Hi Mandy,
I hope all is well on your end. Per your request from our April 20, 2017 meeting, please find attached a brief summary on the number ofjobs provided by the U.S. biomass hearth industry. We estimate that the industry provides at least 38,250 jobs in the U.S. The methodology behind this finding is included in the attached. Will this number be used only in internal memos or in a more public setting?
Could you give me a call when you have a moment? I have a time-sensitive question regarding our litigation and the discussions with OAQPS staff.
Please let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to speaking with you soon.
Thank you, Rachel
