Message From: Sent: To: Subject: Guith, Christopher [CGuith@USChamber.com] 4/12/2018 9:39:00 PM Guith, Christopher [CGuith@USChamber.com] Chamber Statements on OFD & NAAQS Memo U.S. Chamber statement on Presidential memo on air quality regulatory processes: "Today's presidential directive contains commonsense reforms that will improve the air quality regulatory process so domestic manufacturing and job creation face fewer regulatory barriers. The EPA, states, and businesses have a long track record of working cooperatively to improve air quality across the nation. Unfortunately, during the previous administration, that cooperation was abandoned in favor of an overly aggressive approach that unfairly burdened state and local economies. This made it more difficult and costly to obtain permits for badly needed infrastructure, energy, and manufacturing activities. The measures in today's directive will restore the cooperation necessary for continued environmental progress while enhancing the competitiveness of U.S. industry. We look forward to working with EPA as it executes this directive."

Bringing infrastructure projects to completion quickly and efficiently is critical for generating economic growth, which is why we made permit streamlining a cornerstone of our infrastructure plan. Simply put, it shouldn't take longer to approve a project than to build it. Environmental reviews are crucial to ensuring clean air and water, but it's possible and necessary for the reviews to be completed in a more timely manner. We welcome the administration's commitment to One Federal Decision and applaud it as a much-needed step in the process to modernize America's infrastructure. We're eager to see more of this kind of reform-minded progress from the administration and Congress in the weeks and months to come."
