Appalachian Region Independent Power Producers Association. Jaret A. Gibbons. 7/21/26

Summary: The Appalachian Region Independent Power Producers Association (ARIPPA) supports the Section 232 investigation, arguing that anthracite coal is a strategic industrial raw material essential for national security, steel production, and infrastructure. They emphasize that domestic production must be preserved to reduce dependence on foreign suppliers and to support the coal refuse reclamation-to-energy industry.
