Ms. Fay,
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (ERA), the Environmental Council of States (ECOS), and the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission (IOGCC) are cosponsoring an oil and natural gas roundtable to be held on January 23 and 24, 2018 in Denver, Colorado. As a valued stakeholder committed to responsible oil and natural gas exploration and production, you are cordially invited to participate.
At the roundtable, a small number of oil and natural gas stakeholders representing the upstream exploration and production segment will convene to share their individual expertise and experiences. Invited stakeholders will include representatives from industry, trade associations, state agencies, tribal governments, non-governmental organizations, as well as USEPA leadership and staff. As the enclosed draft agenda indicates, the roundtable will initially focus on identifying barriers that prevent the shared goal of cost-effective and timely compliance with environmental regulations. We are hopeful that these discussions will begin the process of building partnerships to achieve better compliance through thoughtful solutions achieved together with all stakeholders' points of view being considered. The roundtable will later focus on taking stakeholders' ideas and examples with the express goal of releasing the proceedings of the roundtable publicly. Please note, the facilitated roundtable discussions will not be attributed to individual stakeholders and EPA does not aim to seek consensus. Following the January roundtable, ECOS and IOGCC have agreed to continue to build on the momentum of the roundtable discussions at their respective Spring 2018 meetings.
