEOs and the W hite House, Adm inistrator Pruitt and Secretary Perry. Our view is that the current bifurcated structure of the Appliance Standard Program being at DOE and the ENERGY STAR program being at EPA creates inefficiencies fo r our member companies and fo r the government. Appliance manufacturers financial expenditures are redundantly made to DOE and EPA activities, such as responding to m ultiple agency analysis, reporting and disclosure, consultants, certification/verification, etc. If you are agreeable and feel it would be helpful, we would welcome the chance to meet w ith you again on this at any tim e. Thank you fo r your tim e on this. I understand we are not in alignment quite yet, but remain hopeful we can continue to discuss. Thanks again.
