Thanks so much. We're inclined to submit a short request (two pages) with everything that would be needed to be included in a Determination. We'd also plan to attach a more detailed justification for the administrative record. Does that strike you as an approach that the EPA would welcome and find helpful?

Abbie:
Our mutual friend Ryan Jackson said that you're helping manage the various NESHAP reconsiderations, including the copper smelting NESHAP (Subpart QQQ). Ryan and I worked together in Trump 45 when I was the OECA DAA.
On behalf of our client Freeport McMoRan, I'm writing to set up a brief call with you to discuss the process by which Freeport could best support the EPA's efforts to reconsider the rule and obtain a Presidential exemption under Section 112(i).
We're aware that information supporting a Presidential exemption is due March 31, so we'd like to chat with you as far in advance of that date as is convenient for you.
I'd be joined on the call by Todd Weaver from Freeport.
Warm regards, Patrick
