| 1296098 | ac390545-f8a5-4e11-bfb7-91f488abf198 | Q3 | POLICY COMMUNICATONS, INC. | 290398 | WESTERN BUSINESS ROUNDTABLE | 2012 | third_quarter | CAW | 1. Educating policymakers on the costs vs. benefits of various approaches to regulation of GHGs, including: EPA actions to regulate GHGs under the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts, as well as CEQ and other agencies' efforts to integrate impact analyses into regulatory decisionmaking processes (i.e. DOI/FWS/CEQ/EPA/USDA Climate Action Plans/Sustainability Plans/Climate Adaptation Plans and other planning and operational documents). The Roundtable has encouraged oversight of such policies by Congress. 2. Educating policymakers on the negative implications of suggested EPA actions to increase the stringency of Clean Air Act regulations, including: GHG NSPS standards for power plants, mercury, boiler MACT, utility MACT, oil and gas regualtions and Western States' regional haze requirements. Activities include ongoing support for various Congressional efforts to stave off the economic damage caused by the cumulative impacts of this onslaught of regulations. Legislative efforts supported include: H.R. 2401, S. J. Res. 37, H.R. 2250, H.R. 1633 (along with various amendments to other legislation [including S. 3240] seeking to achieve similar results). 3. Educating policymakers on promising clean energy technologies, including discussion of the challenges facing carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) and enhanced oil recovery (EOR). Support for legislative efforts to support technology and infrastructure to support both CCS and EOR. 4. Educating policymakers on the implications of efforts by EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers to unilaterally expand their regulatory authority under the Clean Water Act. Activities have included support for various legislative efforts to oppose this regulatory over-reach, including legislative language stopping the EPA/Corps from proceeding with "Waters of the U.S." jurisdictional guidance. Legislation supported includes: S. 2245, H.R. 4965 (and various amendments to other legislation seeking to achieve the same result). 5. Support for legislation (H.R. 3409) to force DOI's Office of Surface Mining to cease rulemaking on Surface Mining and Reclamation Act regulations designed to replace the Stream Buffer Zone Rule. 6. Educating policymakers regarding the potential consequences for Western headwater states of the President's unilaterally-instituted National Oceans Policy. Support Congressional efforts to limit funding of the Policy's implementation. 7. Educating policymakers regarding the negative consequences of the EPA's draft assessment of potential mining impacts on Bristol Bay, Alaska. The assessment, done in the absence of any defined project, will prematurely and inappropriately determine "impacts" of an important economic sector, based on hypotheticals and subjective projections/modeling. | Agriculture, Dept of (USDA),Army, Dept of (Corps of Engineers),Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ),Energy, Dept of,Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,Interior, Dept of (DOI),SENATE | 10000 | 0 | 0 | 2012-10-09T14:12:04.680000-04:00 |
