Please see draft notes from last week's call, below, and let me know if you have any changes/corrections. Thanks, Andrea Barbery Office of Intergovernmental Relations U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 202-564-1397 Notes from 4/4/17 P&P Co-Chairs Call Transition Update Andrea Barbery (OCIR) announced three new political appointees joining the Administrator's office. Kenneth Wagner is a Senior Advisor to the Administrator for Regional and State Affairs. He also serves as the Director of the Office of Regional Operations. Ken will be spending much of his time on the road, doing Regional and state visits. He previously practiced law in Tulsa, OK. Troy Lyons is the Associate Administrator for the Office of Congressional and Intergovernmental Relations; Troy most recently worked at Hess Corporation as the Manager of Government Affairs. Also joining OCIR is Tate Bennett, who serves as a Senior Advisor. Tate comes to EPA from the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, and has worked for Senator McConnell and his counterparts in the House. Budget Update Joe Layman (OCFO) reported no status changes associated with the continuing resolution, which expires April 28, 2017. ECOS Spring Meeting Pat Stevens (Wl) gave an update on the Planning Committee activities at the ECOS 2017 Spring Meeting. The Planning Committee has 3 resolutions up for discussion: 8-10 Strengthening the State-EPA Partnership Including a Continued Commitment to NEPPS (link), 11-1 Objection to U.S. EPA's Imposition of Interim Guidance, Interim Rules, Draft Policy and Reinterpretation Policy (link), and 11-2 Respectful Use of Data (link). Planning Committee leaders also plan to convene in-person at the Spring Meeting. Gerard Bulanowski (R8) inquired about recent remarks by the Administrator regarding a re-commitment to state partnerships. ECOS clarified that the NEPPS resolution under consideration will make changes to reference recent initiatives such as the 2015 NEPPS renewal, Field[Guide.to.fjexibijity and R joint process improvement, etc. NPM Guidance/NEPPS Workgroup Kathy O'Brien (OCFO) shared with the group plans for the FY18/19 NPM Guidance process. With the FY18 President's Budget expected issuance in mid-May, OCFO is considering options for the release of the 18/19 guidances. EPA will Sierra Club v. EPA 18cv3472 NDCA Tier 10 ED 002061 00035586-00002 convene the Workgroup after the FY18 PB is released, to discuss what form/scope the guidances should take, and what will be of value to Regions, states, and tribes. State Grants Subgroup The State Grants Subgroup did not meet in March. The next meeting of this group is set for April 27. Beth Graves (ECOS) suggested it would be useful to have a high-level PPG Overview training for new commissioners. OGD is developing a training which will include feedback from the state grants workgroup. ECOS also asked EPA to share data gathered from OCIR's 2016 NEPPS implementation survey, which collected information from EPA Regions on the use of PPAs and PPGs. Mike Osinski (OCIR) stated this information was undergoing QA and will be posted soon. Melanie Wood (R8) asked whether states on the line had a unified permit ("mega-permit") program. Gary Baughman (CO) stated he was not aware of continued pursuit of this effort; he and Melanie agreed to follow up offline. Next Call: Tuesday, May 2 Sierra Club v.
