00 2023-03-29 Introduced in Senate 2024-02-12T15:18:00Z <p><b> Farmer-Informed WOTUS Act of 2023</b></p> <p>This bill requires the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to establish an advisory committee that is representative of the U.S. farming and ranching sectors to make recommendations on the impact of<i> waters of the United States</i> (WOTUS) regulations on U.S. agriculture and environmental protection. (The Clean Water Act [CWA] protects<i> navigable waters</i>, which the statute defines as WOTUS. Because the CWA does not further define this term, the agencies that implement the CWA have defined WOTUS in regulations.)</p> <p>Specifically, USDA must establish an advisory committee to study and develop recommendations to address matters such as</p> <ul> <li>the impact of the prior-converted farmland exemption on agricultural operations,</li> <li>the impact of WOTUS regulations on secure food supply chains and rural infrastructure, and</li> <li>how to develop safe harbor conditions for farmers who observe certain conservation practices. <br> </li> </ul> <p>Federal agencies must provide to the committee any information requested by the committee chair. </p> <p>The advisory committee terminates 90 days after completing reporting requirements.</p>
