We are very happy with the overall direction of EPA and very impressed with your understanding of our issues and the steps you have already taken to help resolve our concerns. Our main concern was explaining to you how unique the specialty chemical industry is and precisely why we need a seat at the table. We are a very excited to participate in groups like the Sector Strategy group and be partners with EPA. We were very pleased to hear about the plans to eliminate the TSCA Pre-Manufacture Notices by the end of July. Also, the current progress on the RMP rule, and the additional scrutiny you suggested is very encouraging. Again, thank you for a terrific meeting. I'm personally very much looking forward to working with EPA in this new environment. Regards, Robby Robert F.
