TFB supports the S. 2421, the FARM Act in the Senate and H.R. 5275, the ACRE Act in the House to provide relief from new reporting rules in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA). The House and Senate legislation would return us to the 2008 CERCLA reporting requirements essentially exempting ag/livestock producers from reporting. TFB supported H.R. 5, the Regulatory Accountability Act to solve the problem of overreaching, ill-considered government regulations that negatively impact farmers and ranchers. TFB advocated for the legislation which requires agencies to choose the lowest-cost rulemaking alternative that meets statutory objectives and requires greater opportunity for public input and vetting of critical information for rules passed by agencies. TFB supported an amendment by Rep. Collin Peterson to prohibit agencies from impartially communicating with the public in order to generate support or opposition to a proposed rule. TFB supports the passage and enactment of H.R. 953, the Reducing Regulatory Burdens Act, and S. 340, the Sensible Environmental Protection Act (SEPA) which would clarify Congressional intent regarding regulation of the use of pesticides in or near navigable waters. TFB corresponded with Members of Congress to express support for reducing duplicative and needless regulations on pesticide applicators used by agricultural producers.

TFB supports the S. 2421, the FARM Act in the Senate and H.R. 5275, the ACRE Act in the House to provide relief from new reporting rules in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA). The House and Senate legislation would return us to the 2008 CERCLA reporting requirements essentially exempting ag/livestock producers from reporting. TFB supported H.R. 5, the Regulatory Accountability Act to solve the problem of overreaching, ill-considered government regulations that negatively impact farmers and ranchers. TFB advocated for the legislation which requires agencies to choose the lowest-cost rulemaking alternative that meets statutory objectives and requires greater opportunity for public input and vetting of critical information for rules passed by agencies. TFB supported an amendment by Rep. Collin Peterson to prohibit agencies from impartially communicating with the public in order to generate support or opposition to a proposed rule. TFB supports the passage and enactment of H.R. 953, the Reducing Regulatory Burdens Act, and S. 340, the Sensible Environmental Protection Act (SEPA) which would clarify Congressional intent regarding regulation of the use of pesticides in or near navigable waters. TFB corresponded with Members of Congress to express support for reducing duplicative and needless regulations on pesticide applicators used by agricultural producers.
