Hi Michael -- I think for a staff-level meeting it would be most efficient to focus on AGA's OAR priorities. I'm not sure which specific political staffers are assigned to those priorities (and I understanding the agency is still staffing up so it might be TBD). What would be ideal for AGA would be one meeting with both OAQPS staff and OAP staff in attendance, covering the following issues: OAQPS (Clean Air Act Sec. 111, Clean Air Act Sec. 110 state implementation plans) and OAP (GHGRP, GHG Inventory, ENERGY STAR). AGA would bring approx. 2 to 4 of our staff to this meeting. Jen Jennifer Golinsky Baseman I Senior Counsel, Environment American Gas Association 400 N.

Hi Michael -- Following up on your call this morning: I checked with my AGA colleagues and, as expected, our organization has not had any staff-level meetings with EPA since President Trump took office. We are happy to schedule a staff-level meeting in advance of Administrator Zeldin meeting with AGA's Karen Harbert if that is the Administrator's preference. For your reference, AGA's top priorities at EPA are largely covered by the following program offices: Office of Air and Radiation -- particularly OAQPS (Clean Air Act Sec. 111, state implementation plans) and OAP (GHGRP, GHG Inventory, ENERGY STAR, MERP), as well as ORIA (indoor air quality) Office of Water -- particularly Clean Water Act permitting via OWM and OWOW Office of Land and Emergency Management -- particularly OEM (RMP) Please let me know if there is any further information I can provide.

Hi Michael -- Sierra Club FOIA Request: 2025-EPA-04193 ED_018475D_00000021-00004 SC_EVERSPLIT0006826 I just left you a voicemail but wanted to follow up by email as well. AGA's President and CEO, Karen I-!?rheI, is hoping to schedule a meeting with the Administrator to discuss AGA's environmental priorities and how our trade association can be helpful to EPA. AGA Board Chair L....Ard Yatt.._ of NiSource may wish to participate in the meeting as well, depending on his schedule. In case you have not seen them yet, I am attaching AGA's January 16 letter to the EPA Transition Team and AGA's broader letter to the Administration and 119th Congress regarding our organization's priorities. I anticipate that Karen and Lloyd will want to discuss these issues with Administrator Zeldin in their meeting. I am copying Carolyn Farrell, Manager of the AGA President's Office, to help with meeting scheduling. Please let me know if there is any additional information I can provide that would be helpful.
