I completely understand and I'm sorry, the schedule is just very fluid. Last minute travel always throws a wrench into things but it is very often out of our control. We are interested in pursuing this effort and I would be happy to work on a time for a conference call.
As it stands right now we are fairly flexible on the morning of June 23rdto do a conference call. I will hold 9AM-10:30AM. Please let me know as soon as you can if that time will work.
Thank you!

Well. The meeting involved the travel of a half-dozen commissioners from across the U.S., so I am not sure how to coordinate a new set of dates and times.
If the EPA does want to pursue this effort, perhaps we could begin with a conference call at your
17cv01906 Sierra Club v. EPA
ED 001523B 00006420-00001
convenience. To be perfectly candid, I had commissioners fly to Dallas in April for a face-toface that didn't happen. And I am now faced with telling them this meeting isn't going to happen either - that has a significant impact on relationships.
So, let's think about two things: One, would the EPA like to pursue this effort? And if so, can you provide a couple date/time options for a conference call with constructive PUC commissioners?
Thanks for your thoughtful consideration. I will await your response.

Wow. That's really unfortunate - 1just told six PUC commissioners from across the U.S. yesterday that we were confirmed.
Is there no way to meet on the 16th, as planned?

Ken,
Great talking to you today. Looks like we are all on the same page.
Here's the proposed agenda for the first meeting.
17cv01906 Sierra Club v. EPA
ED 001523B 00006420-00005
We are all available in the second half of June.
As far as agenda items for the first call, we identified several points to consider.
1, The economic impact of the regulation proposed under the Obama administration and what the changes would be under the new version of the regulations current being proposed by EPA, 2, Discuss wavs to increase the involvement of state commissions and state environmental and energy offices in the rule making process and ensure that it happens early in process. 3, What does the EPA Administrator wish to accomplish by establishing this group? What would be process for adding new topics as issues arise? 4, What does the framework look like going forward? 5, What are the EPA's current thinking or plans for dealing with Coal Ash?
