Clean Air Implementation Act of 2015 This bill amends the Clean Air Act to require the review of national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) in eight year intervals instead of five year intervals. The EPA may take into account the technological feasibility of attaining NAAQS when revising those NAAQS. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) must: (1) report on the extent to which foreign sources of air pollution impact areas trying to achieve or maintain the NAAQS, (2) submit that report within 24 months, and (3) suspend the implementation of the 2015 rule regarding NAAQS for ozone until the EPA submits that report. Deadlines in that rule must be extended for a period that is equal to the amount of time it takes the EPA to submit that report. The EPA may take into account the technological feasibility of attaining NAAQS when establishing and revising those NAAQS.

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.
