We will not be able to provide someone for a recorded interview, however, we are happy to put you on the phone with our Deputy Assistant Administrator for the Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention Nancy Beck to walk you through the issue. Please let me know your thoughts. "The press reports on this issue are inaccurate. Without the proposed Significant New Use Rule (SNUR) EPA would not have a regulatory basis to restrict manufacturing and processing for the new asbestos uses covered by the rule. The EPA action would prohibit companies from manufacturing, importing, or processing for these new uses of asbestos unless they receive approval from EPA." - EPA spokesman James Hewitt Best, James From: Alford, Alicia [mailto:AgfordAfgjcbsnews.com1 Sent: Wednesday, August 8, 2018 11:08 AM To: Abboud, Michael <abboud.michael@epa.gov> Cc: Press <Fress@epa.gov> Subject: RE: *Urgent* CBS Evening News request - SNUR Is someone available to do an on camera interview?

I'm looking for the statement you may have already issued reacting to groups, including the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization and the Environmental Working Group, criticisms of the EPS's proposed rule. And any reaction to Chelsea Clinton's tweet yesterday saying, "Asbestos was one of the first carcinogens regulated under the Clean Air Act in 1973 (Nixon was president) and then was largely banned in 1989 (George HW Bush was president). No amount of asbestos is safe. Yet, the Trump administration is https://twitter.com/hashtag/MAGA?src~hash or making asbestos great again." Thank you.
