Best, Amy Chiang 202-256 -9507 17cv1906 Sierra Club v. EPA ED_001523_00000578-00001 August 10, 2017 The Honorable Scott Pruitt Administrator United States Environmental Protection Agency 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20460 Re: Meeting request; Mexichem Fluor v. EPA Dear Administrator Pruitt: We are writing to request meetings to discuss the implications of the decision reached by the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in Mexichem Fluor Inc. v. Environmental Protection Agency on August 8. We believe that the Court wrongly vacated EPA's rule establishing restrictions on the use of hydrofluorocarbons (MFCs) through the Significant New Alternatives Program (SNAP), and hope to discuss potential EPA responses to support U.S. industry and innovation and reduce industry uncertainty. As you know, Honeywell and Chemours intervened in this case because we believe that the argument presented by the petitioners would have a significant negative economic impact on the global hydrofluoro olefins (HFO) business. U.S. companies have invested well over $1 billion in the development and manufacture of HFOs to meet U.S. and global demand. However, foreign competitors Mexichem Fluor and Arkema, who have not invested in the R&D to create these alternatives and who do not manufacture these alternatives, used the U.S. courts to hurt American companies. At stake are thousands of U.S.-based jobs supporting local economies, including manufacturing plants in Louisiana and Texas, and R&D sites in New York and Delaware. The impacted rules are essential to economic growth and job creation in the U.S., and to enable American competitiveness in this industry. The decisions made by the EPA in this area have global implications as other countries will follow the U.S. lead. HFOs and products utilizing them such as air conditioning and refrigeration equipment, foam insulation, aerosols, and solvents are exported from the U.S. to meet country commitments in phasing out less environmentally sustainable chemicals. If this ruling stands, it will likely create a chilling effect on American businesses which won't risk making the necessary investments in both workers and technology. American companies lead the world in innovation and this ruling, instigated by two foreign competitors, undermines that fundamental tenet. Darius Adamczyk, Honeywell's President and CEO is available to meet at your offices on August 16. Mark Vergnano, Chemours' President and CEO is available August 25 or 28. We appreciate your interest in this issue, and we look forward to working with you. Sincerely, Darius Adamczyk President and Chief Executive Officer Honeywell 115 Tabor Road Morris Plains, NJ 07950 973-455-5002 Darius.Admaczyk@Honeywell.com Hon^well THE POWER OF Honeywel!
