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) today announced a markup of the Air Quality Standards Implementation Act of 2024. 

“America has long been the world’s economic powerhouse while also maintaining some of the lowest air pollution levels in the world. Recent efforts by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including a standard on fine particulate matter—or PM 2.5—threaten this legacy and will devastate American manufacturing and people’s livelihoods," said Chairs Rodgers and Carter. "We look forward to this week’s subcommittee markup to discuss an alternative approach to the Biden administration's misguided actions, one that modernizes the process for reviewing and implementing air quality standards in a way that protects public health while ensuring American communities can thrive economically.”

WHAT: Subcommittee on Environment, Manufacturing, and Critical Materials markup on the EPA's overreaching and ineffective NAAQS policies and ways to reform them.
