Erik and Justin, if your schedules have opened up a bit (perhaps wishful thinking), could we schedule a follow-up work session on the biogenic issue for the week prior to New Years or in the very early part of January?
If possible, it would be great to resolve this issue for Heartland investment in the first year of the Trump Administration.

All, could we schedule a second work session on the resolution of the biogenic issue this week or next?
We found the first session very productive.

CONFIDENTIAL
Justin and Eric, thanks again for taking the time last week to work through a legal analysis of the biogenic C02 issue. As discussed, to facilitate a resolution, we are sharing a legal analysis of the key regulatory actions (in Word format, attached) which forms the basis for our position that biogenic C02 has never properly been determined to be a pollutant subject to regulation for purposes of the Clean Air Act.
I am also sharing the Biogenic CO2 Coalition's comments on the Significance Rule proposal from the prior administration, as it contains a comprehensive narrative discussion of the coalition's legal and policy positions.
We look forward to having another "work session" to discuss this issue once you have a chance to study the issues in greater depth. Would you be available sometime the week of November 5?
Regards,

Max,
Apologies for the delayed response. Is there a day during the week of October 23-27 that works best for you? Fridays are usually best for us.
Thanks,

Justin and Erik, following on a telecon with Mandy, I'd like to offer to sit down with you and walk through our legal analysis of the biogenic C02 policy, which led us to the conclusion that re-interpreting the endangerment finding was the most sensible solution to this issue which has the ag community inflamed.
Could we convene a small working group (no more than 3-4) for an in-person sit down?
