On the recordMarch 16, 1995
Reauthorization, if there are no additional new mandates imposed as a result of a reauthorization of an existing program, it would have no effect at all. It is only where there would be an additional or added mandate that would exceed the threshold limit that this thing would kick in. So in terms of existing regulations and existing mandates within the Clean Water Act, for example, which is one we would be considering presumably this year, it would have no effect.
