Per below and appreciating how busy you'all must be I was wondering if you might be bale to point me in the right direction in terms of a June 7/8 meeting for Roger Kelly from Continental and Pete Regan from Domestic Energy Producers Alliance. (Blu will be in town on the 7th as well. I have reinserted the regulatory issues that Pete and Roger are hoping to discuss. Any help or guidance would be much appreciated. Thank you. David David Crane 1. Oil and Gas Effluent Limitation Guidelines and Standards The final rule entitled "Effluent Limitations Guidelines and Standards for the Oil and Gas Extraction Point Source Category" published in the Federal Register on June 28, 2016 largely ignored input from industry and should be rescinded. A categorical prohibition on the practices of the unconventional oil and gas industry limits innovation and imposes unnecessary restrictions to the industry. 2. Quad Oa EPA Methane Rule. This rule follows the original Quad O rule passed in the 2012-2013 timeframe and is primarily directed at methane as a green house gas/pollutant. Passed under the NSPS (New Source Performance Standard) review authority of the Clean Air Act. 3. Social Cost of Carbon (including Methane) The March 28th Executive Order on "Promoting Energy Independence and Economic Growth " directed agencies against consideration of climate change or green house gases in regulatory development or other energy considerations. This directive affects the Quad Oa rule among others. 17cv1906 Sierra Club v. EPA - 6/22 Production ED 001523 00004394-00001 4. RCRA Waste Exemption The EPA has committed (2016 Obama EPA)to revisiting this matter and the environs surely expect some serious changes. This issue was handled in the states through state review. Need to see where they are, if anywhere, on this. Need to make sure staff isn't cooking something up.

I thought your boss did a terrific job, both the Administrator and the POTUS. I know you guys have been swamped but wanted to circle back on the below to see if we could get something on the books for the 7th or 8th. If the 7th Blu and Pete will join Roger. If the 8th It would be myself and Roger Kelly from Continental. Right now on the 7th we have an 11am at Treasury and a 5pm at Interior but otherwise flexible. EPA is a top priority for us so am hoping to plug something in and then build the rest of our schedule around same. Thank you and please let me know if I can provide any additional information.

A small group of Domestic Energy Producers Alliance guys are coming in town next week with a focus on regulatory issues. Roger Kelly from Continental will be heading up the issue discussion. Pete Regan and Blu are coming as well though Blu might be running a separate schedule. I'm sure you guys will hook up either way on your own. I am hoping you might be able to plug me in to the right staff at the EPA for the appropriate issues for purposes of scheduling a meeting? It would be a big help. We'll come in prepared.
