Cortney - 

The attached file appears to be corrupted somehow - can you please resend? When I try to open 

it, it says it's an "unsupported format" in Adobe? Sorry for the troubles, but I can't open it and thus 

can't review its content.

Attached is the Waves spreadsheet. There will be four of us: Chet Thompson, Joe Cavvichi, Mike 

Catanzaro, and myself. 

 

I have also attached a white paper which outlines the basic tenets of our intended conversation. 

 Please forward to those attending the meeting. Do you have a list of attendees from OMB that we 

will be meeting with?

Yes. We will take it. The Friday before Memorial Day weekend should ensure a short/small 

meeting. I will get back with you next week with a list of attendees on my end along with meeting 

materials.

Mabel, 

I would like to request a meeting with OMB regarding the proposed 111(d) regulation from EPA. 

 The purpose is to discuss the potential disparate impacts on certain rural cooperatives, municipal 

utilities, and merchant generators. Attending the meeting would be representatives of these 

groups (particular companies are yet to be determined). 

 

We would like to do this meeting the week of May 12 or the week of May 19. 

 

Once you are able to confirm a date, I will quickly confirm who can attend at that time - but it would 

be at most 5-6 people. 

 

Please let me know if there is any other logistical information you need. Thank you for your 

assistance.
