| 00001368dc53f7b53d35edf4813fffaee0e1d0fbd99b97aa93210840ef667111 | I am writing in support of the Administration’s efforts to reform the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). For nearly four decades, NEPA’s burdensome and overbearing regulations have held back American agricultural infrastructure and hurt farmers across the country. It’s time for that to change. We must take advantage of the opportunity we have to modernize NEPA. Reforming NEPA would unleash American investment and provide our farmers with the infrastructure they need to compete in the 21st century. Right now, the United States ranks near the bottom in permitting among industrialized countries — 26 out of 33 — according to the World Bank’s most recent ‘Doing Business’ study. This is unacceptable. The proposed reform from the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) would immediately solve this problem and be a huge win for American farmers in all 50 states. The benefits of reforming NEPA are incalculable and we must act now. I strongly support the Council on Environmental Quality’s proposed reforms.
