NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION 11:18 AM 11:25 AM 11:40 AM 11:50 AM 11:55 AM Administrator Pruitt offers opening remarks Conversation between Administrator Pruitt and Cason begins Cason opens discussion for audience Q&A Cason notes time for one final question Session ends Potential Questions: The EPA has been at the forefront of rolling back harmful Obama Administration regulations. Can you talk about how and why you've been so successful, and what steps were taken during the transition to ensure you hit the ground running? Can you talk a bit about the Administration's decision to leave the Paris Climate Agreement? Where do things stand today? And what was your role in that decision making process? Beyond just rolling back regulations, can you discuss the importance of regulatory certainty? You've highlighted the pivotal role it plays in a healthy economy multiple times, and I'd be curious to hear more about why you feel it is so important. You served more than six years as Oklahoma's Attorney General. How did that experience prepare you for leading the EPA? You've been spending quite a bit of time on road lately, visiting various states and checking in with local officials. What were some of the most notable takeaways from your time on the ground? We've unfortunately seen a lot of naturaldisasters in recent months, both at home and abroad. When these events occur, like Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, a lot of federal dollars make their way to the states for recovery and relief efforts, and this usually means a lot of federal agency involvemert as well. What has been the EPA's role in some of these recent events? 17cv1906 Sierra Club v. EPA 2 ED_001523_00001728-00002
