The Public Record
Thank you, Chair Tiffany. Unfortunately, Ranking Member Neguse cannot stay for today's hearing, so I will fill in for him this afternoon.
These investments support natural infrastructure, reduce wildfire risk, restore healthy ecosystems, and build safe, resilient communities.
It is also critical that Congress and the American people receive accurate, transparent, and accessible data about how projects are being planned and implemented.
How many per year re-initiate consultations on their plan, and what is the main reason that they do so?
I just wanted to add how heartened I was to hear some of my colleagues' statements around building more consensus.
I can't tell you how many toxic tours I have been on, and how many town halls I have gone to, where I have seen little girls under the age of 10 with metal stents in their chest because they have lived next to a Superfund site.
Currently, when the government wants to greenlight a project, it is NEPA that guarantees that the public is informed, and that they have a say in what goes into their communities.
Section 202 of the legislation would codify the Trump administration's disastrous NEPA regulations.
I think these regulations and some of our past regulations have already resulted in sacrifice zones like those in Cancer Alley in Louisiana.
