Smith <dbsmith@spp.org> Subject: RE: Invitation to Address ISO/RTO Annual Joint Board Conference Just wanted to follow up on my email below in hopes that we can receive confirmation soon regarding whether Administrator Pruitt can accept our invitation to speak, at the IRC annual joint board conference. We are finalizing the agenda, program and brochure for the event and would like very much to include Administrator Pruitt in the materials. As I mentioned below, the CEO's and executives, along with the board members, for each of the ISO/RTO's in North America will be attending. Collectively, we manage the electric grid and operate the wholesale electric markets for two-thirds of the U.S. 17cv1906 Sierra Club v.

EPA ED_001523B_00007096-00002 Sydney, The ISO/RTO Council (IRC), which collectively manages the electric grid and wholesale electric markets for two-thirds of the U.S., is having its annual joint board conference meeting in Washington, DC May 25. The meeting will be attended by the CEOs, executives and board members for all nine ISO/RTOs in North America. Since Nick Brown, SPP's President and CEO, is chairing the IRC this year, we are responsible for planning the program. Nick recently hosted a call with all the other ISO/RTO CEOs and they discussed the agenda for the upcoming conference. They were in agreement that they would like to have Administrator Pruitt address the group and asked me to extend this invitation to him. We have the FERC Commissioners confirmed and hope to have Secretary Perry address the group as well. We were hoping Administrator Pruitt would agree to address the group sometime between 12 pm and 3:30 pm on May 25. The event will be held at The Willard InterContinental Hotel, 1401 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC. If I can provide you with additional information, please let me know. Thanks for your consideration. Warmest Regards, Mike Ross Member U.S. Congress (2001-2013) Senior Vice President Government Affairs and Public Relations 17cv1906 Sierra Club v.
