Hope this answers all the questions. Please reach-out if you have others. Our members would love to hear from him virtually.
The idea would be for the Administrator to speak for about 20 minutes, then take a few questions. 30 minutes in all. We were hoping he could start at 9:15 am ET on the 15th.
The agenda for Tuesday is as follows (if the Administrator can join):
Tuesday April 15 8am - 9am Tom Bevin Co-founder and President of Real Clear Politics 9:15 am - 9:45 am US EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin (virtual) 10:00 am -10:30 am Senator Tim Sheehy (R-MT) (virtual) 10:30 am- Noon NMA Board of Directors Meeting
Topic is still:
With your role as both EPA Administrator and a member of the National Energy Dominance Council, our
member companies would be interested to hear from you about your plans for your agency and its work with other key
ED_018475D_00002877-00007

National Mining Association
February 26, 2025
The Honorable Lee Zeldin Administrator U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 1200 Pennsylvania Ave, NW Washington, DC 20460
Dear Administrator Zeldin:
The National Mining Association (NMA) cordially invites you to speak at our Spring Board of Directors meeting on Monday and Tuesday, April 14-15, 2025, in Sea Island, Georgia. NMA's board of directors represents the association's nearly 300 members. The NMA is the only national trade organization that serves as the voice of the U.S. mining industry and the hundreds of thousands of American workers it employs before Congress, the federal agencies, the judiciary, and the media, advocating for public policies that will help America fully and responsibly utilize its vast natural resources under world-leading environmental, safety and labor standards. Our member company CEOs and executives attend our board meetings, and this April's meeting include strong attendance from our company executives.
The U.S. mining industry is a crucial part of a vibrant U.S. economy--providing energy and raw materials for downstream industries, creating jobs, spurring innovation, ensuring the reliability of critical supply chains for new technologies, manufacturing, critical infrastructure, supporting energy security, national security, and a reliable electric grid.
As Administrator for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), you have pledged to balance domestic energy and mineral production with fulfilling the EPA's mission to protect human health and the environment. There is widespread recognition that we are entering human history's most energy, mineral, and metal-intensive era. The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that by 2026 energy demand from data centers alone will be roughly the equivalent of Japan's annual electricity usage. IEA further estimates that demand for minerals like lithium, copper, graphite, nickel, aluminum, and cobalt, to name a few, will grow by 20 to 40 times by 2040. Consequently, the right policies to secure and expand energy and new domestic mineral production and our supply chains are more important than ever.
With your role as both EPA Administrator and a member of the National Energy Dominance Council, our member companies would be interested to hear from you about your plans for your agency and its work with other key federal departments
101 Constitution Ave. NW / Suite 500 East / Washington, D.C. 20001 / Phone: 202. 463. 2600
ED_018475D_00000792-00001
and agencies to strengthen our nation's energy security and increase domestic mining production and processing. Specifically, we invite you to be our keynote speaker for the morning session on Tuesday, April 15, 2025. We would like you to address the Board at 9 a.m. Eastern Time for approximately thirty minutes, followed by a brief question-and-answer period. If this time does not work, we can accommodate a time between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. on Monday, April 14, or between 8:00 a.m. and noon on Tuesday, April 15. Our meeting will be held at the Sea Island Resort, 100 Cloister Drive, Sea Island, Georgia. We thank you in advance for your consideration of our request and hope your schedule will permit you to give remarks followed by a short question period. Please advise if there is anything NMA can do to assist you and your staff in making appropriate arrangements by contacting Richard Russell, NMA's Senior Vice President of Government Affairs, at (202) 875-3731 or rrussell@nma.org. Sincerely,
Rich Nolan

Thank you Lynn for joining the Chamber's chemistry solutions discussion today. It was a very valuable discussion and look forward to working with you and your office in the near future!
I am writing on behalf of the Arsenic Science Task Force, an informal organization of arsenic stakeholders whose objective is to ensure that the risk assessment of inorganic arsenic carried out by EPA's Integrated Risk Information System is based on sound science.
Please see the attached letter. We ask that you consider the action we request be granted in accordance with the policies of the Trump Administration.
If you have further questions, please reach out to Seth or Charlie who are CC'd on this email.

Dear Administrator Zeldin,
On behalf of the Arsenic Science Task Force' (ASTF), I write to request that you direct the Office of Research and Development to withdraw and remove from the website of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) the recently published toxicological review of inorganic arsenic, developed by the Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) program.' The IRIS toxicological review of inorganic arsenic was posted as final on January 13, 2025, clearly a "midnight" action by the previous Administration. This request fully aligns with President Trump's recent executive actions related to the regulatory reset, unleashing prosperity through deregulation, and workforce optimization.3
EPA's IRIS program has been rife with controversy since its inception in 1988. Congress has never authorized IRIS and since 2009 the U.S. Government Accountability Office has flagged IRIS as a "high risk" program vulnerable to waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement. The IRIS program has routinely issued overly conservative risk assessments that are not based on an objective review of relevant scientific information, and do not reflect actual exposure experienced by the U.S. population to the chemical substances that are subject to these assessments. Alarmingly, these risk assessments and their resulting unsubstantiated risk values are used by EPA program offices, states and local governments to make significant decisions for setting costly regulatory levels for air and water quality, pesticides, as well as waste disposal and remediation.
ASTF is an informal organization of arsenic stakeholders whose objective is to ensure that the risk assessment of inorganic arsenic carried out in the development of EPA's Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) is based on sound science. 2 U.S. EPA, IRIS Toxicological Review of Inorganic Arsenic, CASRN 7440-38-2, EPA/635/R-25/005Fa (January 2025), available at https://iris.epa.govistatic/pdfs/O278tr.pdf. 3 See Regulatory Freeze Pending Review, 90 Fed.

ASTF to Administration Zeldin February 24, 2025 Page 2 of 3
This IRIS assessment of inorganic arsenic is a prime example of the systemic problems with the IRIS program which is unauthorized and untethered to EPA's core mission. For example, it derives toxicity values for cancer that result in a risk value 21 times more stringent than the previous value established in 1995. This value is below naturally occurring levels found in the United States.
The January 13, 2025 review suffers from many additional failures, including a failure to acknowledge the mode of action in the human body that demonstrates a safe threshold above the level to which the U.S. population is exposed, as well as failure to include all the literature that was published in the last five years. Literature that disagrees with IRIS' approach was either ignored or degraded.
Further, the IRIS review of inorganic arsenic includes a fundamentally new process to derive noncancer toxicological values. While certain elements of this novel process have been published individually by IRIS employees in peer-reviewed journals,4 nowhere other than in the Toxicological Review of inorganic arsenic have all the elements been combined into a single problem-solving approach. To underscore the gravity of the situation, the Science Advisory Board (SAB) review panel "recognized that such risk-based approaches for non-cancer effects would require that EPA make new science-policy decisions, including identification of a target risk level for non-cancer effects."5
Although the SAB raised numerous concerns with the IRIS draft, we should note that the peer review panel assembled to review the IRIS assessment of inorganic arsenic was noncompliant with the 2015 Peer Review handbook' and the requirements of the Federal Advisory Committee Act for independence and balanced points of view.
The real-world consequences of this scientifically indefensible toxicological review of inorganic arsenic would be mind-boggling if they were embedded in regulatory determinations. For instance, billions of dollars of scarce federal, state and local resources would be required to meet new drinking water standards, resulting in hardships for rural communities. Additionally, soil remediation levels would necessitate massively costly and scientifically unjustified reopening of Superfund and RCRA sites previously considered safe.
For these reasons, and consistent with President Trump's recent executive actions, we respectfully request that EPA withdraw and remove from the IRIS website the assessment of inorganic arsenic. President Trump's "Regulatory Freeze Pending Review" Executive Memorandum instructed federal agencies to refrain from issuing "any rule in any manner...until a department or agency head appointed or designated by the President...reviews and approves the rule."'

ASTF to Administration Zeldin February 24, 2025 Page 3 of 3
The Executive Order defines "rule" broadly to include "guidance documents" as defined in Executive Order 13891. The order is clearly intended to pause ongoing regulatory actions initiated by the previous administration so that new agency leadership has an opportunity to review these actions to ensure alignment with the current administration's priorities. In this case, EPA rushed to finalize the IRIS toxicological review of inorganic assessment on Jan. 13, 2025, a scant week before the end of the Biden Administration and just eight weeks after the Science Advisory Board completed its final review with over a hundred of outstanding concerns and recommendations, leaving insufficient time for them to be fully addressed. While the document was finalized and posted, we believe it is still a prime candidate for withdrawal and reconsideration given IRIS assessments are a relied upon source of toxicity information and an important foundation for future regulatory decisions by EPA program offices and the states. Additionally, EPA's executive actions on deregulation and workforce optimization certainly apply to EPA's IRIS program. The IRIS program was never statutorily authorized and has repeatedly failed to adequately incorporate high quality and relevant science. Notably, the program's risk values are not subject to rulemaking procedures, interagency review, or appropriate stakeholder engagement. Yet, they form the basis for increased regulation. We believe this request is fully compliant with the meaning and intent of President Trump's recent executive actions, and we respectively request your immediate action.
Sincerely,
,a4oerize.,,

Hope this answers all the questions. Please reach-out if you have others. Our members would love to hear from him virtually.
The idea would be for the Administrator to speak for about 20 minutes, then take a few questions. 30 minutes in all. We were hoping he could start at 9:15 am ET on the 15th.
The agenda for Tuesday is as follows (if the Administrator can join):
Tuesday April 15 8am - 9am Tom Bevin Co-founder and President of Real Clear Politics 9:15 am - 9:45 am US EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin (virtual) 10:00 am -10:30 am Senator Tim Sheehy (R-MT) (virtual) 10:30 am- Noon NMA Board of Directors Meeting
Topic is still:
With your role as both EPA Administrator and a member of the National Energy Dominance Council, our
member companies would be interested to hear from you about your plans for your agency and its work with other key
federal departments and agencies to strengthen our nation's energy security and increase domestic mining production and
processing.
Yes to Q&A if possible.
No press.

Hope this answers all the questions. Please reach-out if you have others. Our members would love to hear from him virtually.
The idea would be for the Administrator to speak for about 20 minutes, then take a few questions. 30 minutes in all. We were hoping he could start at 9:15 am ET on the 15th.
The agenda for Tuesday is as follows (if the Administrator can join):
Tuesday April 15 8am - 9am Tom Bevin Co-founder and President of Real Clear Politics 9:15 am - 9:45 am US EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin (virtual) 10:00 am -10:30 am Senator Tim Sheehy (R-MT) (virtual) 10:30 am- Noon NMA Board of Directors Meeting
ED_018475D_00002918-00007
Topic is still:
With your role as both EPA Administrator and a member of the National Energy Dominance Council, our
member companies would be interested to hear from you about your plans for your agency and its work with other key
federal departments and agencies to strengthen our nation's energy security and increase domestic mining production and
processing.
Yes to Q&A if possible.
No press.
The full agenda for all days is below (not updated yet for the Administrator or Sen. Sheehy)

After the Administrator speaks (time permitting-- I know you have a 9:45 hard stop) we will have live questions am-- not prescreened.
After the introduction, Paul will just turn it over to the Administrator to speak. He will not be asking the Administrator any questions. What we sent is just what we thought the audience would be interested in, but the Administrator can speak to whatever he would like. The audience is executives from mining companies (both mineral and coal).
Let me know if this fully answers your question.

For moderating purposes, Paul will intro the Adm then ask him the below topics one by one, correct?
