Sorry I am so slow in turning around the background info for tomorrow's meeting with Brittany (copied). Attached please find USTMA's comments for Evaluation of Existing Regulations. This is probably the best backgrounder for insights into the TMA perspective.
On the apology front, I have one more. I had aj_

I hope you had a good weekend!
Sorry for the delay, but we are all set to meet at 11a tomorrow. With respect to materials, I'm still waiting to receive them and will follow up asap. However, in the meantime, following are the attendees:
Tracey Norberg (Senior Vice President & General Counsel; US Tire Manufacturers Association)
Jesse Levine (Manager, Regulatory Affairs; TMA)
Sarah Amick (Vice President EHS&S and Senior Counsel; TMA)

As you have likely noticed, the Rubber Manufacturers Association has been renamed since we set up the meeting to the US Tire Manufacturers Association. New logo, email and name to better reflect the mission and membership. Otherwise, completely die same entity.
Thank you!

Request: Any chance you have time in the next week or so to meet with me and a client, the Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA). We would like to come in and discuss issues in your purview relative to the domestic tire manufacturers - including the nanomaterial reporting rule, residual risk and technology review, Phase 2 rule, biomass and TSCA implementation. Following are some bullets from a letter they transmitted in May, just to give you some color of what's currently on their radar.
Sierra Club v. EPA 18cv3472 NDCA
Tier 7
ED 002061 00082267-00002
RMA encourages EPA to meet the court deadline (2018 or 2020) for completing the RTR review of the Tire MACT
RMA members are committed to effective implementation ofthe Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act (LCSA).
RMA recommends that EPA stay the effective date ofthe nanomaterial reporting rule until guidance is issued to clarify reporting obligations in the rule.
RMA encourages EPA to accept RMA's petition for reconsideration ofthe Phase 2 rule and issue technical corrections to address the issues raised.
RMA recommends that EPA designate biomass as carbon neutral and remove the burden of ASTM testing to determine the biogenic fraction of tire-derived fuel (TDF).
