ALEXANDRIA, VA – National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association’s President and CEO Michele Stanley issued the following statement on the 70th anniversary of the Interstate Highway System.

The American Cement Association, National Asphalt Pavement Association, National Ready Mixed Concrete Association, and National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association collectively represent the construction materials industry that is essential to building, modernizing, and maintaining the nation's transportation infrastructure. Together, our members produce and supply the cement, concrete, asphalt, and aggregates that form the backbone of America's highways, bridges, airports and airfields, rail and transit systems, and freight networks.

The undersigned organizations, representing a broad cross-section of stakeholders, urge the House of Representatives to promptly consider and advance the BUILD America 250 Act. The legislation reflects the longstanding bipartisan recognition that a safe and reliable transportation system is essential to the nation’s economy and quality of life.

The Coalition for a Democratic Workplace (CDW) and the 376 undersigned organizations, representing industries across the country, urge you to oppose the Faster Labor Contracts Act (H.R. 5408) (FLCA), which is being brought to the House floor via a discharge petition (H.Res. 1140). The FLCA would empower the federal government to dictate the terms of contracts between unions and companies.

The Fix the EPA Veto Coalition is focused on a significant threat—the potential use of the Clean Water Act’s section 404(c) “veto” authority to revoke permits retroactively for resource and development projects that are critical to America’s energy, economy, and national security.

On behalf of the Work Zone Safety Coalition, representing contractors, engineers and safety providers united by an urgent mission to protect roadway workers and the traveling public, we write to voice our strong support for the critical work zone safety policies included in the BUILD America 250 Act. For too long, work zones have been among the most dangerous places on America's roads. On average, a work zone crash occurs in America about every five minutes, according to the National Work Zone Safety Information Clearinghouse.

On behalf of the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA) and our nearly 500 member companies, I write to thank you for introducing the bipartisan BUILD America 250 Act and to commend the Committee for its work on this critical legislation. NSSGA represents the producers and suppliers of crushed stone, sand and gravel: the essential construction materials that form the literal foundation of every highway, bridge, and transit project in America.

The American Cement Association, National Asphalt Pavement Association, National Ready Mixed Concrete Association, and the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association, which collectively represent construction materials that are essential to building surface transportation projects across the country, endorse the bipartisan BUILD America 250 Act. We encourage all members to vote yes and pass this critical legislation out of Committee.

The National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA) appreciates the opportunity to comment on the U.S. Trade Representative’s (USTR) Request for Comments in Docket No. USTR-2026-0067 regarding Section 301 investigations into structural excess capacity and production in manufacturing sectors.

The undersigned organizations, representing millions of employers operating in every sector of the American economy, urge the Department of the Treasury and the Department of Justice to support an expeditious review of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) by the Supreme Court (Court). The CTA imposes an unprecedented reporting regime on tens of millions of businesses and other legal entities, raising exceptionally important constitutional, privacy, and federalism questions warranting definitive review by the Court.
