An amendment numbered 11 printed in House Report 112-213 to update the Clean Air Act's criteria for what factors can be considered when promulgating National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). Specifically, it would allow the EPA Administrator to consider feasibility and cost when setting these standards, which would negate the effect of a 2001 Supreme Court ruling that held implementation costs cannot be considered when setting NAAQS.

TRANSPARENCY IN REGULATORY ANALYSIS OF IMPACTS ON THE NATION ACT OF
                                  2011

  The Committee resumed its sitting.


                  Amendment No. 6 Offered by Mr. Dent

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 6
printed in House Report 112-213.
  Mr. DENT. I have an amendment at the desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Page 9, after line 20, insert the following:
       (I) ``National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
     Pollutants from the Portland Cement Manufacturing Industry
     and Standards of Performance for Portland Cement Plants'',
     published at 75 Fed. Reg. 54970 (September 9, 2010).

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 406, the gentleman
from Pennsylvania (Mr. Dent) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Pennsylvania.
  Mr. DENT. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
  This amendment simply adds the National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants, NESHAP or Cement MACT, to the covered rules
within H.R. 2401. Reasonable efforts to limit the emissions of
hazardous pollutants by cement manufacturing facilities are most
certainly appropriate, but EPA has failed to craft effective and
efficient regulations.
  These NESHAP standards will be very, very difficult and extremely
costly for domestic cement manufacturers to meet, severely jeopardizing
the ability of an essential American basic industry to remain
competitive with foreign importers. Including NESHAP and H.R. 2401 will
allow the loss of American jobs and the weakening of domestic
manufacturers' global competitiveness to become key considerations
during the completion of the rulemaking process.
  We must understand the impacts of these rules on jobs and our
manufacturing competitiveness. Here now are some simple, basic facts
about the American cement industry, and I represent the largest cement-
producing district in America. I'm cochair of the Cement Caucus along
with cosponsor Mike Ross of Arkansas. This industry employs about
13,000 Americans. Four thousand of those jobs have been lost since
2008. There are 97 cement plants in America producing today, and
there's a presence in nearly every State as well, I might add. Cement
is an absolutely essential basic industry in American manufacturing. It
plays a major role in the development of our Nation's infrastructure.
  I think we need to better understand some of this background, too,
regarding these NESHAP rules.
  NESHAP, of course, amends EPA's maximum achievable control
technology, or MACT, and performance standards for cement kilns. And
this is utilizing an unrealistic pollutant-by-pollutant approach for
application of MACT. MACT requirements are designed to direct
industries toward the pollution control technology used by the best
performers in a certain industry sector. It cobbles together a range of
different performance characteristics applicable to different
pollutants without determining if it is feasible or even possible for
any one kiln to comply with all of these standards.
  The truth is there is not a single cement manufacturing plant in
America that can comply with all of these standards simultaneously. The
chemical composition, too, of key cement inputs, such as limestone,
vary from region to region. Consequently, NESHAP will have
disproportionate impacts on different manufacturing locations across
the country simply based on the type of limestone being used in the
process of manufacturing cement.
  We should talk, too, about the impacts on the domestic cement
industry: $2.2 billion worth of compliance costs, and that's an EPA
estimate; $3.4 billion in compliance costs, and that's the industry
estimate. So there's a lot of cost here. We're in the billions.
  There are numerous plants. There are estimates that from 12 to 18 of
these plants across the country may be idle or permanently shut down.
And these are massive facilities with tremendous capital investment.
And we believe that the national price for Portland cement may increase
by 5.4 percent. Domestic production will fall by 11 percent. Thousands
of high-quality jobs could or would be lost.
  One major domestic cement producer has already publicly announced
that, due to other regulatory uncertainties of this NESHAP and other
pending regulations, it is halting construction of a new state-of-the-
art cement kiln, suspending over $350 million in new investment and the
creation of over 1,500 construction jobs.
  With respect to global emissions, what will this mean? The reduction
of domestic production of cement will naturally lead to an increase in
our Nation's reliance on foreign cement. And I can assure you those
foreign producers are not going to be complying with the NESHAP rules.
So this is going to shift overseas production and will likely increase
global greenhouse emissions in two ways:

[[Page H6427]]

  First, transporting cement to the U.S. from international markets
will require tremendous amounts of fossil fuels, substantially
increasing the amount of carbon emitted per unit of cement used; and
  Second, foreign suppliers will be manufacturing in countries with
little or no environmental protections.
  So it's critically important that EPA produce realistic and
achievable regulations. Including NESHAP in H.R. 2401 will help EPA
take into account the economic impact of its flawed regulations, and a
more thorough economic analysis will lead to a better final rule.
  Finally, I wanted to say one thing. The Federal stimulus law is
actually helping to finance the construction of a cement importation
terminal in Staten Island, New York City, designed to displace many
cement workers in my district and all across the northeastern United
States, using Federal money to create a handful of jobs while
displacing many in basic industry and manufacturing. That's got to
stop.
  Pass this amendment, and then pass the underlying bill.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The time of the gentleman from Pennsylvania has
expired.
  Mr. RUSH. I claim time in opposition for purposes of debate.
  The ACTING Chair. The gentleman from Illinois is recognized for 5
minutes.
  Mr. RUSH. Thank you.
  Many organizations are on record opposing the TRAIN Act or opposing
efforts to block rules to reduce pollution from the country's dirtiest
power plants.
  Numerous public health groups, including the American Lung
Association, the American Public Health Association, the American
Thoracic Society, Physicians for Social Responsibility, and Asthma and
Allergy Foundation of America all sent a letter to Congress expressing
their support for full implementation of the Clean Air Act and opposing
``all efforts to weaken, delay, or block progress toward the continuing
implementation of this vital law.''
  The American Public Health Association stated that it opposes the
TRAIN Act because it is ``ill-conceived legislation that would prevent
EPA from protecting the public's health from dangerous and deadly air
pollution.''
  The National Association of Clean Air Agencies opposes this bill as
well. NACAA sent a letter expressing its concern that the TRAIN Act
would ``create regulatory delays that could lead to thousands of
premature deaths, remove important regulatory tools upon which States
and localities depend, impose additional costs on government as well as
small businesses, create regulatory uncertainty, cause job losses and
defund an important and cost-effective air pollution control program.''

                              {time}  1020

  Groups representing millions of individual Americans who believe in
protecting our environment strongly oppose this bill and other efforts
to weaken clean air protections. These groups include the League of
Conservative Voters, the Sierra Club, National Resources Defense
Council, Environment America, the National Audubon Society, the
Environmental Defense Fund, and the Union of Concerned Scientists. They
stated in a letter to Congress that ``sacrificing tens of thousands of
American lives will not create more jobs. Poisoning the air our
children and our families breathe will not stimulate the economy.''
  Three hundred sportsmen's organizations representing our Nation's
hunters, anglers, and the businesses that depend on our wildlife and
natural resources support the EPA's effort to cut mercury pollution,
and I quote them with these words. They said: ``Strongly oppose any
effort to weaken the Clean Air Act.''
  The Evangelical Environment Network has been running radio ads
expressing their opposition to efforts to block the Mercury and Air
Toxics rule. Mercury can damage the developing brain of fetuses and
children, causing learning disabilities and neurological problems. The
president of this group stated: ``We believe that mercury offers a
significant potential for hindering our children from developing a pure
and wonderful life.''
  The Obama administration strongly opposes the TRAIN Act. The
administration plans to veto this legislation if it ever reaches the
President's desk, as the bill would undermine decades of progress in
cleaning up the Nation's air quality by--and this is a quote from the
Obama administration--``blocking EPA's ability to move forward with two
long-overdue Clean Air Act rules.''
  Americans don't support weakening the Clean Air Act or blocking
efforts to reduce dangerous air pollution from power plants. The
widespread opposition to the TRAIN Act makes that perfectly clear.
  Mr. Chairman, I urge my colleagues to oppose this horrendous bill.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Dent).
  The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes
appeared to have it.
  Mr. RUSH. I demand a recorded vote.
  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Pennsylvania
will be postponed.


           Amendment No. 7 Offered by Mr. Hastings of Florida

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 7
printed in House Report 112-213.
  Mr. HASTINGS of Florida. Mr. Chairman, I have an amendment at the
desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Page 10, after line 12, insert the following new subsection
     (and redesignate accordingly):
       (f) Exclusion From Review.--Notwithstanding subsection (e),
     the Committee may not include in the analyses conducted under
     section 3 consideration of any rule or guideline promulgated
     in compliance with Executive Order 12866 (58 Fed. Reg. 51735,
     relating to regulatory planning and review) or the National
     Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.).
       Beginning on page 11, line 17, strike section 5 (and
     redesignate accordingly).

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 406, the gentleman
from Florida (Mr. Hastings) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Florida.
  Mr. HASTINGS of Florida. Mr. Chairman, H.R. 2401 is a toxic bill that
attempts to dismantle any government regulation to protect our Nation's
public health and environment.
  To set the stage for my brief remarks, let me cite to the American
public Executive Order 12866, which says: ``Each agency shall assess
both the costs and the benefits of the intended regulation, and
recognizing that some costs and benefits are difficult to quantify,
propose or adopt a regulation only upon a reasoned determination that
the benefits of the intended regulation justify its cause.''
  Now, we've been operating under that particular provision for a
substantial period of time. And quite frankly, Congress' decisions with
reference to the Clean Air Act, signed by President Richard Nixon in
1970, came about as a result of continuing arguments from industry that
cleaning up air pollution was too expensive or not feasible.
  This bill forbids the Environmental Protection Agency from finalizing
both the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards rule and, importantly, the
Cross-State Air Pollution rule requiring coal-fired power plants
without modern pollution controls to install controls, to reduce
emissions of mercury and other toxic air pollutants, fine particulates,
and the pollutants that cause smog and acid rain.
  In the Rules Committee, I spoke about being in Lavigny in Poland and
watching the pollution that was destroying the Black Forest in another
country, in Germany. We've had that take place in our States, where one
State is offering emissions that come down on another State's
population, and therefore the Cross-State Air Pollution rule said that
coal-fired plants should install modern pollution controls. And guess
what? Sixty percent of them, including one of the largest producers of
electricity in this country--Exelon in Illinois--do favor these same
rules that are being sought to be delayed. And they favor them for the
reason that, among other things, it has produced jobs and it has cured
the problems that have been pointed out by

[[Page H6428]]

the American Lung Association and countless other organizations that
favor the Clean Air Act and are opposed to delaying further two
particularly important measures that would allow for pollution to
continue to be cleaned up.
  Port Everglades in Florida, right outside my constituency, for all of
the years that I have lived there--and that nears 50--this coal-powered
plant has been producing emissions. Over the course of time, they have
reduced those emissions. And Florida Power & Light recently indicated
that they're going to do everything that they can to meet the emissions
standards rather than sit up and try and oppose them because they
recognize, one, that they do have all of the juice--if you can call
electricity that.
  And in the final analysis, those of us that benefit from it are going
to wind up paying more. But to pay more to make sure that children
don't have asthma and to make sure that people don't have lung
pollution and to make sure that lakes don't go dead from mercury or
that fish don't have in them more mercury than they rightly should for
food consumption, then I'm willing to pay more; and I believe most
Americans are as well in order that we will have clean air.
  I ask for support of my amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The time of the gentleman has expired.
  Mr. WHITFIELD. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Kentucky is recognized for 5
minutes.
  Mr. WHITFIELD. I have great admiration for the gentleman from
Florida, who is always eloquent in his remarks.

                              {time}  1030

  He started off his support of his amendment by saying that we are
trying to dismantle any regulation. I would like to remind everyone,
once again, that this bill applies to 14 EPA regulations and we do not
delay in any way 12 of them. And on the other two, we delay one of
them, both of them, 6 months after the final report is due.
  Now, he had mentioned that Exelon supported the new EPA regulations.
Exelon is a company that we all admire and respect, but it's a nuclear
energy company, so there's nothing in these regulations that has any
impact on them, as far as I know. But all of these regulations are
trying to drive the coal industry out of business, that still provides
50 percent of all the electricity in America.
  Now, in the TRAIN Act, we simply ask this independent government
agency, composed of Obama administration appointees, to examine the
cumulative impact of all of these rules, because EPA has never been
quite this aggressive. And I might add that the two rules that we asked
to delay for further analysis, an independent research group said that
the annualized cost would be almost $18 billion that utilities would
have to spend to buy equipment that may not be able to even then
achieve the standards because the technology is not available.
  The issue is not about mercury. The utilities do a great job of
cleaning up mercury. EPA itself said that its Utility MACT would only
benefit--the benefit of the Utility MACT would be only .004 percent
attributable to mercury because 99 percent of mercury in America comes
from nature and from outside other countries that the trade winds bring
in to our country. So utilities don't object to the mercury part of
this.
  But they're now adding hydrogen fluoride and hydrogen chloride, of
which there is no technology available to achieve the standard that EPA
is setting.
  So because of the cost, because of the unique vulnerability of our
economy today, 12 of these regulations we don't delay at all. We just
say, let's study the cumulative impact, which the President asked for
in his Executive order that he issued recently. He said we need to look
at the cumulative impact. That's what we're trying to do.
  This amendment would basically say, you don't look at the cumulative
impact, you just take the existing studies that have been made. I would
also say that EPA didn't even do any study on the greenhouse gas, which
we're only trying to analyze the full cost of that.
  For those reasons, I would respectfully oppose the gentleman's
amendment.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from Florida (Mr. Hastings).
  The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes
appeared to have it.
  Mr. HASTINGS of Florida. Mr. Chairman, I demand a recorded vote.
  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Florida will
be postponed.


          Amendment No. 8 Offered by Mr. Connolly of Virginia

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 8
printed in House Report 112-213.
  Mr. CONNOLLY of Virginia. Mr. Chairman, I have an amendment at the
desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Page 10, after line 24, insert the following:
       (g) Additional Analyses.--The Committee shall conduct or
     commission studies to identify pollution control policies
     that should be adopted and implemented by the United States
     to provide domestic job growth and ensure that the Nation is
     internationally competitive in the $5 trillion global energy
     industry for clean energy technology development and
     manufacturing.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 406, the gentleman
from Virginia (Mr. Connolly) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Virginia.
  Mr. CONNOLLY of Virginia. Mr. Chairman, Deutsche Bank, the biggest
bank in Europe, recently issued a report on global clean energy
investment opportunities in which it stated, ``Countries with more TLC,
transparency, longevity, and certainty, in their climate policy
frameworks will attract more investment and build new clean industries,
technologies, and jobs faster than their policy-lagging counterparts.''
  The TRAIN Act is one more step in the wrong direction by the same
Republican House which has held over 110 anti-environmental votes. This
unprecedented assault on the environment has devastating consequences
for our economy. As the Deutsche Bank report said, ``Germany and China
have emerged as global leaders in low carbon technologies and
investment. The net effect is that while Congress stumbles, the U.S.
stands to fall behind.''
  This investor report, from Europe's largest bank, identified several
policy failures that are impeding job growth here at home. First,
Congress has not established a carbon reduction target, or required
polluters to pay for the cost of greenhouse gas pollution. Congress
does not have a national renewable standard or even an energy efficient
standard. The Deutsche Bank report notes that the lack of these
regulations and incentives has actually forced investors to make
investments elsewhere, including in China and other countries, rather
than here at home in America. As a result, we have lost solar and other
advanced technology market share to our competitors.
  My simple amendment to the TRAIN Act establishes a simple process to
identify ``policies that should be adopted and implemented by the
United States to provide domestic job growth, and to ensure that our
Nation is internationally competitive in the $5 trillion global energy
industry for clean energy technology, development, and manufacturing.''
Business leaders have urged Congress to adopt both a regulatory
framework and a system of incentives to spur clean energy job creation.
In addition to the regulation the Deutsche Bank identified as
supporting investment, American entrepreneurs have called on Congress
to expand public financing for clean energy.
  This month members of the American Energy Innovation Council visited
Capitol Hill to express their strong support for just that concept.
This group included venture capitalist John Doerr, former Lockheed
Martin CEO Norm Augustine, and Bill Gates of Microsoft. The American
Energy Innovation Council recently issued a report which stated, ``As
business leaders, we feel that America's current energy system is
deficient in ways that cause serious harm to our economy, our national
security, and our environment.

[[Page H6429]]

To correct these deficiencies, we must make a serious commitment to
modernizing our energy system with cleaner and more efficient
technologies.''
  This Republican House is an anchor that's dragging down the American
economy. It's continued obsession with austerity and opposition to any
economic recovery programs, including clean energy, mean that America
falls behind while China surges ahead. We cannot afford to let China
and Germany dominate industries such as clean technology.
  My simple amendment will establish a process to start restoring
American leadership in this important sector for economic growth.
Rather than repealing commonsense public health standards, we ought to
be focused on measures like my amendment, which support high-tech job
growth.
  I ask my colleagues to vote for this amendment, and I reserve the
balance of my time.
  Mr. WHITFIELD. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Kentucky is recognized for 5
minutes.
  Mr. WHITFIELD. While I have great regard for the gentleman from
Virginia, I must rise to oppose this amendment.
  In his 2008 convention speech, Barack Obama promised to create 5
million green energy jobs. An article in The New York Times headlines,
``Where the Jobs Aren't,'' talks about all the government money that's
being spent to subsidize green energy today. They gave an example of
one government program that provided $300 million to a company. They
created 150 jobs at what turned out to be a cost of $2 million for
every job.

                              {time}  1040

  The reason that solar and wind are not taking off is they are too
expensive and too inefficient. Having said that, I recognize that they
have a part in our economy and that they have a part in producing
electricity, but they can never be the base load. That cannot be
attained. We cannot provide enough electricity without coal, nuclear,
and natural gas.
  Now, this amendment gives special attention to the green energy
field. I would remind everyone, once again, that renewable energy
subsidies increased over the last 3 years by 186 percent: from $5
billion to $14 billion. Renewables saw, by far, the largest increase in
Federal benefits. Wind alone received a tenfold increase in subsidies:
from $476 million to almost $5 billion. Solar increased by a factor of
6: from $179 million to $1.2 billion.
  Mr. CONNOLLY of Virginia. Will the gentleman yield for a question?
  Mr. WHITFIELD. Let me just finish this one sentence.
  So these strategies can't work without government support. I don't
object to government supporting them, but they do not need to get even
more special privileges from this amendment.
  I would be happy to yield to the gentleman.
  Mr. CONNOLLY of Virginia. I thank the gentleman for yielding.
  I would inquire as to what would be the comparable number for oil and
gas and coal in the United States. You talk about the growth trend; but
in absolute numbers, is it not true that actually the fossil fuels
industry gets $70 billion a year?
  Mr. WHITFIELD. The direct expenditure for coal was $42 million last
year, and for wind it was $3.556 billion.
  I will tell you that oil and gas and coal are willing to give up all
of their subsidies if green energy wants to give up their subsidies,
because they're getting a lot more than anyone else.
  At this point, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. CONNOLLY of Virginia. I would inquire of the Chair how much time
is left on this side.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Virginia has 1 minute remaining.
  Mr. CONNOLLY of Virginia. To conclude on this matter, I have enormous
respect for my colleague on the other side; but to oppose a simple
study to require that we look at the benefits of clean energy
technology, I find that very troubling. That resistance, sadly, is
going to impede American growth and competitiveness and is actually
going to cost us jobs.
  There is no question that in the coal industry, in particular, we've
kind of reached a plateau. In fact, in Kentucky, we've lost a lot of
jobs relative to, say, 30 years ago; whereas, as my colleague from
Massachusetts pointed out last night, in wind energy, just in the last
4 years, we're up to 80,000 jobs. It's a fast-growing, lucrative part
of our economy. It's clean, and it actually concretely helps create
jobs.
  That's a worthwhile thing to study if not to invest in, and I regret
the fact that the manager on the other side finds even a study
something to be resisted.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. WHITFIELD. Once again, I oppose the amendment.
  Green energy is getting every benefit possible from this
administration--money, studies, and in every other way. It will never
be able to meet the base load of our electricity needs. Therefore,
unless we can continue to have low-cost electricity, we're not going to
compete in the global marketplace, and we're going to continue to lose
jobs. The EPA is making direct attacks against an industry. For that
reason, I respectfully oppose the amendment.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Connolly).
  The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes
appeared to have it.
  Mr. CONNOLLY of Virginia. Mr. Chairman, I demand a recorded vote.
  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Virginia
will be postponed.


          Amendment No. 9 Offered by Ms. Jackson Lee of Texas

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 9
printed in House Report 112-213.
  Ms. JACKSON LEE of Texas. Mr. Chairman, I have an amendment at the
desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

         Page 11, line 10, strike ``90'' and insert ``120''.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 406, the gentlewoman
from Texas (Ms. Jackson Lee) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Texas.
  Ms. JACKSON LEE of Texas. I rise today to support my amendment. I
call my amendment ``Can We All Get Along?'' It is an amendment simply
to ask that all of those who are impacted by this proposed legislation
have an expanded time to be able to present their views.
  It is a ``can we all get along?''-type amendment because it is
important to note again that those of us who come from different
States, whether it's Illinois or Texas, recognize that the
Environmental Protection Agency and the Clean Air Act were formulated
under a bipartisan Congress and were signed, as my colleague reminded
us, by President Richard Nixon. Republicans and Democrats voted for the
Clean Air Act and for the Environmental Protection Agency's
jurisdiction.
  It's important to note that there is not only a value in what the EPA
does but that there are organizations, such as the American Lung
Association, the American Thoracic Society, the Physicians for Social
Responsibility, the American Public Health Association, and the Asthma
and Allergy Foundation of America, which need their input and are
concerned about this legislation.
  So my concern as we move forward on the transparency and regulatory
analysis of impact is how much time has been given for the public
comment. My State, in fact, has been impacted for the lack thereof of
public comment. I believe that there are civilians who are not
businesses who should be protected and given the opportunity to have
input.
  For example, it's important to note that the Mercury and Air Toxics
Standards rule, which I don't think my colleagues can in any way
dissuade me from believing, has been the basis of preventing 17,000
premature deaths, 11,000 heart attacks, 120,000 cases of aggravated
asthma, 12,000 hospital and emergency room visits, 11,000 cases of
bronchitis, and 850,000 missed days.
  The idea of putting a superlayer over the already existing regulatory

[[Page H6430]]

scheme, to me, sounds like we are adhering to the supercommittee
concept, which many of us, by way of absolute necessity, voted on
during the debt ceiling debate; but we realize that the responsibility
of the purse strings is in the United States House of Representatives.
Well, the law has given authority to the EPA and to the Clean Air Act
as its authorizing aspect to be able to control and balance.
  I believe we should create jobs; but the question becomes whether or
not the TRAIN Act, in the format of adding another layer of review,
actually does that--or does it create another level of bureaucracy that
we neither want nor need? At a time when these regulations will both
decrease health costs and can create thousands of jobs, why would my
colleagues propose a bill that would only slow job growth?
  It has been 260 days. I think we should, as I started out, get along,
try to create jobs, recognize the value of the EPA, find a way to be
able to resolve the present conflict on the Cross-State Air Pollution
Rule but not eliminate the authority and the oversight of the
Environmental Protection Agency.
  What I would say to my colleagues is that the EPA has protected all
of our constituents. Therefore, I think it's important to pass this
amendment because it's about constituents. It's about constituents no
matter what side of the aisle they're on. This is an amendment that
moves the public comment from 90 days to 120 days. There may have been
some who wanted to comment who cannot comment because they did not have
the amount of time.
  So I would ask my colleagues to support this ``can we all get
along?'' amendment.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. WHITFIELD. I claim time in opposition to the amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Kentucky is recognized for 5
minutes.
  Mr. WHITFIELD. First, I would like to say to the gentlelady from
Texas, who does such a great job on all of these issues, that we do not
intend in any way to remove any of the authority of the EPA to regulate
the Cross-State Transport Rules. As a matter of fact, of the 14 rules
that we're examining that EPA has issued, 12 of them we do not delay in
any way. On the Air Transport Rule, we simply go back to the original
Air Transport Rule of which EPA talked about all of the marvelous
benefits. The EPA defended it in court. The environmental groups
supported it: 67 and 53 percent reductions in SO<inf>2</inf> and
NO<inf>X</inf> emissions. That will remain in effect.
  As far as the gentlelady's amendment, we would be happy to accept it,
because I think it's a good amendment.
  I yield back the balance of my time.

                              {time}  1050

  Ms. JACKSON LEE of Texas. Let me indicate to the gentleman first of
all that I thank him for accepting the amendment, and I conclude my
remarks by saying that my asking for a roll call vote is not in any way
a reflection of my lack of acceptance, but I am just so gratified for
this timeframe that I hope that the gentleman will encourage those to
support the amendment.
  Therefore, let me say to the gentleman--I finish on this note--there
is some thought that we are putting in another regulatory scheme, but I
think the important point from my perspective is that there was value
when Richard Nixon signed the bill on how do we find a way to make this
work so that we save lives and we create jobs.
  I think my amendment provides the opportunity for that kind of input,
and I thank the gentleman.
  Mr. Chair, I rise today in support of my amendment #4 to H.R. 2401,
``The Transparency in Regulatory Analysis of Impacts on the Nation
Act,'' which extends the public comment period from 90 days to 120
days.
  The Transparency in Regulatory Analysis of Impacts on the Nation
(TRAIN) Act establishes a committee to conduct studies and review the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations based upon the
Mercury and Air Toxics Standard Rule (MATS) and the Cross State Air
Pollution (CSAP) Rule promulgated. This committee is composed of
Administration officials from different federal agencies and under H.R.
2401 will analyze the effect of the regulations on the economy, U.S.
competitiveness in the global market, employment, and energy production
and cost. In effect this is creating more regulations and more
bureaucracy at time when Republicans are calling for all of us to
tighten our belts. So now before us is a Super Committee for the Budget
and again we are going to have a Super Committee for Clean Air. We
already have an agency charged with protecting our air. The
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been up to the task for 40
years. According to the EPA, the pollution reductions required by the
rule they have proposed will yield health benefits of $120 to $280
billion per year, which is 150 to 350 times the cost. I have always
been a stalwart for a firm balance between the needs of the energy
industry and our environment. But then there is just plain common
sense. The TRAIN Act goes overboard. It is a extreme response that does
not add value to ensuring Clean Air.
  The argument proposed by some of my colleagues has been that this
will cost jobs. Implementing regulations will create jobs. Old power
plants and other utilities will have to hire workers in order to
fulfill the requirements of the regulation. The EPA has determined that
this will not be overly burdensome to the industry. We as a body must
ensure that the regulations issued by the EPA will not destroy any
industry but at the same token TRAIN is too extreme. It creates the
very bureaucracy that we neither need nor want. At a time when these
regulations will both decrease health costs and can create thousands of
jobs, why would my colleagues propose a bill that will only slow job
growth. It has been 260 days and the Republicans, who have been in the
majority, have not presented a clear and consistent job growth package.
Instead time and time again they have put forth measures to cut
Medicare and social security at a time when so many of our constituents
are dependent upon those resources to cover health costs and living
expenses.
  The TRAIN Act, which I could easily consider a bill like a steam
train and it steams right through the power of the EPA to regulate
clean air, requires that the committee publicly publish its initial
findings and then provide the public with 90 days to comment. If this
flawed bill is going to pass at least my amendment is an attempt to
take into account the number of interested parties who may wish to give
their input and extends the public comment period from 90 days to 120
days. I have offered this amendment to ensure that everyone who wishes
to comment will have ample opportunity to do so.
  My home state of Texas was not initially included in the Cross State
Air Pollution Rule. When my state was added, there was no time provided
for public input, a courtesy that was extended to the other 6 states
included in the Cross State Air Pollution Rule. Stakeholders throughout
Texas were afforded no opportunity to discuss the impact of including
Texas at the last minute. Had there been opportunity for public
comment, the EPA and stakeholders would have been able to work together
towards a consensus.
  The proposed regulations have different impacts on different
stakeholders, and it is extremely important that everyone's point of
view is considered. An open dialogue that encourages frank and
productive communication can foster compromise.
  As the Representative for Houston, the country's energy capital, I am
committed to creating an environment in which the energy industry and
regulating agencies can work together.
  For more than 40 years the EPA has been charged with protecting our
environment. There has been a consistent theme of chipping away at the
ability of the EPA to protect our air. We have to consider the long
term costs to public health if we fail to establish reasonable measures
for clean air.
  Outdoor air pollution is caused by small particles and ground level
ozone that comes from car exhaust, smoke, road dust and factory
emissions. Outdoor air quality is also affected by pollen from plants,
crops and weeds. Particle pollution can be high any time of year and
are higher near busy roads and where people burn wood.
  When we inhale outdoor pollutants and pollen this can aggravate our
lungs, and can lead us to developing the following conditions; chest
pain, coughing, digestive problems, dizziness, fever, lethargy,
sneezing, shortness of breath, throat irritation and watery eyes.
Outdoor air pollution and pollen may also worsen chronic respiratory
diseases, such as asthma. There are serious costs to our long term
health. The EPA has promulgated rules and the public should be allowed
to weigh in to determine if these rules are effective.
  The purpose of having so many checks and balances within the EPA is
to ensure that the needs of industries and the needs of our communities
are addressed. Providing a time for individuals to support or oppose
any regulations is a meaningful first step. This bill is a step in the
wrong direction.
  The EPA has spent years reviewing these standards before attempting
to issue regulations. In terms of the Mercury and Air Toxics

[[Page H6431]]

Standard (MATS) Rule the new standard will significantly reduce mercury
and toxic air pollution from power plants and electric utilities. The
EPA estimates that for every year this rule is not implemented, mercury
and toxic air pollution will have a serious impact on public health.
Think for a moment about the lives that can be saved. We are talking
about thousands of health complications and deaths. What more do we
need to know. According to the EPA this rule would prevent the
following: 17,000 premature deaths; 11,000 heart attacks; 120,000 cases
of aggravated asthma; 12,000 hospital and emergency room visits; 11,000
cases of bronchitis; and 850,000 missed work days.
  The second rule that is targeted by this bill is the Cross State Air
Pollution (CSAP) Rule. As a Representative from the State of Texas, I
have a few reservations about the rules implementation in my home
state; however, the rule can be more fairly implemented.
  This rule will significantly cut sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide
emissions released into the atmosphere. The regulation impacts 27
states where power plant emissions cause poor air quality that affects
neighboring states. It is important to know that the EPA designed this
rule again by keeping the lives of our families, our children, our
communities and the environment in mind. According to the EPA this rule
when implemented will prevent up to 34,000 premature deaths, 15,000
heart attacks, and 400,000 cases of aggravated asthmas.
  Sometimes we can get caught up in the numbers and forget the people
behind each. If these rules are allowed to be implemented there are
51,000 more people who will be able to spend another day, week, month
or year with their families. These are our friends and family members
who with the implantation of these rules can enjoy another cup of
coffee.
  The prolonged or indefinite delay of these life saving regulations
threaten the very air that Americans, our constituents, breathe. I
cannot speak for my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, but I
certainly do not want to repeal regulations that protect the 18th
Congressional District's access to clean air.
  The analysis required by this legislation is focused solely on the
impact of EPA regulations on economic competitiveness, fuel prices, and
employment without taking into consideration the public health benefits
of the regulations. The Mercury and Air Toxics Standard Rule will
significantly reduce mercury and toxic air pollution from power plants
and electric utilities.
  The Cross State Air Pollution Rule will significantly cut sulfur
dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions released into the atmosphere. The
regulation impacts 27 states where power plant emissions cause poor air
quality that affects neighboring states.
  My amendment will not affect the intent of the bill; it merely
ensures that should this ill conceived measure pass that there is
plenty of time given for our constituents who live in states affected
by mercury and toxic pollution and cross state air pollution to weigh
in on the public health aspects of these regulations.
  I have offered this amendment not only to benefit those who live in
states that would be affected by these regulations, but also to ensure
that the industry being regulated has ample time to provide their
input. Throughout my tenure in Congress, I have worked tirelessly to
foster better relationship between the energy industry and regulating
agencies. With an open dialogue and productive communication, we can
forge compromise that will protect the environment without harming
economic growth, and the intent behind this amendment is to do just
that.
  As the Representative of the 18th Congressional District of Houston,
Texas, I can attest to the importance of a healthy energy industry. My
district is the energy hub of Texas and is recognized worldwide for its
energy industry, particularly for oil and natural gas, as well as
biomedical research and aeronautics. Renewable energy sources--wind and
solar--are also growing economic bases in Houston.
  I understand the economic impacts of regulation, but we must also act
responsibly. We cannot ignore the public health risks associated with
breathing polluted air, nor can we pretend that these emissions do not
exacerbate global warming. Alternatively, we certainly do not want to
hinder job creation and economic growth.
  Lest we forget that since 1999, Houston has exchanged titles with Los
Angeles for the poorest air quality in the Nation. The poor air quality
is attributed to the amount of aerosols, particles of carbon and
sulfates in the air. The carcinogens found in the air have been known
to cause cancer, particularly in children. The EPA is the very agency
charged with issuing regulations that would address this serious
problem. This bill may very well jeopardize the air that we breathe,
the water that we drink, our public lands, and our public health by
deep funding cuts in priority initiatives.
  The least that can be done is to extend the opportunity for the
committee formed by this bill to hear the concerns of the public. I am
sure this will certainly go a long way to encourage robust discussion
on health, job creation and economic improvements without putting the
environment or the American people at risk.
  I encourage my colleagues to support the Jackson Lee amendment in
order to strike a balance between the EPA and the energy industry,
forge compromise that will protect the environment without harming
economic growth by extending the public comment period from 90 to 120
days. My amendment does not change the intent of the bill, it creates
the opportunity for communication and consensus.

                                               September 21, 2011.
       Dear Representative: On behalf of the undersigned public
     health and medical organizations, we write to state our
     strong opposition to any efforts under consideration by the
     U.S. House of Representatives that hinder the Environmental
     Protection Agency's (EPA's) ability to protect health through
     the implementation the Clean Air Act.
       Majority Leader Eric Cantor's August 29, 2011 memo to House
     Republicans specifically called for passage of bills
     including H.R. 2401, which would indefinitely delay the EPA's
     proposal to reduce mercury and other toxics from power plants
     and would block implementation of the Cross-State Air
     Pollution Rule, a finalized rule that is expected to prevent
     the premature deaths of thousands of Americans each year and
     to make it easier for states downwind of pollution sources to
     achieve healthful air for their residents. The memo also
     signals plans with H.R. 2250 and H.R. 2861, which would delay
     EPA efforts to reduce mercury and other toxics from
     industrial facilities and cement plants. Further, it signals
     plans to thwart EPA's ability to propose a health standard
     for particulate matter, calling for passage of HR 1633, a
     bill that would block the completion of the review of the
     health effects associated with deadly soot or particulate
     matter and prevent EPA from even proposing a standard and
     receiving public comment on that standard.
       We urge you to oppose this plan and ask that you, instead,
     support protecting public health. This Rep. Cantor-led effort
     would impact EPA's ability to implement the Clean Air Act: a
     law that protects public health and reduces health care costs
     for all by preventing thousands of adverse health outcomes,
     including: cancer, asthma attacks, strokes, emergency
     department visits, hospitalizations and premature deaths. A
     rigorous, peer reviewed analysis, The Benefits and Costs of
     the Clean Air Act from 1990 to 2020, conducted by EPA, found
     that the air quality improvements under the Clean Air Act
     will save $2 trillion by 2020 and prevent at least 230,000
     deaths annually.
       Additionally, the public supports EPA's efforts to
     implement and update the Clean Air Act. A recent bipartisan
     survey, which was conducted for the American Lung Association
     by the Republican firm Moore Information and Democratic
     polling firm Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research indicate that
     those pushing riders or otherwise interfering with EPA are
     out of touch with voters. The survey shows that over seventy
     percent of voters do not want Congress to stop the EPA from
     setting stricter pollution limits and sixty-six percent of
     voters would prefer that EPA set pollution standards, not
     Congress.
       We believe that in an ironic twist, the Majority Leader's
     memo lays out an agenda that will expose the public to levels
     of air pollution that can make them sick or kill them. This
     agenda will certainly drive up health costs for all as people
     continued to be exposed to life-threatening air pollution. We
     ask you to support full implementation of the Clean Air Act
     and oppose all efforts to weaken, delay or block progress
     toward the continued implementation of this vital law.
           Sincerely,
     American Lung Association.
     American Thoracic Society.
     Physicians for Social Responsibility.
     American Public Health Association.
      Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America.

     Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7412(i)).
       (4) Other provisions.--
       (A) Establishment of standards achievable in practice.--The
     regulations promulgated pursuant to paragraph (2)(A) of this
     section shall apply section 112(d)(3) of the Clean Air Act
     (42 U.S.C. 7412(d)(3)) in accordance with the following:
       (i) New sources.--With respect to new sources:

       (I) The Administrator shall identify the best controlled
     similar source for each source category or subcategory.
       (II) The best controlled similar source for a category or
     subcategory shall be the single source that is determined by
     the Administrator to be the best controlled, in the
     aggregate, for all of the hazardous air pollutants for which
     the Administrator intends to issue standards for such source
     category or subcategory, under actual operating conditions,
     taking into account the variability in actual source
     performance, source design, fuels, controls, ability to
     measure pollutant emissions, and operating conditions.

       (ii) Existing sources.--With respect to existing sources:

       (I) The Administrator shall identify one group of sources
     that constitutes the best performing 12 percent of existing
     sources for each source category or subcategory.
       (II) The group constituting the best performing 12 percent
     of existing sources for a category or subcategory shall be
     the single group that is determined by the Administrator to
     be the best performing, in the aggregate, for all of the
     hazardous air pollutants for which the Administrator intends
     to issue standards for such source category or subcategory,
     under actual operating conditions, taking into account the
     variability in actual source performance, source design,
     fuels, controls, ability to measure pollutant emissions, and
     operating conditions.

       (B) Regulatory alternatives.--For the regulations
     promulgated pursuant to paragraph (2) of this section, from
     among the range of regulatory alternatives authorized under
     the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.), including work
     practice standards under section 112(h) of such Act (42
     U.S.C. 7412(h)), the Administrator shall impose the least
     burdensome, consistent with the purposes of such Act and
     Executive Order 13563 published at 76 Fed. Reg. 3821 (January
     21, 2011).

  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Kentucky.
  Mr. WHITFIELD. Thank you.
  It's already been stated today that the TRAIN Act examines 14 EPA
regulations. On 12 of them, we do not delay in any way, but we do ask
for a study of the cumulative impact on jobs, on American
competitiveness, on the price of electricity and the reliability of
electricity.
  We do that because we are in a very fragile time in our economy. We
have high unemployment, we've been unable to get out of it; and in
order to do it, we have to have some certainty on these regulations.
Business people tell us they are not investing right now because of
uncertainty about health care, uncertainty about the new financial
regulations and uncertainty about the plethora of EPA regulations
coming down the road.
  So although we don't touch 12 regulations, the two that we are
concerned about--and the reason we're concerned about them--is that
they are the most expensive ever issued by EPA. Independent analysts
have indicated that there will be a net, after including job gains, a
net loss of almost 1.4 million jobs.
  My amendment would do this: it would provide that the Cross-State Air
Pollution Rule has no legal force or effect, and it does direct EPA to
continue to apply the Clean Air Interstate Rule, which is in effect
today.
  As I had indicated earlier, EPA, when they adopted CAIR, they talked
about the billions of dollars in health benefits, 17,000 premature
deaths that they would prevent, 22,000 nonfatal heart attacks that they
would prevent; and I could go on and on and on. And EPA defended the
CAIR Act in court. The environmental groups supported the CAIR Act.
  Our air transport rules and regulations are still going to be in
effect; and we simply say that for at least 3 years, EPA cannot change
the CAIR Act, but during that time do a more detailed analysis of the
Cross-State Air Pollution Rule because of the enormous cost, the
enormous impact on jobs and so forth.
  The amendment also requires that the proposed Utility Maximum
Achievable Control Technology rule has no legal force in effect and
that any subsequent Utility MACT rule be issued no sooner than 1 year
after the study called for in the TRAIN Act. So we simply ask the EPA
to repropose the utility rule.
  Now, people are saying, oh my gosh, if we don't have this utility
rule in effect, mercury is going to do all of these horrible things.
  I would remind everyone once again EPA says that 99 percent of the
mercury in America comes from nature and from trade winds coming in
from other countries. And EPA itself said Utility MACT benefits by
mercury reductions of that whole bill would be .004 percent.
  I would also say that utility companies have no problem with mercury.
They're doing a good job on that, and they can do even better. But the
two gases that they are asking them to regulate have never been
regulated before--I had the name of them awhile ago and I can't
remember them--but the technology is not available to meet the
requirements of the Utility MACT. So you are asking these companies to
spend this money, provide this uncertainty, and so that's what my
amendment does. It basically delays the implementation of the Utility
MACT, asks for a reproposal, and it also maintains the existing CAIR
air transport rule.
  With that, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. WAXMAN. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from California is recognized for 5
minutes.
  Mr. WAXMAN. I rise in strong opposition to this Whitfield amendment,
Mr. Chairman.
  The amendment is objectionable from the standpoint of public health
and the legislative process. Throughout the debate on this bill, Mr.
Whitfield has claimed that his bill just requires a study and delays
two rules for further analysis.
  Well, the indefinite delay of these two rules is terrible for public
health, but this amendment would be a disaster because this amendment
nullifies these two critical EPA rules to cut air pollution from old,
dirty power plants by requiring them to install modern pollution
technology.
  First, the EPA amendment abolishes EPA mercury air toxics proposal by
requiring EPA to start scratch on a rule that's long overdue. There are
two rules at stake. The EPA mercury air toxic rule, which was opposed
by EPA, would prevent 17,000 deaths, 11,000 heart attacks, 120,000
cases of aggravated asthma, and 850,000 lost workdays each year. Now,
that doesn't even include the benefits that are harder to put a dollar
figure on such as reducing toxic air pollution that can lead to birth
defects and developmental delays.
  The EPA rule would also prevent 91 percent of the mercury in burned
coal from being emitted into the air. Mercury is dangerous in tiny
amounts. It's a powerful neurotoxin that can damage the developing
brain, leading to learning disabilities and developmental delays in
children.
  We heard about the delay in letting this rule go forward that was in
the bill, but this amendment negates these benefits and ensures that
power plants will not have to reduce their emissions of toxic air
pollution, including mercury, for at least 7 years.
  The amendment also tosses aside the way EPA has long been setting
these emission limits for toxic air pollution for two decades, and it
replaces it within an entirely new approach for power plants that is
completely unworkable. It guarantees years of litigation and, according
to the EPA administrator, may well prevent EPA from ever requiring
power plants to clean up their mercury pollution.
  So this isn't just a delay, as we were told, for further study. It
may well lead to no rule ever being put in place to stop these mercury
emissions that cause such terrible public health disasters. The
Whitfield amendment also nullifies the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule,
which is designed to reduce emissions from power plants that cause
ozone and particulate matter violations in downwind States.

                              {time}  1100

  Well, this rule has tremendous health benefits. The EPA cross-state
rule will prevent 34,000 deaths, 15,000 heart attacks, 400,000 cases of
aggravated asthma, and 1.8 million lost days of work each year.
  The Whitfield amendment negates these benefits and ensures that power
plants will not have to reduce their pollution for at least 8 years.
But this new rule may ensure that it will never happen. The EPA
administrator testified that the language in the amendment barring
reliance on modeling likely will block EPA from ever issuing another
cross-state pollution rule to address ozone and particulate problems in
downwind States.
  These are two radical proposals, and they're coming to the floor
without a single day of hearings in the Energy and Commerce Committee.
The amendment's sponsor, Mr. Whitfield, is the chairman of the relevant
subcommittee. But he didn't ask for a single day of testimony or debate
on these proposals. Instead he took a bill that asked for a lot more
analysis before rules go into effect, and then just dropped this
amendment on that bill because it was a moving train. He didn't insist
that the TRAIN Act was requiring a study. He insisted it was only going
to do a study, and now it is preventing them from implementing
anything.
  Today we have 10 minutes of debate whether this body should eliminate
two critical EPA rules that prevent premature death, asthma attacks,
and other respiratory diseases and fundamentally alter the Clean Air
Act. I find that inexcusable, both on the substance and the process.
  I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on this amendment, and I reserve
the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The time of the gentleman has expired.
  The gentleman from Kentucky has 30 seconds remaining.

[[Page H6434]]

  Mr. WHITFIELD. I would just say that the two gases I was trying to
think of are hydrogen chloride and hydrogen fluoride. Those are the
real problems in this Utility MACT: the lack of technology, the
unachievability of the standards, and that's why this amendment is
asking that the implementation be delayed for 3 years of this air
transport rule.
  With that, I urge Members to support my amendment, and I yield back
the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Whitfield).
  The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes
appeared to have it.
  Mr. WAXMAN. Mr. Chairman, I demand a recorded vote.
  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Kentucky
will be postponed.


                 Amendment No. 11 Offered by Mr. Latta

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 11
printed in House Report 112-213.
  Mr. LATTA. Mr. Chairman, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       After section 5, insert the following new section (and
     redesignate the subsequent section accordingly):

     SEC. 6. CONSIDERATION OF FEASIBILITY AND COST IN ESTABLISHING
                   NATIONAL AMBIENT AIR QUALITY STANDARDS.

       In establishing any national primary or secondary ambient
     air quality standard under section 109 of the Clean Air Act
     (42 U.S.C. 7409), the Administrator of the Environmental
     Protection Agency shall take into consideration feasibility
     and cost.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 406, the gentleman
from Ohio (Mr. Latta) and a Member opposed each will control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Ohio.
  Mr. LATTA. Mr. Chairman, I rise today to urge my colleagues to
support my amendment to H.R. 2401. This amendment should be one of the
most noncontroversial EPA-related votes this House has faced in quite
awhile because it doesn't repeal any EPA rules or regulations and it
doesn't block the EPA from doing anything. It simply requires the EPA
administrator to consider the implementation costs and feasibility of
compliance when setting National Ambient Air Quality Standards. We all
want clean air.
  The Clean Air Act required the EPA to review these standards in 5-
year intervals and make revisions or set new standards if appropriate.
Under current law, the EPA administrator is forbidden from taking the
economic consequences of these rules under consideration when setting
these standards, which means every 5 years the EPA is required to
create new regulations, but does not have the legal authority to
consider how they will affect the economy.
  This approach to regulation is a contributing factor to why
unemployment numbers refuse to budge in many parts of our country and
we have millions of Americans still looking for jobs. Last year the EPA
decided to voluntarily review the National Ambient Air Quality
Standards for ozone despite being a full 3 years away from review of
the Clean Air Act's requirements in 2013.
  The standards they discussed would have had a devastating effect on
my home State of Ohio, putting every one of the 33 counties monitored
into a state of nonattainment status, as well as over 85 percent of the
other counties monitored nationwide. States and localities not in
attainment are required to meet expensive and complex regulatory
requirements, more stringent permitting requirements, and comply with a
number of other antigrowth measures.
  Fortunately, President Obama realized the urgency of this situation
and asked the EPA not to propose a more stringent standard. Perhaps if
the EPA administrator had considered the cost and feasibility of the
tighter standard, we would have avoided the situation entirely. Now
with this amendment we have the opportunity to make sure it doesn't
happen in the future.
  I sent the President a letter commending his decision and requesting
his support of the amendment in helping to get it passed both here in
the House and in the Senate. Now I'm requesting your support.
  This is not a Republican idea or a Democrat idea. Considering the
economy and the well-being of the unemployed Americans who are looking
for jobs, it is the right thing to do.
  I urge support of the amendment, and I reserve the balance of my
time.
  Mr. WAXMAN. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to this amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR (Mr. Woodall). The gentleman from California is
recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. WAXMAN. Mr. Chairman, I rise not just in opposition, but strong
opposition to this amendment. The bill as reported by the Energy and
Commerce Committee is a bad bill for air quality and public health, but
this bill appears doomed to get even worse as we continue to amend it
on the floor.
  If the Latta amendment were adopted, it would eviscerate a
cornerstone of the Clean Air Act without a single committee hearing to
discuss the implications of this action, and that's nothing short of
reckless policymaking.
  The Clean Air Act requires EPA to set National Ambient Air Quality
Standards based on the science of how air pollution affects health and
the environment. EPA scientists and an independent scientific advisory
committee then recommend health-based standards. That is peer-reviewed,
and they look at the impact of air pollution on health overall, and
then on sensitive groups, such as children and the elderly, because we
don't want a society where the sensitive people like the children and
the elderly can't live with the rest of us.
  These national air quality standards essentially identify the level
of ambient air pollution that's safe for people to breathe. With these
health-based standards as the goalposts, States develop plans to
control pollution and meet these goals. Cost is front and center in
this planning. States can identify which pollution-control measures are
most cost effective and rule out measures that produce more costs than
benefits.
  The Latta amendment turns this whole approach upside down. The
amendment would require EPA to consider industry cost up front when
determining what level of air pollution is safe for human health.
That's like a doctor basing your diagnosis on the cost of the
treatment. If the treatment is expensive, the doctor would tell you
that you're healthy. For a doctor, that would be malpractice. It's no
different here.
  The Latta amendment would allow polluters to override scientists and
require EPA to set air quality standards based on profits rather than
the public health. The scientific determination of what is safe to
breathe doesn't depend on the cost of cleaning up the pollution.
  My Republican colleagues throughout the debate on this bill have been
happy to come to the floor and talk about the tremendous progress in
reducing air pollution in this country. That's true, but it doesn't
mean we no longer have a need for the tools that got us here and that
job is already done. We've made progress because Congress enacted a
strong and effective Clean Air Act. If we weaken the law, air quality
will suffer. And anyone who thinks that the air is clean enough isn't
thinking about the kids who can't play outside on a summer day without
risking a potentially life-threatening asthma attack.
  For 40 years--and we are celebrating the 40th anniversary of the
Clean Air Act--the essential basis of the law was to set health-based
standards as our goals.

                              {time}  1110

  Despite the progress we've made, that job isn't done on air
pollution. The Latta amendment, if it becomes law, would reverse
decades of progress in cleaning up the smog and soot pollution that
triggers asthma attacks, heart attacks, other respiratory diseases, and
the mercury pollution that causes brain damage and learning
disabilities in children.
  It is preposterous that we have only 10 minutes to debate this
fundamental change to the Clean Air Act that would upend 40 years of
progress.
  I urge my colleagues to vote this amendment down based on its impact

[[Page H6435]]

on public health as well as the mockery it makes of the legislative
process.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. LATTA. I yield the balance of my time to the gentleman from
California (Mr. Denham).
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from California is recognized for
2\1/2\ minutes.
  Mr. DENHAM. Mr. Chairman, I rise on this amendment and in support of
the underlying TRAIN Act.
  The TRAIN Act is a bipartisan plan to analyze cumulative economic
impacts of EPA's regulations to better understand how these policies
affect American manufacturing, energy prices, and private industry's
ability to create jobs.
  The question that Americans want to know is: Why are our jobs
leaving? Why aren't we making things? This bill will help us to define
that.
  Here today in support of the TRAIN Act are Jennifer Fraser and Jeff
Rose from Vantage Data Centers, a NextGen data center and a small
business from my State of California that has become an industry leader
in performance efficiency and environmental stewardship. Since its
inception in 2010, Vantage has sought to minimize electricity
consumption at their data centers, as electricity is far and away their
greatest cost.
  The price of electricity has caused many companies in their industry
to flee to other countries with a more welcoming business climate and
cheaper electricity prices. Despite this existing competitive
disadvantage for the United States, the EPA proposes new Utility MACT
standards that will raise electricity prices and will have an adverse
effect on even an environmentally friendly data center like Vantage and
force more jobs overseas.
  The EPA has proposed regulation after regulation that would stifle
job creation, hurt American economic competitiveness abroad, and
increase energy prices on families already strained by the tough
economy. The House Republican jobs agenda focuses on removing these
barriers to job creation and includes necessary reforms like the TRAIN
Act.
  The support of job creators like the National Association of
Manufacturers, the Association of Builders and Contractors, the U.S.
Chamber of Commerce, and Small Business Entrepreneurship Council
further proves the need for the TRAIN Act to ensure that the
administration does not continue to hamper the economic recovery and
job creation of private industry.


                    Announcement by the Acting Chair

  The Acting CHAIR. The Chair would remind all Members not to refer to
occupants of the gallery.
  Mr. WAXMAN. May I inquire how much time is left on each side?
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from California has 1 minute
remaining. The gentleman from Ohio has 30 seconds remaining.
  Mr. WAXMAN. I urge my colleagues to vote against this Latta
amendment. This is a radical, extreme amendment that reverses the Clean
Air Act which was signed by President Nixon, has been enforced by
Democratic and Republican administrations, voted almost unanimously on
a bipartisan basis in the House and the Senate, and it would strip away
the goalposts of achieving health-based standards.
  I think to have only 10 minutes to debate on this extreme proposal is
an affront to the legislative process. I urge my colleagues to vote
``no.''
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. LATTA. Mr. Chairman, I urge passage of this amendment.
  When we were all back in our districts in August, I went to 18
different plants and facilities in my district, and the number one
issue out there against creating jobs was EPA regulations. EPA. That's
all I heard. EPA, EPA, EPA.
  We're not going to move this country forward unless we get these
regulations under control, and it's about time that they start looking
at what they have to do under this amendment to make sure that we've
got things back on course. I mentioned this yesterday in committee that
we've lost 180,000 manufacturing jobs alone, in the Energy and Commerce
Committee, since earlier this year. We've got to get this economy
moving.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Latta).
  The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes
appeared to have it.
  Mr. LATTA. Mr. Chairman, I demand a recorded vote.
  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Ohio will be
postponed.


               Amendment No. 12 Offered by Ms. Richardson

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 12
printed in House Report 112-213.
  Ms. RICHARDSON. I have an amendment at the desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Page 13, line 16, strike ``(a) Authorization.--''.
       Beginning on page 13, line 23, strike subsection (b) of
     section 6.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 406, the gentlewoman
from California (Ms. Richardson) and a Member opposed each will control
5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from California.
  Ms. RICHARDSON. Mr. Chairman, my amendment is intended to strike the
provision that reduces the amount of funding to implement the Diesel
Emissions Reduction program.
  Five years ago, Congress passed the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act as
a part of the Energy Policy Act of 2005. The program was authorized at
$200 million per year for 5 years. In 2011, the Congress acted
responsibly, and in light of our fiscal crisis situation, we reduced
that amount by a hundred million per year.
  This amendment brings into question whether it makes sense to reduce
a proven successful program that is not increasing regulations, as my
former colleague just mentioned, but in fact is helping companies to be
able to meet those regulations in a cost-effective way.
  DERA has helped fund more than 360 retrofit projects to date, which
has reduced well over 1.6 million tons of emissions and provided more
than $4 billion in public health benefits while employing thousands of
workers who manufacture, sell, and repair diesel vehicles and their
components in each of our States.
  Recognizing today's budgetary challenges, industry, environmental,
and public sector representatives support the return of full-year 2008
funding levels for DERA, or $50 million for 2012.
  The United States relies upon diesel power to transport commuters,
tourists, and students, harvest our crops, build infrastructure, and
move our freight. New clean diesel technology is reaching near zero
emissions but fleet turnover will take us many more years to come.
Emissions from older diesel vehicles and equipment can be reduced, and
we can help to make that happen.
  Some of our program results have been 119 projects affecting more
than 14,000 diesel-powered vehicles and equipment, new State clean
diesel grant programs in over 50 States, 2,200 tons of particulate
matter emissions reduced, 580 million benefits to health, and--this is
a very important one--3.2 million gallons of fuel that has been saved
per year by implementing this program.
  This is why in the last Congress I introduced legislation that
extended DERA for 5 more years. The legislation received bipartisan
support on both sides of the aisle and was signed by the President.
  In February during debate on H.R. 1, there was an amendment put
forward by a Representative on the other side of the aisle that would
have eliminated full funding for DERA. The amendment in the continuing
resolution at that time was soundly defeated by both of us, both sides
of the aisle, 352 Members. In fact, the chairman of the Interior,
Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Subcommittee, Mr.
Simpson, called the cuts to DERA--and I'm talking about my colleague
from the other side--the wrong choice. I'm here to present that this
cut is still the wrong choice.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. TERRY. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to this amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Nebraska is recognized for 5
minutes.

[[Page H6436]]

  Mr. TERRY. I believe that the gentlelady from California's amendment
is heartfelt and sincere to the DERA program but irresponsible as it's
produced here today. There are costs associated with the EPA going
forward with the studies that we are requesting of them.
  Under our rules of the House, there's PAYGO rules. We must offset
those costs. This is one of those tough decisions made to offset the
costs. So the first line of irresponsibility would be it will add to
the deficit but for this offset.

                              {time}  1120

  The second line of irresponsibility would be, well, it may feel
responsible. And this really is a poison pill because if the offset is
eliminated, they get to kill the whole bill because of that. So it's
not as innocent an amendment as it is portrayed on the surface. The
real issue of this bill in entirety must stand.
  As previous speakers have said, Mr. Chairman, and rightfully so, the
EPA is a rogue agency. They are producing rules in a fast and furious
manner that greatly affects this Nation's ability to generate
electricity. This bill just wraps three of them together and says, take
a step back and do a cost analysis, as the President has asked of
agencies. This agency, though, as headed by Ms. Jackson, has said to us
in our committee that she will not be beholding or follow the
President's own executive order to look at the cost benefit analysis.
They say, as we have heard here today, their modeling says that they
can reduce asthma so, therefore, no cost benefit analysis.
  But there are real effects that I'm concerned with here, and the
reason why I do believe this needs to be studied before implemented is
we need to slow down the EPA and Lisa Jackson and their attempts to do
a cap program without Congress' involvement or approval. They couldn't
get it done legislatively, so she's doing it by rule and edict from the
EPA.
  This rule will add significant costs to the ability of small
generators to generate electricity, which will force them to shut down
without any path forward to replace that. In fact, they haven't even
done a study on reliability to determine if electricity can be wheeled
into the areas that the plants will have to shut down.
  In fact, there are two plants near my district in Nebraska: Grand
Island and Fremont. Grand Island is saying that these rules of the EPA
are fast and furious and without any cost benefit analysis will force
the Grand Island plant to close. How will they get their electricity?
They will have to find a creative way to do it; yet there's been no
study on reliability. Secondly, in Fremont, Nebraska, they say what
they'll do is just lower their plant level, just do a minimum amount of
electricity. Where are they going to make that up?
  This is a directive. This is part of the radical environmentalist
agenda being placed on America by one agency and one person, Lisa
Jackson. We need to slow this down and take a hard look at it.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. RICHARDSON. Mr. Chairman, I find it interesting that the
gentleman would say that this might be irresponsible. What I heard of
the comments was I didn't talk about the legislation within itself.
We're talking about the amendment of how this is going to be paid for.
And so the question before the House is going to be, is it appropriate
to take additional funds to use DERA as the whipping boy time and time
again for a program that is helping what my colleague from the other
side is saying?
  I would actually say that DERA is responsible. What's irresponsible
is continuing to put the health of Americans in jeopardy. I will repeat
the quote for my colleagues from the chairman of the Interior,
Environment and Related Agencies, Mr. Simpson. He called the cuts to
DERA ``the wrong choice.'' We have already been responsible, and DERA
has already paid its fair share, and it's being cut as other programs
have been cut. The question is, is it right to continue to deplete this
program?
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. TERRY. Mr. Chairman, I think it's interesting that she didn't
refute the point that if the PAYGO is eliminated, hers passes, they
raise a point of order and kill the bill, which is the real impetus
behind this amendment.
  Ms. RICHARDSON. Will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. TERRY. No.
  I think it's also interesting--you have the right to close--that the
President's budget, for which there was no pushback by this other side
of the aisle, zeroed it out. Ours didn't. We're just cutting it by $4
million, and it's a tough choice. We agree.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  Ms. RICHARDSON. Mr. Chairman, in closing, I would say, I think I've
said twice now, the issue that we have before us is the question of
this amendment whether DERA is the appropriate funding source that
would be considered for the offset. That's the question that we have
before us.
  It's interesting that Mr. Whitfield himself has benefited from this
program. In Kentucky, the construction ports utilized $1.16 million to
retrofit 73 pieces of nonroad construction equipment. Also, the
Kentucky Association General Contractors benefited from retrofitting 87
pieces of equipment. I would say to you it's irresponsible to have the
American public driving on our highways and roads and going through our
airports breathing this air.
  What I've reached out to the other side is that it's important. We're
talking about EPA regulations. Why would we reduce funding of a program
that helps companies to meet the regulations? It's counterintuitive and
it doesn't make sense.
  I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' for the Richardson amendment;
and the Richardson amendment is intended for exactly that, to eliminate
cutting this program.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentlewoman from California (Ms. Richardson).
  The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes
appeared to have it.
  Ms. RICHARDSON. Mr. Chairman, I demand a recorded vote.

  Ms. McCOLLUM. Mr. Speaker, I have a motion to recommit at the desk.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentlewoman opposed to the bill?
  Ms. McCOLLUM. I am opposed to the bill in its current form, Mr.
Speaker.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to
recommit.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       Ms. McCollum moves to recommit the bill H.R. 2401 to the
     Committee on Energy and Commerce with instructions to report
     the same back to the House forthwith with the following
     amendment:
       At the end of the bill, add the following new section:

     SEC. 7. PROTECTING GREAT LAKES DRINKING WATER FROM TOXIC
                   SUBSTANCES.

       The Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency
     shall plan and implement a strategy, consistent with the
     Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, using existing authority
     as of the date of enactment of this Act, to control air
     pollution to be deposited in the Great Lakes, including toxic
     pollution, in order to ensure safe drinking water and
     protection of public health and the environment.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from Minnesota is recognized
for 5 minutes.
  Ms. McCOLLUM. Mr. Speaker, let me be clear, this amendment does not
kill the bill or send it back to committee.

[[Page H6445]]

If this amendment is adopted, the bill will immediately be voted on for
final passage.
  This amendment is about protecting the Great Lakes, one of America's
greatest treasures and important natural resources. For those of us who
represent these States adjacent to the Great Lakes, we know and
understand that any harm done to our lakes threatens the economy and
the health of our citizens.
  Lake Superior, Lake Huron, Lake Michigan, Lake Erie, and Lake Ontario
make up the largest freshwater system in the entire world. Our Great
Lakes hold 95 percent of America's freshwater and 20 percent of the
freshwater on the planet.
  Over 30 million people rely on the Great Lakes for their drinking
water. There is an estimated 1.5 million jobs that are directly
connected to the Great Lakes, and these jobs generate $62 billion in
wages.
  Over 40 years ago, this critical ecosystem and economic engine was on
the verge of collapse. Time magazine reported in August 1969: ``Lake
Erie is in danger of dying by suffocation.'' The days when polluters
dumped toxic chemicals into the air and water without consequence are
over.
  Because of the responsible cleanup policies like the Clean Air Act,
the health of the Great Lakes has improved, but threats to the Great
Lakes have not disappeared. Air pollutants like mercury are emitted
from power plants and continue to fall on the ground, wash into the
water, and build up in quantities that threaten the brain development
of young children and place limits on the amount of fish that we can
consume.
  Rising mercury levels is one of the mounting threats that motivated
an unprecedented coalition into action. Governors of the eight Great
Lakes States, Republicans and Democrats, along with local officials and
leaders from tribal nations, nonprofits and the private sector came
together to save the Great Lakes.
  Early last decade, they created a plan for environmental restoration
and economic recovery of the Great Lakes. In 2004, President Bush
responded to this bipartisan effort by issuing an executive order that
called the Great Lakes ``a national treasure,'' and he directed his
Cabinet to establish an interagency task force to report these State
and local efforts.
  Now, Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin and Governor Mark Dayton of
Minnesota never agree about politics, and they certainly don't agree on
football, but as members of the Council of Great Lakes Governors, they
agree on the need to reduce air and water pollution in the Great Lakes.
Years of planning and partnership in the Great Lakes region and in
Washington are now making a difference on the ground through the Great
Lakes Restoration Initiative.

                              {time}  1250

  The initiative is protecting drinking water, it's restoring fish and
wildlife habitat, and it's supporting the growth of small businesses
that depend on healthy waters. The work under way is 300 projects
across this region.
  Now, my role as a legislator from the Great Lakes region is to do no
harm to this effort. The TRAIN Act will make the enforcement of many of
the environmental protections uncertain, and it will create confusion
in the EPA about which public health efforts they can pursue.
  And my amendment does not give the EPA any new authority. Instead, it
directs the EPA to use its existing authority to do what Republican and
Democratic Governors, mayors, State legislators and other elected
officials in the Great Lakes have agreed upon must be done: protect
drinking water and protect public health.
  Our job in Congress is to protect the Great Lakes, not to undo the
hard work of all these Governors and, yes, industry leaders. My
amendment makes it clear that the TRAIN Act will not prohibit this work
from moving forward.
  Let me be clear, my amendment does not kill the bill or send it back
to committee. If this amendment is adopted, it will immediately be
voted on on final passage.
  Regardless of your position on the TRAIN Act, this amendment makes
the bill stronger. Regardless of how you feel about the TRAIN Act, I'm
sure you agree Congress should protect the safety of drinking water and
continue to ensure the viability of the economic interests of the Great
Lakes.
  Again, let me be clear. This amendment does not kill the bill. It
does not send it back to committee. If this amendment is adopted, it
will immediately be voted on for final passage.
  Colleagues, let us work together, let us pass this amendment, and let
us restore the Great Lakes. Let us protect America's public health.
  Mr. WHITFIELD. Mr. Speaker, I claim the time in opposition to the
motion.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Kentucky is recognized
for 5 minutes.
  Mr. WHITFIELD. I would say to the gentlelady that not only are we
concerned about the Great Lakes, but we're concerned about every body
of water in America, and we believe that the TRAIN Act protects that
water, does not take away any authority from the EPA to deal with water
issues.
  The TRAIN Act is very simple. It asks the government commission to
study 14 regulations of EPA. On 12 of them we do not delay them in any
way. On the other two, we delay one for 1 year and the other for 3
years.
  We have adequate protections in place. We simply think that we should
examine the cumulative impact of the regulations from the most
aggressive EPA in recent memory to determine what impact it is going to
have on jobs; what impact it is going to have on electricity prices;
what impact it is going to have on electricity reliability, and will it
damage America's competitiveness in the world marketplace.
  I would urge passage of this legislation.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the previous question is
ordered on the motion to recommit.
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion to recommit.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that
the noes appeared to have it.
  Ms. McCOLLUM. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
  The yeas and nays were ordered.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, the Chair
will reduce to 5 minutes the minimum time for any electronic vote on
the question of passage.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 180,
nays 233, not voting 20, as follows:

  So the bill was passed.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
  Stated for:
  Mr. SMITH of Texas. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 741 I inadvertently
missed the final passage of H.R. 2401, the ``Transparency in Regulatory
Analysis of Impacts on the Nation'' (TRAIN Act) on Friday, September
23. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yes.''
