it is from the epa. inquiring about what steps the agency might take to enforce -- to ensure full transparency from grant recipients, since receiving the memo. i asked for unanimous consent to enter this into the record, dated april 13, 2020. management implication report disclosure of foreign support for epa researching grants. >> i'm not quite sure if i know specifically what is in that memo. i can tell you that we have taken a number of steps to strengthen research grant requirements consistent with the nda of 2021. we responded to concerns raised by our office of inspector general and we have updated the terms and conditions of our research grant to ensure that grantees provide disclosure about sources of funding, both before they get the grant and on an ongoing basis, once they receive those grants. we have responded to the ig suggestions, there. >> about is what i want to hear. thank you mr. chairman, i yield the balance of my time. >> thank you. i recognize ms. stevens for five minutes of question

navy seals, was rated by the epa. i tried to get together and talk to you about this but it was enforcement sensitive. i was not able to do that. since this case involves the national security, i just wonder how the epa dealt with the request seeking regulatory clarity involving national security exemptions. >> thank you. i do have some limitations in terms of that specific case because of the office of inspector general's investigation. what i would say is the clean air act gives us the flexibility to look at clean air act flexibilities for vehicles as it relates to international -- national security interests. we want to think about whether or not this case fits into a future discussion with the clean air act flexibility. >> do you think it might be possible to expand the exemption to first responders like fire, emergency medical services, law enforcement? >> we have had some conversations with those entities as well, along with manufacturers. we have not really seen the need for that flexibility. most of our flexib

analysis of epa scientists. we expect to issue a final drinking water rule in the coming months. while scientists has told us mixing of your progress we still a lot of work to do. to increase our understanding of pfas. our scientiststo a focus on methods to detect and measure pfas and understand the risk pfas has her help and it ecosystems and ways we can reduce pfas that already in our environment. epa will continue making progress by working close collaboration with tribes, states, communities and other stakeholders including congress to enact into about pfas solutions that follow the signs and you stand the test of time. science isn't just about finding problems. it's about fixing them. that's what i'm grateful to congress for providing $10 billion for mama person for such a law to address emerging contaminants which we have begun distributing. i'm hopeful and optimistic epa's sites science would lead to a cleaner and healthier future for all. epa is also using science to address many of the issues wildfires

it is from the epa. it is inquiring about what is being done to ensure full transparency from grant recipients from those receiving the memo. i like to enter this into the record, dated april 13, 2020. it is management implication report disclosure form on researching grants. >> i am not quite sure if i know specifically what is in that memo. i can tell you that we have taken a number of steps to strengthen our research grants and disclosure requirements, consistent with the nda of 2021. we did respond toboth before they get the grant, and on an ongoing basis, once they receive those grants. we have responded to the suggestions there. >> exactly, that's what i want to hear. i yield the balance of my time. >>> and now recognize [ indiscernible ] for questioning. >>> good morning mr. administrator. i wanted to give you some accolades. you are the right person at the right time, leading your agency. we so appreciate your dedication to issues that are important to us in michigan. i will never forget being wi

the good thing is epa is listening. and by the way we didn't want to jeopardize this countries global competitiveness. we don't want to rely on china. we want to figure out how we can close the market with these technologies and these rules and provide long-term certainty for these long-term investments. >> hope you're right. as we see even this week forward was in the process of doing a big fight in michigan that was going to do batters but those in conjunction with the chinese manufacturer and investments and then you put the brakes on that. there's a lot of concern we are pushing at a pace that our own auto industry is not going to be able to keep up with. would you agree? >> listen, i would say we're in conversations. our auto industry spends three and $4 million running super bowl commercials by how quickly were going to electrify america. anthony also see the realities of the day-to-day providers. there's a reconciliation of what is truth versus what is advertisement and what we're capable of doing. we are current

yet epa allowed imidacloprid on the u.s. market a year later. after decades of exposure, the consequences epa scientists once warned about are now confirmed by the task force on systemic pesticides. >> and unfortunately, these chemicals are often, and i would say most of the time, released before there is adequate information to show whether they are harmful in the environment. i think neonicotinoids are a prime example of that. >> 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 pesticide is on the market may not be evaluated by epa until a pesticide comes up for review, a process that can take as long as 15 years. far

but you will deal with epa. in this case, it was not as good as it could be. the committee was at risk because of an accident. i'm sure people helped with this. i've had this in my own community, to have appropriate risk communications is absolutely essential. don't say something and then expand on a 24 hours later, react immediately, science, all these things. what expanse do you have in this? what risk communications put additional burdens on your state? you had your state entities reacting, your governor reacting. i am interested in the federal level of communication. >> thank you. we spent a lot of time thinking about this. only have one area that we deal with a lot, that is with pfs. as residents get testing, they find out they have high levels of pfs. want to make sure you are providing actionable science. , giving them what their options are and making sure they are not complicit. we try to spend a lot of time in advance. sometimes you don't have as much time to pointed out for east palestine. we answer b

epa in this case because you all deal with epa. this case, this was not as good as it could be. if you are in a community that is at risk because of an accident or a weather event, i'm sure you have all dealt with that. i've had this in my own community to have appropriate risk communications is essential. in other words don't say something and take it back react immediately, use science, all of these things. so i'm going to ask you, what experience do you have in this, and how do failures and risk communications additional burdens on your state? because you have your state entities reacting, your governor reacting, and understood in the federal level risk communication. >> thank you senator capito. this is something we spent a lot of time thinking about at the department because certainly when accidents happen or when you have one area that we deal with a lot, that is with pfas, because as residents get testing on their drinking water wells and find out they have high levels of pfas, you want to make sure you are providing folks w

john: last year, the epa proposed changes to the program, which covers about 12,000 u.s. locations. chemical industry largely supports the current epa risk management program, they worry that some of the proposed changes go too far. kimberly wise white is head of regulatory affairs at the american chemistry council. kimberly: they need to be very targeted on where there are accidents, where those accidents are driving risk and identifying those areas and really focusing on enhancements in the rmp program in that area. john: but nye says the revisns don't go far enough. maya: they have around 140 chemicals that are on this list that they implemented back in the 90's. and it hasn't really been updated since. john: currently, the program covers more than 250 substances that the epa says pose a significant hazard. not on the list: the ammonium nitrate that was stored at the winston weaver plant. [sirens] the same substance used in the 1995 oklahoma city federal building bombing, the deadliest homegrown terror attack in u.s. history. according to a north carolina regulators report, the a

a lot of us includes night vision so why does the epa need military equipment? camaro give the same answer i said before, i need to look into this particular issue and the reasoning behind enforcement arms making this integrated i would love to get back to you on that. >> you are not going to war against anyone? [laughter] >> there's no one to go into work against. i believe related constituencies are partners and we are trying to do these things together. >> how are americans supposed to feel about an agency? a lot ofan us feel our rights ae trampled on especially when you stock up on weapons so i love to have a detailed answer is that especially if there isn't a war on the horizon for the epa. >> absolutely. >> another area i want to go into, my background is tracking. i've been in the private sector 30 years and this is my first term in congress so spent my entire life in the trucking industry building the trucking industry with my wife. he proposed a new goal that will impose more burden on the commercial industry so do you have your way, new standards willr

if you add up the total spending for nih and cdc and the epa and social security administration, it's 58 ilion dollars below the deal. in addition to that, they cut back a bunch of other types of spending by 94 billion dollars. that's like underfunding the deal by $152 billion. within the last week and the speaker mccarthy has indicated they are planning to do another $60 billion beyond that and they have locked in around five ilion dollars but we will see where the rest comes from. that's why we are in a difficult situation. house republicans have created these massive cuts compared to what the deal was six months ago. host: you can ask about the funding process, (202) 748-8000 for republicans, (202) 748-8001 for democrats and independents (202) 748-8002. you can text us your thoughts at journal@c-span.org (202) 748-8003. are there differences between with the senate versus the house? guest: the senate has begun its process. it has marked them up and they had major bipartisan support. they were working on moving a minibus and i think they had 89 or 91 senators for a motion for clotur

people still have to decide how it was broken down and how much of it would go to epa or nasa and that sort of stuff but the top line that was agreed to. folks were supposed to begin writing bills at that level. part of the reason we are in such a difficult place now is the senate on a bipartisan basis started writing stuff slightly higher but the house wrote stuff significantly low the deal. when we say yes, they are going through the those, it's true but part of the issue is the bill they are writing severely under fund the deal that was agreed to a couple of months ago. host: part of your analysis, you made some statements and i want to read some of them and get you to clarify and elaborate on them. can we start with $58 billion for nondefense bills? guest: there was a deal that was agreed to with the majority of house and senate republicans voted for it spearheaded by speaker mccarthy. that total level is for government spending. it was already a strict spending cap. it was going to reduce nondefensive discretionary money by $49 billion. then, the house republican appropriations bi

like aldo trying to put out a brush fire and, but -- and in 1972, william ruckel, the first epa administrator appointed by richard nixon took a very brave move. a lot of pressure on him know the to do this and ban the sale of ddt in the united states. really opening the way up for the restoration of many bird populations such as the pelican and the bald eagle and falcons and merlins and others. >> patrick, in your book about mark catesby, you didn't have a plethora of original sources or letters that mark left behind. you do a splendid job researching and putting context in and around that period of time in england and in early charleston, but talk a bit about, i guess, that struggle and how you overcame it in bringing your subject to life in the book and then walking us through his life until his death, i believe, at the age of 66. >> sure. before i do that, i do want to say that i wanted to mention jack knows this pretty well, but catesby's first plate in the natural history of carolina was the bald eagle. speaking of ecological relationships, the bald eagle persuaded an osprey to gift the

i'm the policy director at epa and i am part of the cit working group. and i can't say enough good things about this unit. they're wonderful people. they are the change we are looking for here within sfpd. they're collaborative, kind, smart. and i like to have to see two women up here presenting. and sergeant collins, modest, but she's now, i think, the commanding officer of the unit. so we are happy to have her. one thing that i think is overlooked is the amount of community policing this unit does. and this list was prepared for a meeting that we had with chief scott. but i think lieutenant molina prepared it. but this is some of the outside trainings that the cit unit does in the community. the sf sro provides was west side clinic, behavioral health services and sf providers golden gate bridge patrol, yerba buena gardens conservancy. see the ambassador program, the alert program, police activities league cadet program, the progress foundation and providers as ucsf fellow program philz coffee personnel hyatt hotel security personnel and citywide staff.

epa. the epa has responsibility under the clean water act, to make sure our country's water remains safe and clean. naturally, the polluters and their front groups hate this. so, in sackett they asked the court to narrow, as much as possible, which waters the epa could protect under the clean water act. the front groups had their fingerprints all over this case. to start, the attorneys who brought the case came from the pacific legal foundation. because it's a dark money group, it's impossible to know exactly who funds the pacific legal foundation, but in the past it's received money from the likes of exxonmobil, the koch brothers political apparatus, and other groups that fund climate denial. a great many of these cases that bring engineer the flotillas of billionaire-funded amici are not brought up through regular litigation. they're brought by these front groups, teed up by front groups who bring in plaintiffs of convenience to bring a particular question up before the captured court. a
