the epa carries out this response ability through fifra a licensing statute which requires the epa to review and register the use of pesticide products. today's hearing is a reminder of this committee's responsibility and my personal commendment along with the ranking member to conduct business to regular order and in a transparent manner. relating to fifra, this committee has legislative work ahead of us with the reauthorization of the pesticide improve the actor pra, preawhile technical in nature is critically important and industry that relies upon timely pesticide registration decisions to get products on the market and in the hands of pharma. pra expires at the end of this fiscal year and with that deadline in mind it is my hope that today's hearing will lay the groundwork for our committee action on advancing pra this work period if the there's widespread support for pra among the community whi. illustrating this is a letter from our committee and urging swift action. i ask unanimous consent for this letter to be included into the record without objection, it is so ordered. we k

you think the ud sda outreach to epa has been helpful? >> yes, ma'am, any time we can come together across agency lines to help businesses that's what we should do. it should be about service and about finding solutions and not -- from the state's perspective, where we want to be more at the table on from the secretaries and direct ors and commissioners and the department of ag across the country, we believe we've got a role to play, too, not just across federal agencies but also we're the ones that are implementing it. we're the ones on the ground every day working with farmers, working with businesses and real people in real ways. i for one -- i absolutely believe in the supremacy of federal law. we have programs and things we have to enforce. i don't think federal government, though, has a monopoly on talent and skill and experience and there is quite a bit of that at the state level and we would like to be a part of how do we improve the skill sets in the federal government so that when we have people who have responsibility for agric

vroom, you said there is little certainty with registration packages with epa. could you elaborate on how pria has continually improved the regulatory certainty for the registrants? >> thank you, mr. chairman, absolutely. so we described in our written testimony how the passage of the free quality protection act in '96 really put a huge bias on epa's processes. the biggest casualty of that additional work was a slowdown and a virtual halt for new product approvals, because of the burden of reevaluating under the new standards of fqpa. it took us a full eight years after fqpa to 2004 to get pria put in place. and so wait times above four, five, even six years for new active ingredients, and even at that time investment into new active ingredient for a manufacturer was probably in excess of $150 million. today it's approaching $300 million. and within a couple of years of pria being enacted and having the effect of additional resources for epa, and the clarity of priorities of timelines, that four-year and more wait time dropped to about two years. now, it's creep

help the head of the epa do what needs to be done.solating yourself from science is not a wise policy. host: wre'd you think the voice of science and scientists is, in the political debate? organizers had insisted before hand that they march well political was nonpartisan and an by a sea oflied anti-trump signs and repeated condemnations of the trump administration. a blast sayingt donald trump does not believe in climate change. is there a role for scientists who may not want to get into the political fray, but want to talk about scientific issues? guest: i'm glad you brought up the march. it was a phenomenon. we have not seen anything like it in half a century. it was the first time in a long time that scientists said we can, we should and we will step into the public square. i think that is perfectly appropriate. it does not distort the science or introduced bias -- or introduce bias. science is designed to protect against bias. you certainly don't want to politicize the science. the converse is not necessarily true. if science can

to to have him as the head of the epa basically has the epa, they're t supposed to be regulating the industry they work for. we are worried by that signal and the 30% cuts, the thousands of workers and employees that he wants to lay off shows that we are under attack. >> host: last time we talked about a new release from the trump campaign about the president's first 100 days ands his accomplishments. what is the environmental 1 story of the first 100 days. >> guest: he is attacking environmental protections and has made that a huge priority. it starts with scott pruitt and rex tiller's and, the former head of exxon mobil in charge of our foreign policy. we basically have a government t that works for oil industry. i think that's the story of the first 100 days. the other story and that agenda is extremely unpopular with the american people. that's why donald trump lost the popular vote and why we are seeing hunts to peopleleme rallying at the women's march and also this weekend at the people's claimant march. this extreme agenda that he's pushing forward and americans are fighting b

how can getting this 1.5 grams of epa and dha into your body every day help with pain? >> a few years back, i took 250 patients who came into my office complaining of neck pain and back pain. all were on nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories, and i gave them and put them on a therapeutic dose of omega-3 fatty acids. and within six to eight weeks, 60% of the patients returned and were able to get off and get rid of the nonsteroidals, which we all know have very serious potential side effects. these include gastric ulcers and other major problems. so that for joint pain, i'm absolutely convinced, and i rarely use nonsteroidals in my practice anymore. as a neurosurgeon and as a triathlete, healthy aging is extremely important to me, and keeping my heart healthy, my joints limber, and my mind sharp are absolutely critical for me in my profession. >> that's impressive hearing that a neurosurgeon is no longer using nsaids in his practice for the most part. i'm a believer now. i already was, but i'm even more of a believer hearing about that study. we were able to catch up with you

yet epa allowed imidacloprid on the u.s. market a year later. after decades of expurure, the consesequences epa a scientistse warned about are now confirmed by the task force on systemic pesticides. >> and unfortunately, these chchemicals are often, and i wod say most of f the time, rereased beforee there is s adequate informatioto show whether they arare harmful inin the environo. i thinknk neonicotinonoids are a prime exexample of thahat. >> epa assesses risk posed by pesticides prior to their release on the market. safety studies are typically conducted and paid for by pesticide manufacturers on their own product. epa says its decisions are informed by the best science available. in addition to studies by manufacturers, epa scientists review pesticide studies from peer-reviewed scientific journals and data from a wide variety of sources when they are available. but studies on pesticide safety that come out after a pesticicide isn thee market may not be evaluated by y epa until a a pesticide cos up for rereview, a process that canakake long a

epa is not the enemy.s from those that are determined to allow their agreed to take our country backwards, to make america great again come that's a plan, to make america great again and for what? the almighty delegate we cannot allow that. and only we can stop it. there's not a politician that will do a thing and leslie sais appeared with we got to demand that our leaders step up and take charge of things and make sure that we are going to maintain our health. federal, we vilified the federal service i serve in the military. nobody vilifies the military because we protect americans. it's the same thing for all your federal agents. we are federal service. i took an oath to this job. i swore the same old that i swore when i signed up for the 20 years in the marine corps. not a word was different but we have to make sure that we serve and those employed at the epa must be allowed to do that. we've been made scapegoats. we followed orders that we should be punished for doing that. no order, no regulation come

according to epa. most of it is to large communities. 62% is ordered to large communities, including numerous srf projects that cost over 50 million or $100 million. the srfs work for all-sized water systems and we're grateful for your support of the programs. my final point is regarding choice in privatization. the decision for any local government to privatize or consolidate should be determined at the discretion of local citizens. there's nothing more efficient or economic cal. regarding consolidation, rural water associations and systems like mine have assisted in more communities consolidating their programs than any other organization. again, when communities believe consolidation will benefit them, they eagerly agree with these partnerships. i have numerous examples from my own community which partners with six neighboring utilities in various forms. we do not think any new federal regular la t regulatory policy would be beneficial to local communities and their citizens. thank you mr. shimkis f

so when the epa is under attack, what do we do? when the epa is under attack, what do we do? back! let'sti give a warm, warm welco to mr. nate james. >> good afternoon, everybody. i'm so excited to be here, because i speak to you as a conduit for all those employees that are working under duress in great amounts of stress at the epa. i'm not talking about bureaucrats, politicians, or all these other folks that we've been misled into fighting each other about. i'm talking about people just like you sitting out here in this audience, epa employees that are hardworking and dedicated to service. that's a word that i've been using for the entire duration of my life. grew up as a boy scout, a cub scout. 20 years in the united states marine corps. my fellow workers do a large number of things for us, but i want to try to bring it home so it means something to you. i hope when i speak to you today that you'll take some of the words i say to you back home with you. did you eat breakfast this morning? if you ate breakfast, will you eat dinner tonight? something as simple as that the ep

the discussion draft has states consider how to encourage best practices and asset management and has epa update technical and other training materials. we received testimony on the need to further aid disadvantaged communities. the discussion draft increases the amount a state can dedicate to disadvantaged communities to 35% of their annual capitalization grant. we received testimony on the need to increase funding for the drinking water state revolving loan fund. and the public water systems supervision grant. but not specific recommendations about what a real estatic number is or whether budgetary cuts will offset the increases. the discussion. it leaves in blank to law a more specific conversation to occur. this will not be easy. some of the conversations will be difficult. we will have to have them in an open and honest manner, but that is not new. anyone who has been around our sub committee for a while knows we have a reputation for tackling challenging issues. we are at the beginning of this journey with the discussion draft as a baseline, and we're not close to the finish line. w

in which it looks like the administration, the epa, the new epa in this administration, rather than holding periods, like individual regulations or individual things they want to change, they appear to be starting as of tomorrow. a public process to consider scrapping or modifying all regulations, all environmental regulations, all at once. with the very limited public comment period that most people can't get in on. do they have any insight into what they're doing there or what their aims are? >> i certainly know what they're intending to do is to take broad public comment in a lottery process with just a few people to see whether or not there are specific regulations that people would like to reconsider. but those are very different processes than are required under law to actually change rules. so while this is an attempt for them to say they're opening up to public comment, we all know that industries have already been to the white house to make their wishes known. but the good thing is that the law requires really broad public process, real hearings, real comment processes to be opened

and the clean power plant, fascinating enough when our last epa administer speaks she said no biggy, it's all going to happen anyways. the targets are going to be met. the system has essentially -- we were riding the wave, so whether the next president revokes it or not we're going to get to the same place, anyways. reflexes on either of that and where do you see these issues going? >> i'll hop in on the clean maurer plant. i think no shocker there. one of the things that i think it's important to delineate is the difference between changes that are made by market or technology forces and things that what are attempted to be super accelerated in a program that is not reflective of the natural order of those two. and former administer of epa is mccarthy is correct in saying that when you look across the generation, the united states, it has shifted in a way due to the price and availability of natural gas, which has a gone to the print than 15 or 20 years ago. the keyword there is price and availability of natural gas. not doing ago we were in a world of eight to $12 natural gas. it w

eastern to announce that the epa was pulling all of its climate data off of the epa's website. that was a classy friday night news dump last week. we got two more epa friday night news dumps tonight that will be getting to later on in this show. but in addition to the friday night news dumps where they just hide stuff late on a friday thinking no one will notice it, the other thing that happens with the trump administration on friday, and this, i think, has to be a coincidence, this is just god hates me, it's that news about them tends to break on friday night as well. and that is the case tonight in "the washington post" and the associated press. "the washington post" was first. they front page the mike flynn and all the apparent warnings he was given about his contact with russian government officials during the transition. so, between the election and when president trump was actually sworn in. according to tonight's front page scoop in the "the washington post," mike flynn was warned explicitly that his considerations with russian officials were, quote, undoubtedly being mo

i want to move on to talk about this epa news. president trump is delaying his decision on whether to withdraw from the paris climate accord for at least a couple more weeks. he now wants to wait until after his trip to the g-7 summit in italy this month. originally, the white house had planned to announce its decision by the meeting. even the president's own advisers are deeply divided over whether to ditch the deal. while the president is pondering what exactly to do, his predecessor is definitely defending the landmark climate pact. >> there's indisputable that the planet is getting warmer and the only real controversy is how much warmer will it get. the current administration has differences with my administration in terms of energy policy and that's part of what happens in democracy. so there will be a useful debate that takes place in america. >> off of that, some changes also to tell you about regarding the epa or environmental protection agency. as the epa chief, scott pruitt, decided to replace half of the members on its

epa by large complied and then congress had -- publicly blame epa for not cleaning up the air on time. sound familiar? i might have missed a slide. that's fine. so once congress began this new way of legislating, there was no going back because the key ability to shift the blame for bad consequences had changed. they could legislate in ways that look to make rosy promises regardless of the impact. they put into the clean air act 940 separate commands to the epa administrator to regulate. many of these commands require dozens if not hundreds of different regulations. those were judicially enforceable commands, okay? and they also wrote these commands in ways that are complicated to obscure the responsibility for consequences. so what we have is a fabulously complicated system for regulating air pollution. this is from gina mccarthy, barack obama epa administrator, each sector 17-20 rolls that govern each piece of equipment and you've got to be a neuroscientist to figure it out. that's the clean air act today. and beyond that, there's no personal an incentive on part of members of congr

cutting the epa funding for clean coal? that probably won't play well in appalachia. in the tea party, who want to cut the budget and think the government spends too much money, they are going to like this. ,o be fair to mick mulvaney this is supplemental patrician assistance. food stamps. their argument is that this is 2009, look at how they went up. look at where they are now. they are still very elevated, though eight years into a recovery. they say that has to come down, too many people taking advantage of the program. maybe they can provide evidence and get something done, but that's some of the thinking. julia: cut the fat. scarlet: toluse: yeah, cut the fat. yeah, cut-- scarlet: the fat. toluse, what kind of timeline are we looking at in terms of getting responses from republicans? toluse: republicans will have to work with democrats, especially the senate, for the next few months, to keep it funded. over the next few months they outgoing to have to figure how much of the president positive ideas they are going to incorporate, how much they will leave out. ther

you mentioned he started the epa. can you tell me what the motivation was for that back then? >> he was inaugurated on january 20, 1969 and a week later there was a massive oil spill off the coast of santa barbara, california. nixon was from southern california himself. he flew out there and this ignited the environmental movement in the united states and the republicans and democrats got in a race for a competition as to who could do more from a the environment. if you poll organizations, they will say the number one republican was roosevelt and then richard nixon. it was clean air, coastal zone management, endangered species act. almost all of this legislation was signed by richard nixon at the same. they were very devoted to the cause and nixon had a basic sympathy to the cause. he was from california, watching what was happening in california with smog and los angeles and this oil spill and and he had a business constiuency and got frustrated and there is a great tape filled with profanity so i can't recite it as i would like to right now. >> we are on c-span! >> i think i

instead he has ransacked the epa and slashed fundings for cleaning up hazardous substances or for enforcing clean air and clean water laws. the presidents budget is shortsighted based on false assumptions and the plan that perfectly reflects what republicans in congress have been trying to inflict on america for years. it's important to note this because some members say it's dead on arrival. in the house this budget is a step down the same road to ruin advanced by years of house republican budget under speaker ryan and chairman price. budgets which ransacked our investments in jobs, education and for hard-working families. budgets that were thought to have massive new tax breaks to the rich by stealing from food stamps and slashing medicaid. all of this to give tax cuts to the wealthiest people in america. what's important to us should be reflected in how we allocate our resources. this budget fails to recognize that education is the greatest investment we can make and help people make reach their aspirations and keep america number one. he also fails to recognize that nothing brings more
