“The FAST Act is absolutely critical to America and our economy. I think everybody speaking here today laid out the many provisions. It is important to America. I would encourage my colleagues to all support this bipartisan, bicameral agreement. And I believe it will have strong support today. Mr. Speaker, I urge everybody to vote for this bill. It is good for America. Joint Explanatory Statement of the Committee on Conference H.R. 22, Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act Title XLIII of the Joint Explanatory Statement provides a summary of section 43001 concerning requirements in agency rulemakings pursuant to this Act. Section 43001 of the House amendments to H.R. 22 was not agreed to in conference and does not appear in the conference report to accompany H.R. 22. The summary of section 43001 in the Joint Explanatory statement therefore appears in error. Accordingly, title XLIII of the Joint Explanatory Statement has no effect.”
