3M EPA reg reform proposals overview 6-20-17.pdf
Administrator Pruitt:
Thank you for the opportunity last week to discuss 3M's recommendations to support US EPA's regulatory reform efforts.
Attached is a 1-page summary outlining:
Three opportunities for immediate policy and resource prioritization; and Four recommendations for significant regulatory reform and streamlining.
As discussed, our recommendations reflect 3M's dual commitment to environmental performance and growth. Our recommendations are intended to preserve and enhance environmental performance - while also meaningfully improving the US regulatory climate in support of US manufacturing agility and competitiveness. We can and must do both.
Please note that Paul Narog and John Metzger of my staff (cc'd here) are well versed on these topics and stand ready to provide further clarification and support. John has spoken with Samantha on the topic, and Paul and John both recently met with Brittany as well as EPA staff at RTP.
Thank you again - to you and your staff - for your time and consideration.
Best regards,
17cv1906 Sierra Club v. EPA
