NAR Letter to House Urging Support of HR 5078

Issue Date: September 08, 2014


US HR 5078 - The Waters of the U.S. Regulatory Overreach Protection Act

H.R. 5078 would prevent the Environmental Protection Agency and Army Corps of Engineers from moving forward with a misguided, unjustified rule and send them back to the drawingboard to consult with the states and stakeholders.  The bill does not roll back existing environmental protections or prevent the agencies from regulating where they find some common ground with the States and provide a legal, policy and scientific basis for their regulatory decisions.  It simply acknowledges that the administrative process for this rulemaking was flawed and that opportunities for meaningful input, data and consultation will lead to better rulemaking and could dramatically strengthen environmental protections while minimizing unnecessary red tape and burden.
