Let me check with staff to see if we have anything underway with the chemistry and then I will get back to you. For the HAP activities I will check with the air office. Thanks! Nancy Nancy B.

My friend and former colleague Charles Munoz suggested I reach out to you. We are doing some research on the current EPA rule-making process regarding the cleaning chemical n propyl bromide (nPB). Specifically, there are two potential EPA actions that we are trying to learn more about. First, would be any potential EPA rule under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), as amended in 2016, determining potential usage of nPB and/or the fact that nPB was on the EPA's November 29, 2016, list of High Priority Chemicals for risk evaluation purposes. Second, would be any potential rule-making naming nPB as a Hazardous Air Pollutant (HAP), given that on March 6, 2017, EPA publicly announced it had received a petition requesting that this action be taken. Sierra Club v. EPA 18cv3472 NDCA Tier 12 ED 002061 00050820-00001 Our questions surround these processes and the January 20, 2017, Memorandum from White House Chief of Staff Reince Preibus directing that all federal departments and agencies immediately freeze most pending rules and regulations m order to allow the Trump Administration sufficient time to review all such proposed rules and regulations prior to public release and implementation. What is the current status of the processes for either or both of these potential rule-making processes and nPB vis--vis the January' 20thMemorandum? We would welcome as much information as possible about how the EPA plans on moving ahead with these matters. Could we stop by and have a brief meeting and discussion with you on these questions? Thank you very much for your attention to these matters. Ed Brookover, Partner Avenue Strategies 1717 Pennsylvania NW Suite 1025 Washington, DC 20006 202/841-7921 Sierra Club v.
