HI Sydney,
That is great news. I will work with the egg producers and get back to you with day/time windows that might work - they will want to be very flexible and make this work for the Administrator's schedule.
I will get back to you later today or tomorrow with the filled-out form.
Best!

Thanks so much for your reply Sydney. We certainly understand. As an alternative, would it be possible for 3 to 5 grower leaders in at some point to meet the Administrator over that period? These would be the people responsible for some of the largest egg producing operations in the country with multiple farm sites and more than 50 million laying hens under production.
Best!

Good afternoon Mr. Herbert,
Thank you for reaching out to me and thank you for the invitation for Administrator Pruitt to keynote! Unfortunately, we are unable to participate this time due to conflicts on the schedule those days. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us in the future though! Hopeful you have a great rest of your week.
Best, Sydney

Dear Ms. Hupp,
I hope you are well and settling in nicely at EPA.
17cv1906 Sierra Club v. EPA
ED_001523B_00003823-00011
Please see attached a letter inviting the Administrator to offer a keynote address to the nation's egg producers at a meeting being held by United Egg Producers (UEP) here in Washington, D.C. on May 17, 18 or 19, 2017. Details are included in the letter.
UEP's farmer members raise hens that produce about 95% of the nation's eggs, and most of that egg production will be accounted for by the 150 or so egg producers in the audience listening to Administrator Pruitt's address should he decide to do this. These producers and UEP have been at the forefront of several US EPA rulemakings and policies that are central to how farmers operate today; Clean Water Act matters involving the Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFO) rule, WOTUS rule and the Chesapeake Bay TMDL as well as Clean Air Act and CERCLA/EPRCA matters as they relate to ammonia and other air emissions. These are tremendously important issues that relate directly to how egg producers can continue to proudly meet their environmental responsibilities and the growing demand for eggs, and in general make their contribution to the nation's safe, wholesome and abundant food supply.
These farmers would appreciate hearing about Administrator Pruitt's plans for US EPA's environmental programs so they can better understand how they could contribute to the success of his efforts and what these plans might mean for their farms and businesses.
Please let me know if you have any questions or if the Administrator can accept this invitation. Thank you in advance for your consideration of this request.
Best!
