To: From: Sent: Subject: Dravis, Samantha[dravis.samantha@epa.gov] David Crane Thur 6/1/2017 7:01:12 PM June 7-8 Meeting Request for Domestic Energy Producers Alliance Samantha: I hope that you're having a good day. Thanks again for meeting with Pete Regan (from Domestic Energy Producers Alliance) and myself back in January. Hopefully you have since gotten some additional help since then. A small group of Domestic Energy Producers Alliance guys are coming in town next week with a focus on regulatory issues. Roger Kelly from Continental (Harold Hamm's company) will be heading up the issue discussion. Pete Regan and Blu Hulsey (Continental) will be here as well on the 7th. I am hoping you might have some time on your schedule on the 7th or morning of the 8th for a regulatory reform meeting. Right now we have an 11am at Treasury and 5pm at Interior on the 7th but are otherwise flexible. Roger and I could also be available for a meeting on the morning of the 8th as well. Any chance you could work us in? Following is little background on each subject we are hoping to discuss. Thanks Samantha and please let me know if I can provide any additional information or if I can be of help in any way. (I also have a message into Ryan but assume he would send me your way so thought Id jump ahead.) David David Crane 1. Oil and Gas Effluent Limitation Guidelines and Standards The final rule entitled "Effluent Limitations Guidelines and Standards for the Oil and Gas Extraction Point Source Category" published in the Federal Register on June 28, 2016 largely ignored input from industry and should be rescinded. A categorical prohibition on the practices of the unconventional oil and gas industry limits innovation and imposes unnecessary restrictions to the industry. 2. Quad Oa EPA Methane Rule. This rule follows the original Quad O rule passed in the 2012-2013 timeframe and is primarily directed at methane as a green house gas/poilutant. Passed under the NSPS (New Source Performance Standard) review authority of the Clean Air Act. 17cv1906 Sierra Club v. EPA - 6/22 Production ED 001523 00007661-00001 3. Social Cost of Carbon (including Methane) The March 28th Executive Order on "Promoting Energy Independence and Economic Growth " directed agencies against consideration of climate change or green house gases in regulatory development or other energy considerations. This directive affects the Quad Oa rule among others. 4. RCRA Waste Exemption The EPA has committed (2016 Obama EPA)to revisiting this matter and the environs surely expect some serious changes. This issue was handled in the states through state review. Need to see where they are, if anywhere, on this. Need to make sure staff isn't cooking something up.
