Dear Dr. Beck:
I write to invite you to provide a briefing as part of IWPA's upcoming Board and Member Meeting on the EPA's Formaldehyde Emission Standards for Composite Wood Products regulation. IWPA members would greatly appreciate the opportunity to learn more about implementation of the regulation and discuss changes we have put forward that are in keeping with President Trump's efforts to reduce the regulatory burden on U.S. manufacturers and other businesses that rely on imported wood products to support American jobs.
We would propose that the issue briefing be held Tuesday, September 12, from 10:15 to 11:15 am, with the first 20 minutes of that time dedicated to the formaldehyde regulation and the remaining 40 minutes dedicated to invited government speakers on other topics of importance to our industry. Our Board and Member Meeting will be taking place at the Hilton Alexandria Old Town at 1767 King Street, Alexandria, Virginia, adjacent to the King Street Metro Station. We would certainly be flexible on timing to accommodate your busy schedule.
Thank you for your thoughtful consideration, and I am hopeful that you will be able to participate. Our
Senior Manager of Government and Public Affairs, Joe O'Donnell, stands ready to coordinate with you and
your staff. He can be reached by e-mail at Joe@iwpawood.org or by phone at
Ex. 6
Sincerely,
Executive Director International Wood Products Association
