The undersigned trade associations appreciate the opportunity to comment on the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) request for information regarding methods and practices for advancing public participation and community engagement (PPCE). We believe it is essential that all individuals have a fair and equal opportunity to petition their government and have their views and interests represented within the federal policy and rulemaking process. Our associations strongly support the free exchange of information and ideas among all stakeholders.

The Coalition for Workplace Safety (CWS) and the 58 undersigned organizations urge your support for Representative Mary Miller’s Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution to nullify the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) Final Rule, “Worker Walkaround Representative Designation Process,” published in the Federal Register on April 1, 2024, which would allow third parties looking to harm employers to accompany OSHA safety and health officers during facility inspections.

I am writing to express our steadfast support for your initiative to introduce a bipartisan, bicameral Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution to overturn the NEPA Phase II Final Rule. Your leadership in seeking to correct this regulatory misstep is crucial for ensuring that infrastructure development can proceed efficiently and equitably.

The organizations signed below collectively submit the following comments on the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) filed March 12, 2024 entitled “Buy America Requirements for Manufactured Products”.

The undersigned organizations, representing millions of small businesses, strongly support legislation to repeal the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA). Your bill, appropriately entitled the Repealing Big Brother Overreach Act, would put an end to this poorly constructed and onerous reporting regime. The CTA was designed to help law enforcement prevent money laundering by requiring shell companies to report information regarding their beneficial owners (BOI) to the Department of the Treasury.

On behalf of the over 450 Members of the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA), we write in strong support of The FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024. We applaud your efforts to craft this bill in a bipartisan, bicameral manner, and look forward to its swift passage. NSSGA represents the aggregates and industrial sand industry of our country, with over 9,000 facilities and more than 100,000 employees in high-paying jobs.

The undersigned associations represent thousands of members that generate trillions of dollars in economic activity and employ millions of workers across this country. We urge you to pass a Congressional Review Act resolution to disapprove the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s recently finalized rule that unnecessarily tightened the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for fine particulate matter (PM2.5), which will have an adverse impact on economic growth. Protecting our environment and improving public health are priorities for our members.

We, the undersigned trade associations have members that collectively employ millions of Americans in all sectors of the U.S. economy. Our members are committed to environmental stewardship and to policies that encourage domestic emissions reductions that address climate change. Yet, we write to raise serious concerns about an authorization request from the California Air Resources Board (CARB) pertaining to rail locomotive emissions and respectfully urge you to deny their petition.

On behalf of the organizations listed below in the construction materials industry, we strongly urge you to veto Senate Bill 368. This bill would inappropriately mischaracterize over 2,500 hardworking Georgians employed in the construction materials industry at international companies, as foreign agents. SB 368 requires prohibitively onerous reporting for foreign-based companies to do business in Georgia. Aggregates, concrete, cement and asphalt are critical to the supply chain, and they are used to sustain our modern way of life and build our nation’s communities and infrastructure.

The undersigned associations (the “Coalition”) offer the following comments in response to the U.S.
