| 1296099 | ac390545-f8a5-4e11-bfb7-91f488abf198 | Q3 | POLICY COMMUNICATONS, INC. | 290398 | WESTERN BUSINESS ROUNDTABLE | 2012 | third_quarter | NAT | 1. Opposition to the DOI/USDA policies that seek to unilaterally change -- through administrative fiat -- the designation/multiple use of millions of acres of Western federal lands (through land withdrawals, roadless policies, climate adaptation policies, critical habitat designations and other restrictive regulations). Activities include onoing support for various reform initiatives, including: H.R. 1581, H.R. 4716, H.R. 758, H.R. 302, H.R. 817, H.R. 846, H.R. 3147, H.R. 4965, S. 224, S. 1097 and related amendments to 1. (Cont.) other bills designed to constrain federal agencies from engaging in such activities unilaterally. 2. Ongoing support for common sense legal reform, including: H.R. 1996, S. 1061 and H.R. 4078. 3. Stressing the implications of the proposed Executive Branch requirements (i.e. NEPA, GHG, CAA, CWA, climate adaptation, federal land management policies, ESA listings, national ocean policy, etc.) that hamper energy and natural resource developemnt projects across the West. 4. Continued emphasis on responsible development of the nation's domestic energy resoruces, including those on the West's federal lands (see more under the Energy portion of this report). 5. Educating policymakers on the impacts of the Executive Branch's efforts to establish "projected future climate impacts-related species vulnerabilities" as justification for a whole new range of regulatory actions/authority by agencies across the federal government. Included: discussions of the CEQ proposal to insert "future climate impacts" as a required part of analysis under NEPA; FWS' use as a rationale for expansion of critical habitat designations under ESA; use by the USFS in interpretation/implementation of revised Forest Planning Rule. 6. Educating policymakers on the need for a robust domestic minerals policy to support U.S. economic, energy and national security interests. Activities include support for: S. 1113, H.R. 3155, S. 1690, H.R. 2011 and H.R. 1904, H.R. 4402, H.R. 1192. 7. Educating policymakers on issues arising as a result of federal land management agencies' "interim" measures related to Greater Sage Grouse conservation. 8. Supporting ESA reform to make the statute work better for the regulated community and to result in improved recovery of species. 9. Support for efforts to continue funding of the Upper Colorado River and San Juan River Basin endangered fish recovery programs (H.R. 6060). 10. Opposition to EPA's suggestion that project-specific NEPA reviews should be expanded to include life-cycle cumulative impact analyses (including impacts of use of ultimate products' use by consumers abroad). Oppose effort by EPA and allies to use such a technique to stymie exports of specific U.S. commodities. 11. Support for language added to the FY13 House Appropriations packages that would exempt minor USFS activities from public notice, comment and appeals processes. Language would solve bureacratic requirements dictated by federal court decision. | 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 |
