I am so excited about the opportunities we see with the new EPA! By way of introduction, I represent NewMarket Corporation which is a global petroleum additive company headquartered in Richmond, Virginia. We are about $3 billion in sales with 3,000 employees globally. Basically what we do is manufacture additive packages for refiners that create performance characteristics for the gasoline and diesel fuel they sell. For example, if they want cleaner burning fuel, we create that package or cleaner engines, we make that package. It is how the refiners differentiate their product lines from each other. We also product lubricants. So the chemicals in STP, for example, are made by us. We are fortunate to be the factory fill provider to car manufacturers. When you buy a car from the lot, the lubricants in the new car are ours. While we have a lot of issues from TSCA to Clean Air and in between like all chemical companies, while you were speaking to us, I thought there may be one issue that we have that falls in your shop. Among our many fuel additives is one that is manganese based. We follow anything going on with regard to manganese. As such, we have been following the order EPA placed on S.H. Bell literally in the 11th hour of the former Administration. We agree with the steel industry that the manganese emissions from that plant do NOT present an "imminent and substantial endangerment". We have over the years as a company conducted many health related studies to manganese emissions some of which EPA in the past have considered state of the art work. So we can back up our statements. I was wondering if we could come in and discuss the manganese situation. I believe the consent 17cv1906 Sierra Club v. EPA - 6/22 Production ED 001523 00007604-00001 order has not been entered though that could happen pretty soon unless EPA withdraws it which we would appreciate. If you are already on top of this, great! If not, we'd be happy to review both what our company does and how such consent orders such as this aren't helpful. And in the meantime, if you need further information, let me know. Thank you for your time! Barbara NewMarket Corporation/Aft emical New < *M T" %' * t"" " 17cv1906 Sierra Club v.
