Commonsense Legislative Exceptional Events Reforms Act of 2015 This bill amends the Clean Air Act to revise the requirements for regulations that govern the review and handling of air quality monitoring data influenced by exceptional events. (The Environmental Protection Agency [EPA] may exclude monitored exceedances of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards from consideration when designating an area as nonattainment, redesignating an area as nonattainment, or reclassifying an existing nonattainment area to a higher classification if a state demonstrates that an exceptional event caused the exceedances.) The criteria used to determine if an exceptional event was demonstrated must be specific in order to minimize the discretion of the EPA in approving or disapproving the demonstration. The EPA must make a determination within 90 days after the submission of a petition by a state of an exceptional event demonstration. The demonstration is approved if the EPA does not make a determination by that deadline. A determination must be based on a preponderance of the evidence and give substantial deference to the findings of the state exceptional event demonstration. An appeal process for reviewing a disapproval of a demonstration is established.

CSPA expressed our member companies consensus positions on Congressional oversight of regulatory matters related to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). In addition, CSPA staff met with professional staff of the Senate and House Agriculture Committees and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to discuss issues related to the implementation of the Pesticide Registration Improvement Extension Act (PRIA 3) of 2012. CSPA is leading a coalition to support reauthorization of the Act (PRIA 4) and met with members of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees. CSPA worked on issues related to preventing the spread of the Zika Virus and briefed senior staff of the Senate and House Committees on Agriculture and the House Committee on Energy and Commerce about CSPAs work with the EPA, the Department of Health & Human Services and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. CSPA supported Congressional action to modernize the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), specifically S. 697, the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act; and H.R. 2576, the TSCA Modernization Act of 2015. CSPA addressed provisions of the two bills related to use reporting (TSCA 8), confidential business information (TSCA 14), and preemption (TSCA 18). CSPA contacted the professional staff of the Senate and House Appropriations Committees to support continued adequate funding for the EPA Safer Choice program. CSPA also met with senior EPA staff to discuss the Safer Choice program. CSPA supports Congressional action challenging the new National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ground-level ozone because our member companies have serious concerns about the feasibility of the EPA regulation. CSPA advocacy actions focused primarily on H.R. 4775, the Ozone Standards Implementation Act, a bill that would (among other things) extend the review cycle from five to ten years for NAAQS under the Clean Air Act and S. 2882, the Ozone Standards Implementation Act of 2016. CSPA monitored other bills, including: H.J. Res. 74 and S.J. Res. 25, Congressional Review Act resolutions that would nullify the EPA final rule revising the NAAQS for ozone; H.R. 4265, the Clean Air Implementation Act, a bill that would increase the period for reviewing NAAQS from five years to eight years; H.R. 1388 and S. 751, the Clean Air, Strong Economies (CASE) Act, a bill that would prohibit EPA from lowering the ozone standard until at least 85% of counties that are currently in nonattainment achieve full compliance with the 2008 ozone standard; H.R. 1320 and S. 638, the Commonsense Legislative Exceptional Events Reform (CLEER) Act, a bill to delay the review and revision of the NAAQS for ozone; H.R. 1327 and S. 640, the Ozone Regulatory Delay and Extension of Assessment Length (ORDEAL) Act, a bill to amend the federal Clean Air Act to delay review and revision of the NAAQS for ozone; S. 2072, a bill to require EPA to establish a program to defer designations of non-attainment area if the area achieves and maintains certain standards under a voluntary early action compact plan; and H.R. 4000, the Ozone NAAQS Deadline Harmonization Act, a bill that would harmonize the requirements of the 2008 and 2015 ozone standards and establish a workable implementation schedule for the 2015 standard.
