EPA ED_001523B_00006604-00003 range burning, with Administrator Pruitt. There will be a group of approximately six Kansas Farm Bureau members in Washington, DC on the morning of Wednesday, May 24 where we would be able to visit. Our main concern is the challenge of needing a prescribed fire to maintain the natural ecosystem of the Flint Hills in Kansas and the Osage Hills in Oklahoma and how smoke from these necessary fires impact the ozone and PM2.5 standards. Exceedances or violations of a national ambient air quality standard directly related to prescribed fires in the Flint Hills and Osage Hills is becoming a challenge to manage. In 2011, Sens. Inhofe and Moran introduce a bill addressing this issue: https://www.moran.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/news-releases9 lD=dc891dd7-ad7c-4d8f-83f7aa7c4b644b3f So far this year the media has written a number of stories: http://cjonline.eom/news/state-govemment/local/2017-04-18/buming-questions-traditioneconomics-cloud-debate-prairie http://ioiimalstar.com/news/local/article 420984a8-e0a3-546e-a36d-7333898b551f.' http://joumalstar.com/news/state-and-regional/nebraska/choked-up-about-kansas-smokecollaboration-might-help-more-than/article f245db74-84bd-522a-8de8-af6f5 Id72da9.html Thank you for your consideration, Ryan Flickner Senior Director, Public Policy Kansas Farm Bureau 2627 KFB Plaza Manhattan, KS 66503-8154 Direct: (785) 587-6327 17cv1906 Sierra Club v.
