March 13, 15, 23, 24 or even 7 or 8, if possible, would be better, but if those dates aren't available then we can stick with 16. Please let me know if any of the alternatives work on your end.

EPA ED_001523B_00007097-00006 From: Mat Lapinski Sent: Tuesday, February 28, 2017 8:16 AM To: 'Hale.Michelle@epa.gov' Subject: Meeting request on behalf of HollyFrontier Corporation Michelle, I have been asked to try to schedule a few minutes with Administrator Pruitt on behalf of George Damiris, HollyFrontier Corporation's President and CEO. He would like to discuss the renewable fuel standard and point of obligation issue, as well as the broader EPA policies that impact the company. Based in Dallas, HollyFrontier is a merchant refiner that operates 5 refineries in Kansas, Oklahoma, Utah, Wyoming and New Mexico. HollyFrontier processes roughly 500,000 barrels of crude daily. They have a market cap of about $7 billion and employ roughly 5,000 people. Mr. Damiris will travel to Washington at your convenience should the Administrator have availability. I have attached comments filed by the company last week on the denial of their petition to open a rulemaking to move the point of obligation. Thanks for your consideration, and please let me know if you have any questions or need more information. My direct dial # is 202-499-4787. 17cv1906 Sierra Club v.
