1. Opposition to DOI/USDA policies that seek to unilaterally change -- through administrative fiat -- the designation/multiple use of millions of acres of Western lands (through land withdrawals, roadless policies, climate adaptation policies, critical habitat designations, and other restrictive regulations). Activities include ongoing support for various reform initiatives, including: H.R. 1581, H.R. 4716, H.R. 302, H.R. 758, H.R. 817, H.R. 846, H.R. 3147, H.R. 4965, S. 224, S. 1097 and related amendments to other 1. (cont). bills designed to constrain federal agencies from engaging in such activities. 2. Ongoing support for the Government Litigation Act (H.R. 1996 / S. 1061) and related efforts to institute common sense legal reform. 3. Stressing the implications of the proposed Executive Branch requirements (NEPA, GHG, CAA, CWA, climate adaptation, federal land management policies, ESA listings, etc.) that hamper energy and natural resource development projects across the West. 4. Continued emphasis on responsible development of the nation's domestic energy resources (see energy issue discussion in this report for details). 5. Educating policymakers on the implications of the Executive Branch's efforts to establish "projected future climate impacts-related species vulnerabilities" as a justification for a whole new range of regulatory actions/authority by agencies across the federal government. Included: discussions of CEQ proposal to insert "future climate impacts" as a required part of analysis under NEPA, Fish and Wildlife Service use as rationale for expansion of critical habitat designations under ESA, and use by the U.S. Forest Service in interpretation/implementation of revised Forest Planning Rule. 6. Educating policymakers on the need for a robust domestic minerals policy to support the U.S. economic, energy and national security interests. Activities include support for: S. 1113, H.R. 3155, S. 1690, H.R. 2011 and H.R. 1904, H.R. 4402, H.R. 1192. 7. Educating policymakers on issues arising as a result of federal land management agencies' "interim" measures relating to Greater Sage Grouse conservation. 8. Supporting ESA reform to work better for the regulated community and for the recovery of species. 9. Support for efforts to streamline federal regulatory permitting processes. Includes support for H.R. 4377 and language attached to other legislation which helps to make those processes more efficient and effective. 10. Opposition to EPA's suggestion that project-specific NEPA reviews should be expanded to include life-cycle cumulative impacts analyses. Oppose effort by EPA and allies to use such a technique to stymie export of specific U.S. commodities in the West.
