The current royalty rate was set by a 2006 law championed by my predecessor, Senator Craig Thomas.
The bill extends the existing royalty rate on soda ash. The current royalty rate has helped American soda ash producers compete with China.
It is important for Congress to have an opportunity to review this study before the royalties are changed.
We greatly appreciate your consideration of this important matter to the U.S. soda ash industry and look forward to your response.
