From the House Committee on Small Business:
On Sept. 9, the House passed the Waters of the United States Regulatory Overreach Protection Act (HR 5078), a common-sense bill that would prohibit the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Army Corps of Engineers from finalizing their proposed rule that would redefine “waters of the United States” under the Clean Water Act, and be costly for many small businesses. Chairman Graves and other Committee members have strongly opposed this overreach by the agencies. In total, the cost of complying with government regulations is now more than $2 trillion yearly, according to a study released Wednesday by the National Association of Manufacturers.
