The registration period for this meeting has ended.



Federal agencies have been busy issuing proposed and final rules, while states either follow suit or make new ones in their stead. This webinar will dive into the regulatory rulemaking process and explain how our industry can make its voice heard. Our webinar panelist, Michael Schon, specializes in environmental regulatory solutions and litigation, and works regularly with administrative agencies to find lasting solutions to regulatory problems. Please join us to learn how he and AFPM engages with administrative agencies to advocate for regulations that reflect operational reality and meet government objectives.
