Marty Durbin, Senior Vice President at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, commented on the Environmental Protection Agency's recent announcements to modify key regulations from the Biden Administration. These include changes to the Waters of the United States (WOTUS), Clean Power Plan, and standards for air quality and vehicles.
Durbin said, "American businesses were crippled with an unprecedented regulatory onslaught during the previous administration that contributed to higher costs felt by families around the country. The Chamber supports a more balanced regulatory approach that will protect the environment and support greater economic growth."
He further mentioned that they had provided feedback to the previous administration regarding business concerns about various rules, including WOTUS, Clean Power Plan, air quality standards, risk management, and social cost of carbon. Durbin emphasized their efforts in working with the Trump Administration to implement reforms aimed at reducing regulatory costs and providing certainty to businesses.
The statement highlights ongoing efforts by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to collaborate with government agencies in order to achieve a balance between environmental protection and economic growth.
