The National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA) is pleased to provide comments to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) (the agencies) on the Waters of the United States (WOTUS) Notice: The Final Response to SCOTUS; Establishment of a Public Docket; Request for Recommendations. NSSGA is a member of the Waters Advocacy Coalition and incorporates their comments by reference. NSSGA supports the agencies in working towards a durable rule based on the unanimous Sackett opinion by the Supreme Court of the US (SCOTUS).

The Waters Advocacy Coalition (“WAC”) appreciates the opportunity to provide the following recommendations to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (“Corps”) (collectively, “Agencies”) on defining “waters of the United States” (“WOTUS”), consistent with the U.S. Supreme Court’s interpretation of the scope of Clean Water Act (the “Act” or “CWA”) jurisdiction.

The undersigned organizations, representing millions of Main Street businesses operating in every industry and community in America, applaud the Department of the Treasury (Department) and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) for issuing the interim final rule on March 21, 2025, which revises the beneficial ownership information (BOI) reporting requirements under the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA).

On behalf of the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA), I write to express our strong support for H.R. 1897, the ESA Amendments Act of 2025. This critical legislation takes necessary steps to modernize the Endangered Species Act (ESA) by prioritizing science-based conservation efforts, improving regulatory transparency and streamlining permitting processes essential to economic growth and infrastructure development.

The undersigned trade associations appreciate the opportunity to provide comment on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking regarding N-(1,3-Dimethylbutyl)-N′-phenyl-pphenylenediamine (6PPD) and its transformation product, 6PPD-quinone; Regulatory Investigation under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA); Extension of the Comment Period; 90 Fed. Reg. 5,798 (Jan. 17, 2025).

The undersigned associations ("Associations") appreciate the opportunity to comment on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (the Service) proposed rule (FWS-R3-ES-2024-0137) titled, "Threatened Species Status with Section 4(d) Rule for Monarch Butterfly and Designation of Critical Habitat." Given the critical nature of this proposed listing and its potential to stifle much needed investment in vital industries throughout the supply chains that our organizations represent, we encourage the Service to focus on a community and science­ based approach.

The Waters Advocacy Coalition (WAC) applauds your leadership in holding today’s hearing on “America Builds: Clean Water Act Permitting and Project Delivery.” WAC represents a large and diverse cross-section of the nation’s broad business community, including the construction, transportation, real estate, mining, manufacturing, forestry, agriculture, energy, wildlife conservation, and public health and safety sectors.

The undersigned diverse group of construction and business associations—whose membership employs millions of construction industry professionals who successfully build and rebuild America— write to ask you to eliminate President Biden’s Executive Order 14063 and related final rule requiring federal construction contracts of $35 million or more to be subjected to divisive project labor agreements.

We respectfully request that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) withdraw the December 13, 2024 proposed Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) for stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity.1 We are extremely disappointed in this proposal for several reasons, most importantly that it imposes substantial additional costs on small businesses without any evident additional benefits.2 The next Administration should have the opportunity to thoroughly re-examine this proposal, using the Executive Order 12866 review process.

The undersigned organizations, representing millions of Main Street businesses operating in every industry and community in America, applaud the Department for its swift action in pausing the Corporate Transparency Act’s (CTA) reporting requirements while a nationwide court order remains in place, and respectfully ask that you strengthen this action by administratively extending the CTA filing deadline until at least January 1, 2026.
