                         AMENDMENT TO H.R. 2681

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. EARL BLUMENAUER

                               of oregon

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, October 4, 2011

  Mr. BLUMENAUER. Mr. Speaker, in 1990, the Clean Air Act Amendments 
required EPA to complete and issue regulations on hazardous air 
pollutants by 2000. This week, we are considering two bills that would 
delay two regulations for at least another six years--with no deadline 
for EPA to complete regulations, and giving industry no deadline to 
comply. My amendment will add a finding to H.R. 2681 that the Clean Air 
Act required these regulations before 2000, and required the mandated 
emissions reductions to occur by 2003.
