Hi Dan - thanks so much for reaching out. We really appreciate opportunities to hear directly from regulated entities, and you guys have provided us with very helpful and constructive comments.
Brittany Bolen will be happy to speak at your conference. Brittany is the Deputy Associate Administrator at the Office of Policy, and also a member of EPA's Regulatory Reform Task Force. I've cc'd Brittany on this email; please coordinate with Will Lovell (also cc'd) regarding logistics, etc. And if there is anything else you need from me, please let me know how I can be of service!
Cheers, Sarah

Good afternoon Sarah,

I wanted to forward this email to you from Jeff Hannapel who is one of the American Foundry Society (AFS) representatives in Washington, DC. The AFS puts on an EHS Conference every year and this year the conference will be held in Birmingham, AL from October 31st thru November 2nd. On Wednesday November 1st we are hoping to have someone from USEPA give our membership a presentation on the Regulatory Reform process within the agency. As you note from Jeff's email, we as a trade association have provided comments to USEPA on two occasions regarding regulatory reform and we have also provided comments to the Department of Commerce.
Since we mentioned (and attached) the comments that we made to USEPA at your request, I thought I should make you aware of our request to the agency for someone to speak at our conference. Our membership is very interested in learning more about how regulatory reform is being implemented and a presentation by someone from the Office of Policy would be well received by the audience. I hope you will assist us in making this happen.
Finally, I wanted to remind you that AFS is committed to providing additional feedback regarding the air issues that were the subject of our July 29th letter to you. We have a number of industry experts within our EHS Division that are willing to meet with subject matter experts from USEPA to provide more detail and examples surrounding the comments that were in our letter. I made a similar offer to Patrick Davis via voice mail in August.
Please let us know how we can follow up on our meeting of June 20th and our letter of July 29th.
Thanks, Dan Oman

Re: Request to Speak at American Foundry Society EHS Conference
Dear Ms. Dravis:
On behalf of the American Foundry Society (AFS), I would like to invite you to present a review and update on EPA's regulatory review process at the AFS Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) Conference in Birmingham, Alabama on November 1, 2017. AFS has been active in providing input to EPA on the regulatory reform process. For your reference, I
Sierra Club v. EPA 18cv3472 NDCA
Tiers 8&9
ED 002061 00122159-00002
have attached a copy of the regulatory reform comments that AFS submitted to EPA in May. In addition, representatives of AFS met with Administrator Pruitt's office in June and provided a follow up letter on regulatory reform issues in July, which is also attached. The current regulatory reform efforts appear to provide opportunities to minimize regulatory burdens on U.S. manufacturing, while continuing to promote superior environmental protection. We would be honored if you could make a presentation that focused on the regulatory reform process and how the agency is managing the process.
The annual AFS EHS Conference is attended by EHS professionals in the metalcasting industry and highlights the most critical EHS issues facing the metalcasting industry. We expect to have over 100 participants at this year's conference that is scheduled from October 31 to November 2. I would be happy to provide you with additional details on the AFS EHS Conference.
I hope that you or someone from your office would consider joining us at the AFS EHS Conference in Birmingham. If I can provide any additional information or answer any questions, please contact me by email or phone at 202-257-3756. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
