Is this accurate? As you likely know, Texas has worked very closely with the EPA during the ongoing storm and aftermath. The help of the EPA has been instrumental to many of our member companies and their operations. The timing of our event and the attendance of the Administrator would be a perfect time to express our appreciation. As a reminder, we do still have some availability on our agenda during our dinner the evening of Thursday, October 19th but Friday, October 20th would be ideal.

Let us know if we need to work on anything to make this possible. Thank you!

I noted on the event form that a significant portion of TXOGA's Board will be attending this event and I have attached our current Board roster. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions and thank you for your consideration.

EPA ED_001523B_00000124-00004 I am forwarding the form to Neal Carlton, TXOGA's Director of Membership, and have cc'd Mari Ruckel, our VP for Government Affairs, and Kristen Fuchs. Neal will ensure the form is completed and returned today. We previously sent a letter with all the details and I suggest Neal attach with this document of yours. TXOGA is the state's oldest and largest trade association representing every facet of oil and gas including upstream, midstream and downstream. All sectors would benefit greatly from Administrator Pruitt being able to attend and are hopeful it aligns with his schedule. Our nation's largest operators will be in attendance along with smaller regional and Texas companies. It is really a good mix and is an important gathering worthy of the Administrator's time. We are needing to finalize our agenda for printing purposes. Do you think it possible we could get a decision this week? This is the largest of our annual events and really the best one to attend. Should the Administrator need a different venue, we can certainly arrange one to fit his schedule and build attendance associated with it but this one is the most prominent. Thanks for your consideration. Todd Staples President Texas Oil & Gas Association 17cv01906 Sierra Club v.
