Fyi. Sorry, I misspelled your name in the original message
From: Wehrum, William L. Sent: Monday, May 22, 2017 6:30 PM To: Hupp, Sydney (hupp.sydney@epa.gov) Cc: 'gunasekera.mandy@epa.gov'; Susan J. Miller (smiller@bia.org); 'Paul Regina' Subject: Meeting Request
I am writing on behalf of the Brick Industry Association (BIA) to request a meeting with Administrator Pruitt. BIA is a national trade association representing clay brick manufacturers, distributorships, and their suppliers. Two-thirds of all the brick shipped in North American is manufactured by BIA members. In addition, many BIA member companies are family-owned small businesses.
Many of BIA's members are subject to a recently-promulgated National Emissions Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Brick Manufacturing (i.e., the "Brick MACT"). BIA has a pending challenge to this rule in the DC Circuit. BIA does not want to discuss the litigation with the Administrator. BIA does hope to discuss with the Administrator the enormous impact that the rule is having on the industry and some of BIA's ideas as to how the rule could be improved and the burden lessened.
A group of BIA members will be in Washington, DC, on Thursday, June 15. A meeting that date would be ideal. If that does not work for Administrator Pruitt, we would appreciate any suggested alternative dates.
Please feel free to contact me if you need anything more. Thanks for your consideration.
