We, the undersigned organizations representing millions of Main Street businesses and employing tens of millions of American workers, urge you not to raise taxes on small, individually, and family-owned businesses as part of any effort to enact a reconciliation bill this year.

The Coalition for Workplace Safety (“CWS”) submits these comments in response to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (“OSHA”) Proposed Rule, Improve Tracking of Workplace Injuries and Illnesses (87 Fed. Reg. 18528, March 30, 2022). The CWS is comprised of associations and employers who believe in improving workplace safety through cooperation, assistance, transparency, clarity, and accountability. The CWS believes that workplace safety is everyone’s concern.

The Americans for Transportation Mobility (ATM) coalition and the Transportation Construction Coalition (TCC) opposes any and all efforts to undermine recent and historic infrastructure investments, including suspending federal and state motor fuel user fees, commonly known as “gas taxes.” American consumers are facing significant economic anxieties brought about by record inflation, continuing supply chain issues, high energy prices, labor shortages, and continued concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic.

Thank you for your leadership in implementing the historic Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). This investment in our infrastructure comes at a critical time as our nation navigates the ongoing supply chain crisis and inflation.

The National Sand, Stone and Gravel Association (“NSSGA”) appreciates the opportunity to provide this comment letter to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to respond to the SEC’s rulemaking proposal on The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors published in the Federal Register on April 11, 2022 (the “Proposed Rule”). NSSGA represents aggregates producers, as well as those who manufacture equipment and provide services that support the construction industry.

On behalf of the 400 members of the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA), I am writing to share our support for H.R. 8187 the Mining Schools Act of 2022 and urge the Committee on Natural Resources to advance this critical bill. NSSGA thanks Rep. Burgess Owens and Rep. Jim Costa for their leadership drafting this proposal that will help advance our nation’s mining schools.

On behalf of the 400 members of the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA), I am writing to share our support for the Mining Schools Act of 2022 and thank you for your leadership in drafting this critical legislation. As you may know, our nation’s mining schools are critical to the work of the aggregates industry as they train the next generation of engineers and experts needed to build and operate the thousands of mines that supply over 2.56 billion tons of aggregates each year.

The National Sand, Stone and Gravel Association (NSSGA) submits this comment to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on the Request for Information published in the Federal Register on April 21, 2022 on the implementation of the “Build America, Buy America Act” contained in P.L. 117-58. NSSGA represents aggregates producers and those who manufacture equipment and services that support the construction industry.

On behalf of the over 400-members of the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA), I am writing to share our concern with H.R. 2794, the Boundary Waters Wilderness Protection and Pollution Prevention Act. This legislation would add unnecessary restrictions to mining activities over a large area of Northern Minnesota, impacting the ability to develop critical infrastructure and putting a crucial economic sector at risk that supplies high-paying jobs across rural communities.

The National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA), the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA) and the National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA) represent thousands of companies who are responsible for creating and supplying construction materials needed to build our infrastructure and communities.
