ttorney General Wayne Stenehjem in response to today’s Supreme Court decisions on vaccine
mandates I am pleased that the Supreme Court, by a 6-3 vote, held that the federal Occupat
ional Safety & Health Administration lacked constitutional authority under its “workplace
safety” regulations to impose a vaccine mandate that would have affected more than 80 mill
ion employees across the country. As the Supreme Court majority opinion stated, “Although
Congress has indisputably given OSHA the power to regulate occupational dangers, it has no
t given that agency the power to regulate public health more broadly.” I can appreciate th
e distinction the Supreme Court made between the OSHA mandate for workers generally and th
e CMS mandates for medical workers, but I continue to have serious concerns about the effe
ct the ruling will have on retaining health care workers, many of whom may elect to simply
quit rather than get the vaccine, seriously exacerbating staffing issues, especially in o
ur rural medical facilities. As I have emphasized from the beginning, the lawsuits were no
t about whether people should get vaccinated, they were about opposing federal overreach.
Two other lawsuits continue, one against the federal mandate for federal contractors, and
the other for employees, volunteers, and children with Head Start programs. # # #

Dear Wayne,
Greetings Wayne,
Wednesday night Chairman Schafer and I were in Minot to complete our fourth-regional "Coffee with the
Chairman" initiative. There were approximately 45 people who attended this informal q/a gathering from the
northwest region.
After the meeting, Amber Vibeto (district 3 chair) discussed the topic of masking, covid vax etc. with me.
Amber also serves as president of the ND Conservative Advocates group. Amber asked me if I would share the
information she provided (below) with you. My understanding is she is inquiring if you have considered an
advisory opinion on this topic. I understand if you'd rather not get into this, but I thought I would at least pass it
along.
Thank you.

Hi Corby,
Thank you, again, for making the trip to Minot with Perrie last night. I think it was a great opportunity for
communication and bridge-building. Per our conversation last night, we would love to see Attorney General
Stenjehem come out with an advisory opinion and position statement specific to vaccine mandates. Many North
Dakotans are facing the impossible decision to keep their job or to make a medical decision they don't want to
make, and I think a strong, clarifying statement from our Attorney General would be very helpful. I am
including a link to TX Attorney General Paxton's statement on vaccine mandates as a reference and example.

NDGOP Reports "Productive Discussions" from December State Committee Meeting

Pans Few "Protestors" Who "Disenfranchised" Districts
BISMARCK- Today, Perrie Schafer, Chairman of the North Dakota Republican Party ("NDGOP") released
the following statement in response to the conclusion of its December State Committee Meeting:
"I want to thank the hardworking members of the NDGOP State Committee who took the time before the
holidays to form an easy quorum and vote to continue the past tradition of holding a Republican endorsing
convention in the spring; add a few additional requirements for candidates seeking the NDGOP's endorsement at
its convention, and continue to consider party resolutions through a modified process," said Schafer.
He continued, "We were disappointed that a very small minority of protestors decided to leave and
disenfranchise the Republicans in those districts. We will, of course, continue our efforts to reach out to them
and work through differences in the spirit of unity that we are called to as Republicans here in North Dakota."

4/29/24, 12:26 PM Attorney General, Wayne Stenehjem Announcement
I ran for public office because of my love for North Dakota. And my love of our
state has only grown during that time.
When you walk into the front of my office in the Capitol you will see a composite
photograph of all the people who have served North Dakota as Attorney
General since statehood. After my photo there are seven blank spaces. Those
spots are reserved for the people who will come after me. I know that whoever
is fortunate enough to have his or her photo included after mine will inherit a
talented, dedicated group of employees who come to work every day with the
goal of keeping North Dakota the very best place.
My current term runs through the end of 2022, and we still have lots of time to
continue the important work we have in the year ahead.
I wish you all the best of the Christmas Season, and look forward to continuing
our important work in 2022!
Wayne Stenehjem
North Dakota Attorney General

Subject: RE: Let's be united
This e-mail and my response invited a conversation that still needs to take place.
The last few election cycles have demonstrated that our country is in an ideological war. The two coasts
represent different values than middle America.
Rather than working together with our elected officials to defend those middle America values, we are under
attack. Why would that be?
One of the attachments to this e-mail offers several points for further conversation that might provide insight. I
recognize and respect that there may be a diversity of opinions on these points.
The other attachment is a copy and paste of all the nay votes on agency budgets taken from the daily journals.
The final page of that attachment lists all who voted nay on more than 10 of the 49 budgets. This is not a few
bills cherry picked to advance an agenda. These are all the budget bills. Some people on this list have different
reasons for voting nay than others. Some are very engaged in the budget conversations. Others vote no without
conversation.
Abdication of the responsibility we have to fund state government may be a Libertarian position, but is certainly
not a conservative position.
I have hesitated to send this e-mail for several months because of the respect that I have for the Institution you
and I have the privilege to serve, the people with whom we serve, and the Republic we love. Ultimately, we
have a responsibility to defend all three. It is in that spirit that I offer these comments.
Let' talk.

Subject: RE: Let's be united
Rick:
Thank you for this conciliatory e-mail. I have to say that I have no problem with your Bastiats holding a
different perspective than the rest of us. I have a serious problem with you advancing your agenda at everyone
else's expense.
I am a Republican and I am a conservative. I know what that means. Being conservative is not about voting no.
Being conservative is about voting yes on the right priorities. Voting no on all the budget bills might be fiscally
conservative, but only in one sense. It is a complete abdication of the responsibility that we have to fund
government. Without even a conversation on the budget, you make yourselves irrelevant to the budget process.
Calling yourselves conservative and everyone else a RINO, only adds to the cynicism that exists against the
Legislature.
I have struggled with how to initiate a conversation on these matters. I would like to take your e-mail as an
invitation to a smaller discussion. I would be happy to visit with you and others in your caucus of your
choosing. The conversation should include leadership in both chambers and others of their choosing.
I think I would bring perspective that you may not have considered previously. I considered a public discussion,
but that would result in no winners. Someone close to me said, "Dad, you agree with them 90% of the time."
That is true. We should be able to work around the other 10%.
There is one point that needs to be a part of this larger discussion. The Senate Majority Leader has had his
reputation dragged through the mud. Eight Republicans put their name on the bill that came later to be known as
a Red Flag bill. On the surface it appeared to address a serious issue. There was due process in the bill. It was
vulnerable only in the sense that it was subject to abuse, just as domestic violence orders are subject to abuse.
You and your caucus never offered any other solutions and, in fact, opposed all the Behavioral Health initiatives
passed in the session.
It seems to me that your caucus has tried to use the Red Flag bill to lead the public to believe that the Second
Amendment is under threat by this Legislative body and that your caucus stands in the way of any compromise
of it. Reconciliation of your caucus with other Republicans demands that you reconsider that position.
The Senate Majority leader is the hardest working and largest contributing member to the Legislative process.
Other issues might be best addressed in a smaller discussion.
Thanks again for the conciliatory e-mail. Please accept my response in the same spirit.

Subject: Let's be united
Dear fellow Republicans,
As we look to the upcoming session, I wanted to relay a few thoughts I have.
I have previously written social media posts about the so-called division in our party. My analogy has been that
we are like a family. There will always be family squabbling. There may be a crazy uncle, a weird cousin, and a
stubborn grandma, but they are still family.
We all want to do our job as legislators the best we can. For me, the best thing for both our state, and for our
party has been to fight fervently for less spending, less taxing, and less regulation. I'm fully aware that in that
fight, I have rubbed some of you the wrong way, and of course, that is true conversely as well. Nevertheless, I
have no regrets, and will continue to fight for what I think is best.
Here's the rub; when times are good, and there aren't external threats to us, it's ok to focus on intra-caucus
conflicts (family squabbling) to do what we think is best. In fact, it's probably necessary to chum out the best
product. But when times are less good, or if there are external threats, we must do what families and
communities do: we must unite to fend off a common threat.
I believe we face a few common threats.
One is our counterpart, the Democrat party, seems to be complicit with a far-left movement that is pushing
untenable policies. They aim to transform or crush American history, American morale, and American culture
and society. Although it seems far away from North Dakota, I believe we will need to be united to ensure they
do not succeed in even getting a foot in the door.
lfBiden wins, we will need to be united against his (their) inevitable hits on the economy.
If Trump wins (which I believe he will), there will likely be chaos. We will need to be united to deal with such
chaos without succumbing to actions which restrict liberty.
Another threat is from our executive branch (I know I may lose a few of you here). We have been accustomed to
spending $10,000-$30,000 for a legislative campaign (with a few $100,000+ outliers). GovernorBurgum has
come in with his millions to change the course of Republican primaries to fit his vision. In my opinion this is a
gross overstep. I believe what he did in getting rid of long-time legislator and Appropriations Chairman Rep.
Delzer is unforgiveable.
He really does believe he is the CEO of ND, and we are low-level management that must to do what he wants. I
won't belabor the point, but we need to be united against GovernorBurgum in rolling over us, for whatever is on
his pet project list.
I look forward to working WITH each of you this upcoming session.
Have a great fall, and let's hope society doesn't collapse in November.
-Rick Becker

10 am: Boechler, P.C. v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, No.20-1472: Whether the 30-day

commissioner of internal revenue in 26 U.S.C. §6330(!1).(1) is a jurisdictional requirement or a

Monday,Jan.17: Federal Holiday
Tuesday,Jan.18
10 am: Shurtleff v. Ci!Y. of Boston, 20-1800: the justices will return to the issue of religion in
public places. The question arises in a lawsuit filed by a Christian group after the city of Boston
denied the group's request to raise its flag- bearing a Latin cross- on a city hall flag pole. The city,
the group contends, routinely allows other groups to use the flag poles, for everything from the
Turkish flag to celebrate "Boston pride" and the observance of Juneteenth. The group went to court,
arguing that the denial of its application violates the First Amendment. Both the district court and
the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit ruled for the city.
11 am: Cassirer v. ThY.ssen- Bornemisza Collection Foundation, No.20-1566: Whether a federal
court hearing state law claims brought under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act must apply the
forum state's choice-of-law rules to determine what substantive law governs the claims at issue, or
whether it may apply federal common law.
Wednesday Jan.19
10 am: C�P,cion v. U.S., No.20-1650: Whether, when deciding if it should "impose a reduced
sentence" on an individual under Section 404(b) of the First Step Act of 2018, a district court must
or may consider intervening legal and factual developments.
11 am: Federal Election Commission v. Ted Cruz for Senate, 20-1650: (1) Whether appellees
have standing to challenge the statutory loan-repayment limit of52 U.S.C.30116(j), and (2) whether
the loan-repayment limit violates the Free Speech clause of the First Amendment.
challenging them continues. But the justices' views on whether to grant emergency relief will likely be
influenced by their views on the merits of the underlying challenges themselves.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration issued the vaccine-or-test mandate on Nov. 5. It
requires all employers with more than 100 employees to mandate that those employees be either fully
vaccinated against COVID-19 or be tested weekly and wear masks at work. Several challenges to the
rule were filed around the country, by (among others) business groups, religious groups, and Republican
led states, arguing that the mandate exceeds OSHA's authority. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th
Circuit temporarily put the mandate on hold in November, but the challenges were consolidated in the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit, which reinstated the mandate last week.
The challengers went quickly to the Supreme Court, filing over a dozen separate requests asking the
justices to block the 6th Circuit's ruling. The justices on Wednesday night set two of those requests
for oral argument - one filed by a group of trade associations and the other by a group of states, led
by Ohio - on a highly expedited basis. The 6th Circuit's ruling reviving the mandate will remain in force
until the Supreme Court acts on the challengers' request, although OSHA has indicated that it will not
issue citations for failure to comply with the rule until Jan. 10 at the earliest.
The Biden administration also came to the court last week, asking the justices to allow it to temporarily
enforce a rule issued by the Department of Health and Human Services that requires all health care
workers at facilities that participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs to be fully vaccinated against
COVID-19 unless they are eligible for a medical or religious exemption. Lower-court rulings blocked the
administration from enforcing the vaccine mandate in approximately half of the states. The justices will
hear argument on whether those rulings should remain in place.
Shortly after receiving the emergency requests last week, the court set a deadline of Dec. 30 for
responses in both disputes. The decision on Wednesday to hear oral argument on the emergency
requests came as somewhat of a surprise: It seemed more likely that the court would dispose of the
requests with a brief order, as it normally does on the so-called "shadow docket." Instead, and perhaps in
response to criticism of the increased use of the shadow docket to litigate major policy disputes, the
justices fast-tracked the cases for oral argument, as they have already done twice this year when fielding
requests for emergency relief in the battle over Texas' controversial abortion law and a
request by a Texas inmate to have his pastor touch him and pray out loud during his execution.

Snippet Good morning, We have meet last year in October, when we had the chance to discuss the UND
Forensic Science Program and visit the laboratory. Since our last discussion I made numer
ous changes to the curriculum and the laboratory to advance the program in the student's b
est interest. As such, the curriculum changes represent the stone base for the future Fore
nsic Science Education Programs Accreditation Commission (FEPAC) accreditation, and curren
tly the curriculum complies with the employment standards regulated by the forensic scienc
e laboratories. Both curriculum and courses suffered changes in this regard. Furthermore,
I am trying my best to equip the laboratory with major equipment much needed for the foren
sic science investigations, as I am looking to increase the students' hands-on activities
/ experience. This semester I am teaching two FS courses, both with a lab component, and I
was able to identify the need of motivating the students. In both courses, half of the st
udents have a clear idea of the path they want to follow in their career and half are conc
erned about their future and lack confidence. Student motivation and morale are just as im
portant to me as the changes made to the program and the lab. In this respect, I would be
honored if you would accept my invitation to be a guest speaker for these two courses. I k
now how important time is, as such, a 10-minute discussion would be more than enough. I do

Statewide, Judicial, Legislative Candidates and Sitting Office Holders

You are receiving this email as a reminder that you have a Year-end Campaign Contribution Statement due. The statement
covers the time frame from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021. The statement must be filed electronically and
can be submitted anytime between January 1, 2022 and January 31, 2022. Any statement filed after January 31, 2022 will
be assessed a late filing fee. The statement must be filed whether you received any contributions and/or made any
expenditures during the reporting period.
There are two attachments that have come with this reminder. One is for Statewide and Judicial Candidates and the other
is for legislative candidates. Please make sure you are reviewing the appropriate one.
Electronic submission of disclosure statements must be completed through the North Dakota Campaign Finance Online
(ND CFO) system. Access to the online system is found at Vote.ND.Gov. Once there, click on the "Campaign Finance
Disclosure" tab on the left-navigation or follow the instructions given to log in to the system by clicking Access North
Dakota Campaign Finance Online.
For statewide candidates, the ND CFO system will prompt you through all questions that must be answered to file your
statement; including reregistration for 2022. Please note that state law requires a filer to reregister each year whenever a
balance exists in their campaign contribution account or will continue to hold office. Since state law requires you to disclose
your beginning and ending balances for the year, you will be reregistered if an ending balance exists.

Subject: FAIR Act Letter from Alabama
CAUTION: This email originated outside of Louisiana Department of Justice. Do not click links or
open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.
Colleagues,
Attached is a letter from Attorney General Marshall to Congress in opposition to the Forced Arbitration Injustice
Repeal (FAIR) Act. The Act would amend federal law to prohibit any contract from requiring pre-dispute
arbitration or precluding class-action litigation with regard to employment, consumer, antitrust, and civil rights
disputes. The letter takes no position on whether or not this is good policy; rather, it argues that this decision
should be left to the states. Notably, all 50 states have laws regulating arbitration.
The position taken in this letter has historically received bipartisan support in the AG community, as evidenced
by the briefs referenced therein.
Please consider joining this effort. Sign-ons are due on August 4th, one week from today.
My best,

Subject: FAIR Act Letter from Alabama
CAUTION: This email originated outside ofLouisiana Department ofJustice. Do not click links or open
attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.
Colleagues,
Attached is a letter from Attorney General Marshall to Congress in opposition to the Forced Arbitration Injustice
Repeal (FAIR) Act. The Act would amend federal law to prohibit any contract from requiring pre-dispute
arbitration or precluding class-action litigation with regard to employment, consumer, antitrust, and civil rights
disputes. The letter takes no position on whether or not this is good policy; rather, it argues that this decision
should be left to the states. Notably, all 50 states have laws regulating arbitration.
The position taken in this letter has historically received bipartisan support in the AG community, as evidenced
by the briefs referenced therein.
Please consider joining this effort. Sign-ons are due on August 4th, one week from today.
My best,
Katherine Green Robertson

Dear Deb:
I want you to know how very much I appreciate your willingness to help our American Legion Loyd Spetz Post #1 with any
questions about charitable gambling. It appears as of now the gaming people, book keepers, accountants, and gaming committee
members are in agreement as to what they have to do to properly account for all gaming activity, revenues, and expenses.
The only one who does not fully understand/appreciate what gaming is all about at the level of our Post #1 is me as Finance
Officer. But I know if something comes up, I will at least try to seek out your direction.
For me as being a former Attorney General when gaming really got started in 1981, I find it is much different being at the level
where gaming is being operated than it was for me as AG when I could rely on experts like you to keep me out of trouble.
Thus, for now, I will stop bothering you. Thank you so very much.
Sincerely,
Bob

Dear Deb:
Thank you for taking the time to visit with me.

I can hardly believe in 1981 I was in the 1st year of my one term as Attorney General. That year we did the initial set up of the
Gaming Division of the Attorney General's office. Wayne as I recall was a member of the House of Representatives from Grand
Forks. My how time flies!

Snippet Dear Wayne: Congratulations on your decision to not seek re-election to another four-year
term as Attorney General. You have done a truly great job as AG, particularly in handling
so many difficult issues that we as AGs have to deal with as they are presented. I remembe
r one of the 1st calls I got when you took office. Sandy Tabor, your 1st Assistant AG, cal
led and asked me about conflicts of interest, her concern being obvious given the boards a
nd commissions on which they AG is a voting member. I remember saying to her, “Of course t
here is a conflict of interest.” But I told her that’s O.K. since the law and constitution
placing the AG in all these positions act as a waiver. In fact, the law requires the AG t
o act and vote on these boards and commissions. I have not wanted to make any comment whil
e you are in office. However, I think maybe the time is right to take the AG off of these
boards and commissions. This would leave the AG in a hands-off position to give legal advi
ce without any appearance of a conflict of interest. I bet the legislature would be intere
sted, as would your fellow state officials who would love to take a seat in place of the A
G. As you wrap up your term know this. I think, I know, you have done a simply outstanding

Cordially,
Wayne,
Thanks for sharing this.
Bakken Energy addressed all of these issues either in its response letter to the CCCA (attached) or in the hearing last week.
1. Bakken Energy proposes to use 175 million cubic feet of natural gas per day to produce hydrogen. How will the
product be transported to market? Is Bakken proposing to construct an ammonia pipeline? Where would it go and
what is the timeline/likelihood for permitting? If not a pipeline, how will that volume of product be transported?
a. Hydrogen - we stated during the CSEA hearing that we are in conversation with multiple long-haul trucking
companies interested in taking our hydrogen "at the plant gate." This means we expect these long-haul
trucking companies will build the hydrogen transportation system to us.
b. Ammonia - the distribution for ammonia already exists. We don't need to do anything to reach the ammonia
markets other than rely on what is already being done.
2. Basin Electric said it has been losing money at the synfuels plant due to low natural gas prices. But prices have
increased significantly in recent months. Is the plant once again profitable producing syngas from coal? If the plant
is profitable in the next three years of operation, how does it affect the plan to produce hydrogen?
a. As Basin Electric stated during the hearing, they have made the decision to sell this plant to the Bakken
Energy/Mitsubishi partnership in the next 15 months. They have suffered losses the last three years. Bakken
Energy stated its modeling expects losses through 2026. If natural gas prices are high, perhaps some
money will be made, but the variability in this market is not sustainable over the long term. In short, the plans
to convert the plant to hydrogen will not change because of the natural gas markets.
3. Federal grant guidelines generally require local support for a project, but Bakken Energy has not met with the CCCA
membership to answer their questions. Why hasn't that meeting occurred?
a. We told the CCCA when they called us to request a meeting that we have plans for an all employee meeting
at DGC that we have not been able to execute on. We reiterated that in the attached letter. We will meet
with 3 rd party groups after we have met with the employees to lay out specific plans.
4. It appears this project is heavily dependent on federal grants and loans from DOE. Will the parties, Bakken Energy
and Mitsubishi (which is a $5.2 trillion company), proceed with the project if it fails to receive federal support?
a. We stated during the CSEA hearing that while we are pursuing federal loan guarantees and grants, our
project is NOT dependent on securing these funds.
5. If the project depends on federal support that may or may not be received, is it premature for the State of North
Dakota to make a financial commitment at this time? Should the decision of the Industrial Commission be
postponed until there is more certainty about project funding?
a. See our answer immediately above.

Good morning Wayne -
Sorry this is a long email, but please read it in its entirety. The Coal Conversion Counties Association is a subset of the
Western Dakota Energy Association. The CCCA represents cities, counties and school districts in the three coal-producing
counties. Its members are concerned about the pending proposal of Bakken Energy and Mitsubishi to convert the Great
Plains Synfuels plant to produce blue hydrogen from natural gas. Attached is a letter you previously received stating some
of those concerns.
CCCA members suspect that because the project received the early endorsement of Governor Burgum, important
questions have not been addressed and the project has not been thoroughly vetted. Earlier this week, the application of
Bakken Energy for a grant and loan to support the project was endorsed by the Clean Sustainable Energy Authority, and
will be coming before the Industrial Commission next week. After listening to the orchestrated presentation of Bakken
Energy, and the ensuing discussion with the CSEA board, our coal county members still have many unanswered
questions. Please consider these as you ponder a decision at next week's Industrial Commission meeting:
1. Bakken Energy proposes to use 175 million cubic feet of natural gas per day to produce hydrogen. How will the product
be transported to market? Is Bakken proposing to construct an ammonia pipeline? Where would it go and what is the
timeline/likelihood for permitting? If not a pipeline, how will that volume of product be transported?

ngress has indisputably given OSHA the power to regulate occupational dangers, it has not
given that agency the power to regulate public health more broadly.” I can appreciate the
distinction the Supreme Court made between the OSHA mandate for workers generally and the
CMS mandates for medical workers, but I continue to have serious concerns about the effect
the ruling will have on retaining health care workers, many of whom may elect to simply q
uit rather than get the vaccine, seriously exacerbating staffing issues, especially in our
rural medical facilities. As I have emphasized from the beginning, the lawsuits were not
about whether people should get vaccinated, they were about opposing federal overreach. Tw
o other lawsuits continue, one against the federal mandate for federal contractors, and th
e other for employees, volunteers, and children with Head Start programs. # # #

I can appreciate the distinction the Supreme Court made between the OSHA mandate for workers generally and
the CMS mandates for medical workers, but I continue to have serious concerns about the effect the ruling will
have on retaining health care workers, many of whom may elect to simply quit rather than get the vaccine,
seriously exacerbating staffing issues, especially in our rural medical facilities.
As I have emphasized from the beginning, the lawsuits were not about whether people should get vaccinated,
they were about opposing federal overreach.
Two other lawsuits continue, one against the federal mandate for federal contractors, and the other for
employees, volunteers, and children with Head Start programs.

Mr. Giese,
As a result of recent changes made during the last legislative session requiring hospitals to
utilize the ambulance service district the state deems closest and most appropriate, the
Mountrail County Medical Center (MCMC) will utilize the services of the Stanley Ambulance
Service for inter-facility transfers when appropriate as determined by the transferring and
receiving Providers, beginning August 1.
For inter facility transfers, MCMC will continue to use Mountrail County Dispatch, per
policy, to summon the Stanley Ambulance Service when appropriate as determined by the
transferring and receiving Providers. With respect to the needs of the patient, the following
should be understood:
a. If the ground ambulance crew does not contact MCMC within 5 minutes of
requesting a transfer through dispatch, this will be deemed a refusal of
transport by said ambulance and cause to request alternate means of
appropriate transfer.
b. All inter-facility transfers from MCMC are considered emergent transfers unless
explicitly outlined by the referring Provider. Any delay of report to the bedside,
attempt by ground ambulance crew member to delay transfer to a later
time/date or otherwise condition acceptance of transport will be deemed a
refusal of transport.
c. All inter-facility transfers from MCMC are considered ALS transfers unless
explicitly outlined by the referring Provider. Any attempt by a ground
ambulance crew member to modify the requested level of care will be deemed
a refusal of transport.
d. The patient sex, age, medical condition, expected care/interventions, and
destination may be provided to the ambulance over the phone. All other
information will be provided at a bedside report. Equivocal responses will be
treated as a refusal of transport.
i. Insurance information, face sheets, or

demographics outside of the required documentation for transfer with
regard to EMTALA will be provided to ambulance personnel after an
inter-facility transfer is complete and a patient care report is sent to
MCMC.
MCMC has a 9.atient care first approach to medical care. As an additional request in the
interest of patient care and spirit of teamwork, MCMC is requesting that SAS personnel
communicate to MCMC via state radio, or the recorded EMS line at (701) 628-0367 - upon
dispatch for a 911 call, as well as at the earliest possible time after patient contact to
appraise MCMC staff of potential in-bound patients. MCMC certainly understands that
patient care comes first, but we would like to strive for in-bound report greater than 5
minutes prior to arrival.
Either works. See you at 1 :00.

the North Dakota Racing commission will be open to issuing a multi-jurisdictional license to them Such a license could
come with stipulations that our platform not be available to North Dakota residents - although at some point in the longer

Wayne,
Thanks for sharing this.
Bakken Energy addressed all of these issues either in its response letter to the CCCA (attached) or in the hearing last week.
1. Bakken Energy proposes to use 175 million cubic feet of natural gas per day to produce hydrogen. How will the
product be transported to market? Is Bakken proposing to construct an ammonia pipeline? Where would it go and
what is the timeline/likelihood for permitting? If not a pipeline, how will that volume of product be transported?
a. Hydrogen - we stated during the CSEA hearing that we are in conversation with multiple long-haul trucking
companies interested in taking our hydrogen "at the plant gate." This means we expect these long-haul
trucking companies will build the hydrogen transportation system to us.
b. Ammonia - the distribution for ammonia already exists. We don't need to do anything to reach the ammonia
markets other than rely on what is already being done.
increased significantly in recent months. Is the plant once again profitable producing syngas from coal? If the plant
is profitable in the next three years of operation, how does it affect the plan to produce hydrogen?
a. As Basin Electric stated during the hearing, they have made the decision to sell this plant to the Bakken
Energy/Mitsubishi partnership in the next 15 months. They have suffered losses the last three years. Bakken
Energy stated its modeling expects losses through 2026. If natural gas prices are high, perhaps some
money will be made, but the variability in this market is not sustainable over the long term. In short, the plans
to convert the plant to hydrogen will not change because of the natural gas markets.
a. We told the CCCA when they called us to request a meeting that we have plans for an all employee meeting
at DGC that we have not been able to execute on. We reiterated that in the attached letter. We will meet
with 3 rd party groups after we have met with the employees to lay out specific plans.
4. It appears this project is heavily dependent on federal grants and loans from DOE. Will the parties, Bakken Energy
and Mitsubishi (which is a $5.2 trillion company), proceed with the project if it fails to receive federal support?
a. We stated during the CSEA hearing that while we are pursuing federal loan guarantees and grants, our
project is NOT dependent on securing these funds.
5. If the project depends on federal support that may or may not be received, is it premature for the State of North
Dakota to make a financial commitment at this time? Should the decision of the Industrial Commission be
postponed until there is more certainty about project funding?
a. See our answer immediately above.

Sorry this is a long email, but please read it in its entirety. The Coal Conversion Counties Association is a subset of the
Western Dakota Energy Association. The CCCA represents cities, counties and school districts in the three coal-producing
counties. Its members are concerned about the pending proposal of Bakken Energy and Mitsubishi to convert the Great
Plains Synfuels plant to produce blue hydrogen from natural gas. Attached is a letter you previously received stating some
of those concerns.
questions have not been addressed and the project has not been thoroughly vetted. Earlier this week, the application of
Bakken Energy for a grant and loan to support the project was endorsed by the Clean Sustainable Energy Authority, and
will be coming before the Industrial Commission next week. After listening to the orchestrated presentation of Bakken
Energy, and the ensuing discussion with the CSEA board, our coal county members still have many unanswered
questions. Please consider these as you ponder a decision at next week's Industrial Commission meeting:
1. Bakken Energy proposes to use 175 million cubic feet of natural gas per day to produce hydrogen. How will the product
be transported to market? Is Bakken proposing to construct an ammonia pipeline? Where would it go and what is the
timeline/likelihood for permitting? If not a pipeline, how will that volume of product be transported?

5. If the project depends on federal support that may or may not be received, is it premature for the State of North Dakota
to make a financial commitment at this time? Should the decision of the Industrial Commission be postponed until there is

Thank you for your consideration.
