Honorable Robert C. Byrd

Washington, DC 20510-6025
Dear Senator Byrd:
Thank you for your letter of December 15, 1995. We regret the delay in responding to your request. The lack of congressional funding of EPA and the subsequent shutdown of the Agency prevented an earlier reply.
At the present time, the OSi Specialties proposal is in the technical reivew process. Project XL proposals are reviewed by EPA and our partners in the state and tribal environmental agencies in an open atmosphere according to a predefined set of criteria. We are sending you a copy of the Project XL Information Package which contains information about the program, including the selection criteria and process.
I also want to invite you to help us to inform other companies and regulated entities about the potential to participate in Project XL. EPA views XL as an exciting opoprtunity for regulated entities to develop the building blocks of a new, performance-based approach to environmental protection. Broader participation will enhance our efforts to reinvent environmental regulation.
Once again, thank you for your continued interest in and support of Project XL.
Sincerely,
David Gardiner
Assistant Administrator
