Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (KY) "I applaud Administrator Scott Pruitt for his decision to delay this Obama Administration issued regulation, which was finalized in October 2015. This regulation was yet another attack on the Middle Class by the Obama Administration and was forced through despite significant concern from communities across the country. Today's postponement will give states and municipalities relief in the interim while EPA continues to review NAAQS levels." Senator Shelley Moore Capito (WV) "State and local governments and employers across the country have had insufficient time to comply with the latest revisions to the ozone standards. I commend Administrator Pruitt and his staff at the EPA for acknowledging this reality and acting today to delay existing standards. The overlapping standards have caused regulatory confusion, even as ozone emissions continue to decline. However, Congress must now provide a permanent fix to the broken process of reviewing and implementing ozone standards." Senator Jeff Flake (AZ) "It's great to see the EPA working with Arizonans for a change. Nowhere are the flaws of previous administration's one-size-fits-all approach to regulating ozone more evident than in Arizona, a desert state where naturally-occurring ozone makes it impossible to meet the new federal mandate. While today's move buys Arizona much-needed time, I remain committed to advancing a solution that will provide permanent relief from this egregious and unworkable rule." said Flake. "I'd especially like to Sierra Club v. EPA 18cv3472 NDCA Tier 10 ED 002061 00077873-00002 thank EPA Administrator Pruitt for listening to local stakeholders and recognizing Arizona's already successful efforts to significantly reduce ozone level in recent years." Attorney General Ken Paxton (TX) "I am grateful for the leadership of EPA Administrator Pruitt in courageously pausing the costly and ineffective Ozone Rule, and I'm hopeful that the one year delay will provide time for the EPA to review the detrimental effects the Ozone Rule will have on the Texas economy. Texas has continually reduced ambient ozone concentrations in the state without stifling the growth of Texas's industry or population, and looks forward to continuing efforts to improve air quality while bolstering the Texas economy."
