Biden's Regulatory Overreach Stifles Coal Communities and Tribal Development
Press Release
Issues: Economy and Fiscal Environment
"Under the Biden Administration, the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE) implemented misguided administrative complexities that have prevented states from cleaning up former mining sites and slow-walked the approval of good mining projects. These delays have serious ramifications, so I am grateful to the witnesses from various coal mining communities for shining a light on their respective struggles with the OSMRE during today's hearing. Their testimonies are incredibly helpful as we contemplate solutions to create a more effective and transparent agency."
