Chairs Rodgers and Carter Announce Hearing on EPA’s Harmful RMP Rule

Washington, D.C. - House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) and Environment, Manufacturing, and Critical Materials Subcommittee Chair Buddy Carter (R-GA) announced a hearing titled "EPA's RMP Rule: Failures to Protect the American People and American Manufacturing."

"The EPA's proposed RMP rule is expensive, over-the-top, and not rooted in reality. It is just the latest example of President Biden bending to radical environmentalists at the expense of America's economic prosperity. Furthermore, the rule's requirement that manufacturers publicly disclose their facilities' vulnerabilities puts a target on their backs, opening them to attack and posing a serious security risk. We look forward to learning more from stakeholders next week about the negative impacts this poses for U.S. manufacturing and the American economy."

Environment, Manufacturing, and Critical Materials Subcommittee hearing titled "EPA's RMP Rule: Failures to Protect the American People and American Manufacturing."
