| 摘要： | The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee advanced proposals to kill the Biden administration's rule to redefine the Waters of the United States (WOTUS) and to streamline the permitting process under the Clean Water Act's Section 401. HJR 27 and HR 1152 now go to the House for a floor vote. Published in January, the Biden administration's WOTUS rule is scheduled to take effect March 20. In advancing the proposal to overturn the controversial rule, Republicans argued it was another example of regulatory overreach that would burden farmers, home builders and even everyday Americans with more uncertainty and litigation. Critics of the new rule also have argued the administration should have waited until the U.S. Supreme Court announces its decision on a pending case involving WOTUS. Democratic backers of the new rule continue to defend it as a way to provide a durable WOTUS definition after legal challenges marked the efforts of both the Obama and Trump administrations. Republican sponsors of the bill to streamline Section 401 said the Clean Water Act has been abused by certain states to block interstate energy projects. |
