Purpose of the Meeting: Meeting with C-level aluminum industry executives to discuss EPA activity, particularly in the area of the midterm review of vehicle fuel economy and regulatory reform.
Background on the Meeting: Aluminum is a critical element of the nation's manufacturing base, supporting 713,000 jobs and $186 billion in economic output, approximately 1% of GDP. Since 2013, the aluminum industry has invested or committed to invest more than $2.3 billion in U.S. manufacturing, largely to capture historic demand growth for aluminum in the passenger vehicle and light truck market as OEMs strive for improved vehicle fuel economy. Underthe right environmental and economic conditions, the industry has the opportunity to grow and further contribute to the nation's manufacturing base. In addition, our industry continues to be heavily involved with EPA staff, NHTSA staff and the California Air Resources BoardA in providing input both as part of the auto and light truck mid-term review process as well as the recent heavy truck phase 2 emissions rule.

Tempering this growth and growth potential is a difficult international trade environment, as well as a challenging domestic environmental regulatory structure and we would like to further share the industry's thoughts on environmental regulatory reform in an open dialogue with the administrator. This will supplement our recent public comment written submittal to EPA regarding opportunities for environmental regulatory reform.
Role of the Administrator: We would first like to introduce the industry and its key issues at the EPA with the Administrator. We also welcome the administrator's view on these topics, along with any additional areas of focus related to his priorities and how we might support those efforts.
Attendees: Heidi Brock, President & CEO of the Aluminum Association, along with approximately 5 senior level executives representing major domestic aluminum producing companies with particular emphasis on the automotive sector.
Point of Contact: Joe Quinn VP, Public Affairs The Aluminum Association
