| 摘要： | It's been another busy summer for the Geosynthetic Materials Association (GMA) and that activity will continue into the fall. We kicked off the summer in early May with our second Geosynthetic Infrastructure Morning at the Outlook Conference held at the Westin Poinsett in downtown Greenville, S.C. Two years into the implementation of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), many questions remain unanswered, and our invited speakers provided some insights. Nick Goldstein, vice president of regulatory and legal Issues for the American Road and Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA), led a discussion on multiple items and issues that the IIJA created, including a record investment that led to increases in state and local contract awards of more than 30%; the Build America, Buy America (BABA) language; updates on the Davis-Bacon Act; Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards; Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) programs; and labor/contracting regulations. He also provided insight into various environmental issues including the Waters of the United States (WOTUS) debate (the Supreme Court has issued a ruling since this writing), National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) reform rollbacks, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) greenhouse gas (GHG) monitoring rule and the federal 'buy clean' initiative at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). |
