R. 26 Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny Act, H.R. 5 the Regulatory Accountability Act, and H.R. 1004, the Regulatory Integrity Act. MFB has also communicated with the U.S. Senate on the need to take up these bills and concepts in 2017. Specifically, we are supportive of S. 951, the Regulatory Accountability Act, introduced by Sens. Rob Portman and Heidi Heitkamp. Farm Bureau members support these efforts because of EPAs recent rulemaking actions, such as the Waters of the US Rule, Clean Air Rule, Worker Protection Standards and others have highlighted the problems not just with the Agency, but with the regulatory process itself. Everything from how scientific review is incorporated, to the requirements for cost-benefit analysis, to the deference given to agencies in federal courts and beyond, need to be examined to ensure that the regulatory process is fair, transparent, and aligns with Congressional intent based on the laws they pass.
