Ryan and Hayley,
Please find attached a request for Honeywell's CEO Darius Adamczyk, to meet with Administrator Pruitt. He is available to travel to DC for a meeting on October 16th. Please let us know his availability as we can look for alternate dates if that date does not work. We are hoping to get his guidance/insights on strategy and possible next steps in the discussion around the SNAP rule.
We would also love to host him at either our LA or OK facilities when he is available.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Best, Amy

The Honorable Scott Pruitt Administrator United States Environmental Protection Agency 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., N.W. Washington, D.C. 20460
Dear Administrator Pruitt:
On behalf of Honeywell Int., we would like to request a meeting for Honeywell's CEO Darius Adamczyk to discuss recent developments around EPA rules which critically impact our Fluorine Products hydrofluoro olefins (HFO) business. As you know, Honeywell has significant concerns around the August D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals' ruling regarding the EPA's Significant New Alternatives Program (SNAP). We hope to hear your thoughts on potential steps the EPA can take to support U.S. industry and innovation and reduce business uncertainty.
Supported by smart, pro-business SNAP policy, American companies have invested well over $1B to invent, commercialize and build U.S. manufacturing facilities to produce alternative solutions for outdated hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) called hydrofluoro-olefms (HFOs). American industry relies upon many parameters to be competitive on a global level. In this case, U.S. policy and regulatory frameworks were put in place that provided a standard that companies relied upon to make investments in R&D, manufacturing, and commercialization of these next-generation technologies. Honeywell - and many other American companies, particularly in the heating and cooling industry - have made significant investments based on that standard. To pull that back now unfairly damages U.S. industry, and threatens U.S. leadership on a global level. Industry works within a framework, whether regulatory or through other mechanisms, and the SNAP program is fiscally responsible and economically sound policy.
We would like to work with the EPA on additional opportunities to continue to support a transition away from HFCs to preserve U.S. industrial leadership in meeting rising global demand for these technologies.
We would appreciate the opportunity for Darius Adamczyk to meet with you in your office in Washington, D.C. on October 16 to discuss this issue and work together to find a path forward to support U.S. manufacturing and innovation. We look forward to providing you information about Honeywell and the critical role that EPA plays in our business.
Sincerely,
Amy Chiang Vice President, Honeywell Int.
