How much time is left? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from California has 12\1/2\ minutes remaining.

May I inquire as to how much time I have remaining? The Acting CHAIR (Mrs. Miller of Michigan). The gentlewoman from California has 18 minutes remaining, and the gentleman from Washington has 16\1/2\ minutes remaining.

I am. I thank the gentleman. Madam Chair, as I've said before, this is a good bill with one bad provision in it, and that is the NEPA waiver that is not needed. It is not good environmental policy, and it is not good energy policy. NEPA is…
