EPA 18cv3472 NDCA Tier 3/4 ED 002061 00079511-00001 CropLife America is pleased to support the nomination of Andrew Wheeler to serve as the Deputy Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). CLA is the national trade association that represents the manufacturers, formulators and distributors of pesticides in the United States. CLA's member companies produce, sell and distribute virtually all the vital and necessary crop protection and biotechnology products used by American farmers, ranchers and landowners. The mission of the EPA is to protect human health and the environment. However, more than a year into the new Administration, the EPA lacks Senate-confirmed Deputy and Assistant Administrators to carry out this mission. The EPA plays an important role in CLA members' ability to bring innovation to the market place. Ensuring that the Agency is appropriately staffed will allow the EPA to carry out its work on behalf of all stakeholders. Mr. Wheeler's substantial public service experience makes him an excellent choice for leadership at the EPA. He began his career at the EPA, where he worked on toxic chemical, pollution prevention and rightto-know issues, and he was awarded the EPA Bronze Medal twice for his accomplishments. Mr. Wheeler also served as the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee majority staff director, minority staff director, and chief counsel. In these roles, he worked on every major piece of environmental and energy-related legislation before Congress for over a decade. To ensure that EPA is able to carry out its important work in an effective and efficient manner, we urge you to vote in support of Mr. Wheeler's nomination to serve as Deputy Administrator. Sincerely, Jay Vroom CEO, CropLife America Cc: The Honorable Mitch McConnell Majority Leader United State Senate Washington, DC 20510 Sierra Club v.
