I introduced earlier this Congress H.R. 2791, the Health and Human Services Hiree Clarification Act, which codifies this committee's clear intent that Title 42 is only to be used by officials at HHS--not EPA, not Department of Labor, and not the Park Service.
Pitts discusses legislation to restrict hiring authority to HHS only.

It seems illogical that the USDA would be given the exclusive authority to oversee and regulate catfish only while the FDA regulates all other seafood.
Because of the Affordable Care Act, now over 20 million people in this country who were in that situation literally overnight are no longer in that situation.
The jurisdictional grab serves only to shield catfish farmers against competition at the expense of U.S. consumers.
Both the FDA and the General Accountability Office agree that there is no food safety justification for this regulatory divide.
