On behalf of the undersigned organizations, we urge Congress to pass the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026, historic comprehensive permitting reform legislation, and send it to the President’s desk as soon as possible. At a time when affordability remains a top concern for American families, there is no greater opportunity to lower costs and improve everyday life than by ensuring needed projects, investments, and other activities can move forward in a timely, predictable, and transparent manner.
 

As representatives of a diverse coalition of businesses, including construction, manufacturers, and other leading economic sectors, the undersigned organizations write to request that the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA” or “the Agency”) promptly consider changes to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (“NPDES”) Exclusions and Definitions that permits for stormwater only apply to constituents in stormwater caused by industrial activity based on substantial, site-specific evidence linking those constituents to industrial activity at a site.

On behalf of the undersigned organizations, we urge your support for the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026. The durable and lasting permitting reforms contained within this legislation will deliver transformative change for industries and communities across our nation and the economy.
 

The American Highway Users Alliance (the Highway Users) is pleased to express support for the recently announced Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026 (BAAJA), S. 5653. The BAAJA takes important steps in modernizing and improving the permitting process for infrastructure and energy projects. Today’s permitting system is slow and unpredictable, leading to increased costs and needlessly delaying construction projects. This bill would bring greater certainty to the permitting process and speed up construction projects.

On behalf of the American Cement Association, the National Asphalt Pavement Association, the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association and the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association, we write in strong support of the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act and urge the Senate to pass it. Our members produce cement, asphalt, ready mixed concrete and crushed stone, sand and gravel, the construction materials used to build and maintain America’s roads, bridges, housing, water systems and energy infrastructure.

We are writing on behalf of the American Alliance for Innovation (AAI) to provide the attached Principles of TSCA Risk Management and to ask EPA to consider these guiding principles as it develops future risk management regulations under Section 6 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). AAI is a coalition of trade associations representing manufacturers, innovators, and downstream users across the U.S. economy that rely on chemicals and chemical-based products to support advanced manufacturing, infrastructure, energy, healthcare, and other essential sectors.

On behalf of the undersigned organizations, we appreciate your willingness to work with us on our concerns regarding AB 1666. With the amendments taken in print today removing the material preference provisions, the undersigned organizations are pleased to move to a neutral position on the bill.
 

The 51 undersigned organizations urge the swift confirmation of Keith Sonderling to serve as Secretary of Labor. Acting Secretary Sonderling is well-qualified and has extensive experience in workplace and public service. He has a proven record of success managing the Department of Labor, which he has been doing since April, and, if confirmed, he will continue to steer the Department of Labor toward policies that protect workers, provide clear guidance to the employer community, and reduce the regulatory burden on the economy, allowing it to thrive.
 

The undersigned organizations appreciate the opportunity to comment on the Securities and Exchange Commission's (the Commission) proposal to rescind in full the climate-related disclosure rule adopted in 2024 (Proposal). The undersigned organizations, representing companies of every size, in every sector, and across every region of the country, support full rescission.
