                        BLOCKING EPA REGULATION

  (Mrs. WALORSKI asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. WALORSKI. Mr. Speaker, the EPA is at it again. A few weeks ago, 
this runaway agency released its most expensive regulation in history. 
The new ozone rule joins a number of other costly, expansive, and 
crippling regulations put out by the EPA during the Obama 
administration. According to the EPA's own estimates, this new 
regulation will be one of the most crippling in history, at a cost of 
$1.4 billion a year.
  While no one disagrees that the protection of air quality is an 
essential responsibility, Hoosiers have a proven track record of being 
good stewards of the environment and good stewards of the economy. Yet 
the EPA continues to issue rules that overwhelm Hoosier companies and 
threaten job creation.
  We should focus on policies that grow the economy, protect our 
environment, and not burying job creators under red tape and mandates.
  It is time to end the EPA's assault on business. That is why, today, 
I am introducing a resolution of disapproval that would block this 
harmful regulation. I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting this 
resolution.
