The bill extends the existing royalty rate on soda ash. The current royalty rate has helped American soda ash producers compete with China.
We greatly appreciate your consideration of this important matter to the U.S. soda ash industry and look forward to your response.
The current royalty rate was set by a 2006 law championed by my predecessor, Senator Craig Thomas.
I believe we can all agree that some of the task force recommendations are common sense and should be implemented soon.
