Nichole and Josh — attached is a letter from 178 bipartisan Members of the House asking `for a comment period 

of at least 120 days on the forthcoming new source performance standards for existing coal-based power 

plants.' My boss, Mr. Johnson (OH), Mr. Thompson (MS), Mr. Smith, and Mr. Matheson were the 4 co-leads 

on the letter. I've copied the full list of names below since many signatures are hard to read. Please let us know 

if you have any questions and have a great holiday weekend.

The Honorable Gina McCarthy 

Administrator 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 

1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW 

Washington, D.C. 20460 

We are writing to request that the Environmental Protection Ageiicy provide a sufficiently long 

comnient period on its upcoming regulation of greenhouse gases fiom existing power plants. The 

Agency should provide at least a 120 day comtnent period, given the significant impact this rule 

could have on our nation's electricity providers and consumers, on jobs in communities that have 

existing coal-based power plants, and on the economy as a whole. 

The upcoming proposal will necessarily be more complex for the industry to deal with than the 

proposal for new plants, and stakeholders will need time to analyze the rule and determine its 

impact on individual power plants and on the electric system as a whole. This analysis will be 

no small undertaking, especially since this will be the first ever regulation of greenhouse gases 

from existing power plaints. Additionally, since the EPA extended the origina160 day comment 

period for the new plant proposal, it makes setlse to provide at least the same timeline for the 

existing plant rule.

.^ 

Affordable and reliable electricity is essential to the quality of life to our constituents. While we 

can a]1 agree that clean air is impoi-tant, EPA has an obligation to understand the impacts that 

regulations have on all segmetits of society. As one step toward fulfilling this obligation, lvvo 

urge you to provide for a comment period of at least 120 days on the-forthcoming new source 

performance standards for existing coal-based power plants. 

Thank you for your consideratiori of this request. 

Sincerely,

^
