Hi Michael and Lauren, I am on the federal relations team at API, and I wanted to follow up on Rebecca's note below. We were sorry to miss out on the WV event -- I heard from some of our members that it was great. CCUS and state primacy are big priorities for our members, and we're hoping to see more states taking charge soon. Our team has been particularly interested in what EPA's plans are in TX and whether there is anything you can share on the plan for public hearings. If you guys are not the right people to ask, I would be grateful if you can point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Apologies for not seeing your note yesterday and thereby missing out on this opportunity. Thank you for the invitation; this is something we would have welcomed the chance to attend. Hopefully there will be similar opportunities in the future, so please do continue to think of us. CCUS is a priority issue for us and we have been thinking about ways to do more education around its safety record, benefits, and potential. Does that overlap with your team's efforts? If so, perhaps we could find some time to connect. I am also including my colleagues Grace Lacher, who leads our CCUS Subcommittee, and Emily Wong, who leads our Environmental Strategy Subcommittee.
