SUBJECT:	EPA/RAA Meeting 

FROM:	Richard Naylor 

Drinking Water Protection Branch

TO:	Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OW–2005–0025 

At the request of Mr. Liam Connolly, Regional Airline Association (RAA),
a meeting was arranged by Rick Naylor, Drinking Water Protection Branch,
Office of Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water (OGWDW),
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).  It was held on December 4, 2008
at EPA headquarters.  Meeting attendees included Rick Naylor and Allison
Watanabe from EPA, Dean Davidson, Food and Drug Administration and Liam
Connolly, RAA.  Prior to the meeting and again at the beginning of the
meeting, Rick Naylor informed Mr. Connolly that EPA could not discuss
the Final ADWR because the public comment period had closed and the
Agency’s version of the rule was not final.  

The purpose of the meeting was for Mr. Connolly to introduce himself to
EPA staff since he will now be the RAA’s environmental liaison and now
will be working with EPA in place of David Lotterer.  Mr. Connolly used
the time primarily to explain the operational aspects of the regional
airline industry.  He distributed copies of the Regional Airline
Association 2008 Annual Report.  Mr. Connolly offered his assistance and
that of the RAA environmental committee if EPA has any questions about
the operation of regional jets.
