Re: Request for Meeting
Dear Acting Administrator Wheeler,
On behalf of the Association of Global Automakers, Inc. and our member companies, I am writing to request a meeting with you, preferably the week of October 22, to discussion the Safe, Affordable, Fuel-Efficient Vehicle Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.
Global Automakers represents the U.S. operations of international automobile manufacturers, suppliers, technology companies, and other automotive related trade associations. Our members account for 47 percent of retail vehicle sales and 40 percent of vehicle production in the United States.
Given the numerous policy issues facing the industry right now--such as fuel economy and greenhouse gas emissions, vehicle electrification, connected automation, and U.S. trade policy--the outcome of policy discussions at the Environmental Protection Agency will directly impact our members companies. Therefore, I would appreciate an opportunity to meet with you to discuss the environmental challenges and opportunities confronting the auto industry and how the industry would benefit from a smart, "common sense" approach to fuel economy and emissions policy that continues to improve efficiency and that maintains a national program with California. This would also be an opportunity to share with you the important contributions international automakers provide to the U.S. economy.
I hope that you will be able to meet and look forward to hearing from you soon.
Please do not hesitate to contact me at (202) 650-5566 or jbozzella@globalautomakers.org should you have any questions. For additional questions regarding scheduling, please contact my Executive Administrator, Michelle Hernandez, at (202) 650-5545 or mhernandez@globalautomakers.org.
Sincerely,
John T. Bozzella President & CEO
