Dear Administrator Pruitt:
.
\
On behalf of The Chemours Company ("Chemours"), please accept our congratulations and best wishes for success in your new role as Administrator of the U.S. EPA.
Headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware, Chemours is global leader in titanium technologies,
fluoroproducts and chemical solutions, providing our customers with solutions in a wide range of
industries with market-defining products, application expertise and chemistry-based innovations.
Our ingredients are found in plastics and coatings, refrigeration and air conditioning, mining and
oil refining operations and general industrial manufacturing. Chemours flagship products
include prominent brands such as TeflonTM, Ti-PureTM, KrytoxTM, VitonTM, OpteonTM, FreonTM
and NafionTM. We have approximately 7,000 employees, (some 5,000 of whom are located in
the United States) and 26 manufacturing sites serving approximately 4,000 customers in North
America, Latin America, Asia-Pacific and Europe.

As a leading U.S.-based chemical company, Chemours is extremely interested in the new leadership that you will bring to EPA, in terms of both high-level policies and day-to-day ... management of the agency. Because of this interest, we would appreciate the opportunity for our President and CEO, Mark Vergnano, to meet with you in your offices in Washington, D.C.
Mr. Vergnano is particularly interested in learning more about your views on how EPA can deliver on its core mission of protecting human health and the environment and, at the same time, promote U.S. investment and job creation via responsible environmental policies and regulations. We expect there is great alignment between you and Mr. Vergnano on this subject.

Mr. Vergnano also would like to share what Chemours is doing to put American innovation to
work to create global, market-leading product opportunities, which support new U.S. ........
manufacturing investments and jobs. And since a sizeable portion of this new U.S. investment is
premised upon previous EPA policy decisions, Mr Vergnano would like to discuss how policy
consistency- and thereby U.S. leadership in global markets - can be maintained under your
tenureatEPA.
...
We recognize both your and Mr. Vergnano's schedules are tight; nevertheless, we would like to suggest a date in the near term (May 15th) when we know Mark can make it to D.C. to meet with you. We look forward to hearing back from you if this date will work on your calendar.
More important, we look forward to a productive exchange of ideas and perspectives between
you and Mr. Vergnano.
