Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time. Ms. McCOLLUM. Mr. Chairman, I would like to once again reiterate there are only nine allowable exemptions under this law that would prevent the EPA from complying with FOIA requests. These exemptions range from classified national defense, foreign relations information, confidential business information, and matters of personal privacy. Once again, Mr. Chair, I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment, which simply works to put roadblocks in front of the EPA ever being able to issue a regulation. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Smith). The amendment was agreed to. Amendment Offered by Ms. Speier
