Hi Tate and Maddy,
Attached is the updated attendee list (37) as of today. The agenda you laid out is fine with us. I'm at my desk all day tomorrow so I'll give you a call. You and Rusty may have spoken this afternoon too. But, I'd like to reach out as well just to make sure we're all set. We can discuss the agenda, the questions, the Babbage gift and any other details. Thanks for all your help!

Hey Andi!

We would like to do a roundtable and he can kick off with an overview of what we are working on, and maybe leave time for one or two follow up questions. I'd love to speak with you or Rusty about that in advance pre-meeting i Ex. 6
Ex. 6 iwhen you have the time.
Also, what is the award Bob Babbage is talking about? Cabinet officials legally cannot accept most "awards" per EPA's counsel so I wanted to get some information on that. I know he'd be very appreciative, but I wanted to flesh that out with you first so as to avoid an embarrassing situation on our end where he may be offered an award he cannot legally accept! Thanks for your understanding there.
Thanks!

Hi Tate,
Sorry for the delay. Attached is the list of Commerce Lexington's confirmed attendees (35) for the meeting with Administrator Pruitt on Wed, July 12 at 2:30 pm at the EPA. I'm waiting to hear back from Dave Moss and two mining companies. So, we might get as high as 38. As you can see, we will have a diverse delegation with representatives from coal, utilities, natural gas and other businesses concerned about regulatory impacts on low cost energy in Kentucky. I will send the final list to Sydney Hupp and Cheryl Woodward tomorrow. Cheryl has sent us detailed directions for entering the building and going through security. She said she would be onsite to help guide us to the room location. I will include you on my correspondence with them tomorrow.
We are finalizing our policy priorities tomorrow morning so I will provide you with the detailed sections related to energy and environment issues. Some topics the group would like to discuss include:
Overview of the EPA's overall regulatory approach and strategies o Support efforts to eliminate overly burdensome or duplicative environmental or energy regulatory primacy across agencies/states o Support review process of all MOU's, MOA's related to environmental issues o Support eliminating the use of guidance documents as requirements o Support providing states with maximum flexibility in managing programs
Update on implementation of 111 (b) and 111 (d) of the Clean Air Act Update on Waters of the US Update on Mercury Air Toxins Rule Timetable for regional administrator appointments
In terms of the meeting agenda, does Administrator Pruitt have a preference on how the meeting flows? Rusty and I were thinking it may be beneficial for this be an informal roundtable discussion. I thought Rusty could introduce Administrator Pruitt to the group and kick-off the discussion with a couple of questions to him. Then, Rusty and I can be

prepared with questions to help guide the discussion - or open it up to Q&A with attendees. Would you like for us to prepare a meeting agenda? We're happy to do whatever works best and defer to your guidance.
Thanks for all your help. We are looking forward to the visit.
