As seating allows, we will be reaching out to other organizations and I will keep Kari Cutting and the North Dakota Petroleum Council on the list of prospective attendees. I appreciate you providing her information - very helpful! Thanks again and don't hesitate to reach out if I can be of further assistance. Sincerely, Jim Kenney James C.

Hess respectfully declines the invitation due to scheduling conflicts of the appropriate representatives within our organization. I would recommend that you reach out to Kari Cutting with the North Dakota Petroleum Council to discuss the roundtable. She or someone from the NDPC may be a potential alternative stakeholder for this event. She can be reached at kcutting@ndoil.org or 701-223-6380. Regards, Sierra Club v.

As a valued stakeholder committed to responsible oil and natural gas exploration and production, you are cordially invited to participate. At the roundtable, a small number of oil and natural gas stakeholders representing the upstream exploration and production segment will convene to share their individual expertise and experiences. Invited stakeholders will include representatives from industry, trade associations, state agencies, tribal governments, non governmental organizations, as well as USEPA leadership and staff. As the enclosed draft agenda indicates, the roundtable will initially focus on identifying barriers that prevent the shared goal of cost-effective and timely compliance with environmental regulations. We are hopeful that these discussions will begin the process of building partnerships to achieve better compliance through thoughtful solutions achieved together with all stakeholders' points of view being considered. The roundtable will later focus on taking stakeholders' ideas and examples with the express goal of releasing the proceedings of the roundtable publicly. Please note, the facilitated roundtable discussions will not be attributed to individual stakeholders and EPA does not aim to seek consensus. Following the January roundtable, ECOS and IOGCC have agreed to continue to build on the momentum of the roundtable discussions at their respective Spring 2018 meetings. Since space is limited, attendance is by invitation only. If you are not personally able to attend, you are encouraged to designate someone within your organization to take your seat. If you or a designee from your organization cannot attend, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can fill the vacant seat with another stakeholder. To secure your space at the roundtable, please RSVP by Thursday, January 4, 2018 to James Kenney, our Senior Policy Advisor for Unconventional Oil and Natural Gas, via email at kenney.iames@epa.gov. Jim will g send you a confirmation email and additional logistics. If you have any questions about the oil and natural gas roundtable, please feel free to contact Jim by email or by phone at!
