Hi Sydney, hope you're well. Wanted to follow up on the below request on behalf of UPA. We understand the Administrator could have a heavy travel schedule this summer, so we'd also like to offer him an opportunity to visit a uranium mining site in lieu of a meeting in DC if that will make the scheduling process easier. There are sites in South Texas, Wyoming, Utah, and Nebraska that are available for a visit as his travel allows.
Thanks again for your consideration, and please let me know if you have any questions or need more information.
Kelli

Hi Sydney,
Really appreciate your quick response to our earlier exchange. Wanted to follow up on the UPA meeting request after talking with the Office of Policy. One of the UPA member companies was in just this week and met with Samantha Dravis and had a really good discussion about the state of the domestic uranium industry and the impact that regulations like Part 192 are having on jobs and production levels.
Given that productive discussion, we'd like to bring the rest of the UPA CEO's out to discuss the issue directly with Administrator Pruitt as a follow up. The viability of the domestic uranium industry has implications for both jobs and national and economic security, as we are now dependent on foreign sources for 94% of the uranium needed to power our nuclear reactors. While some of the headwinds the industry faces are market-related, regulations like Part 192 are

having a devastating impact.
Would love to work with you to get a meeting on the books for the UPA CEO's and Administrator Pruitt anytime during the month of June. I attached our original meeting request, and included a list of UPA member companies below.
Please let me know if we can provide any further information, and thank you for your consideration.
Kelli
