>> so we are doing a number of things including fra, fta and the highway division. with the highway division specifically on project delivery we are looking at the expanded use of categorical exclusions. we have through our bureau alluded to earlier, we are also working on speeding up the permitting process by incorporating concurrent reviews in the work so that there are fewer documents flowing between agencies and government, we're using one table to make these decisions which actually helps speed up the time. those are two of the proof points of what we're trying to accomplish and there are many more and i would be happy to give you a more elaborate answer. >> very good. i'm going to move on from the safety issues with rail but we've just gotten a statewide rail director appointed who is coordinating these efforts, and so i hope your department will work with her. i put a provision in there about the rail crossings and obviously you and i have talked about this in the past but it's something continues to be of concern. takata, i've been long called for a recall.

of little recognized of the affordable care act, one which a joke when i first learned this was an fta responsibility and the bill, i thought this a big pretty straightforward. internet to be incredibly complicated determine what in establishmentike was. in all honesty it was one of the areas that almost quit over because of fights around whether movie theater food should receive menu labeling. >> can i stop you? i was involved in directly with that because a movie theater will get the vast majority of the revenues from the food that they serve, not from the tickets they sell. so that's why they were effected. >> and they have menu boards and they frankly have food that the public should know how calorie, fat and sodium and sugar dense they are. >> remind them. >> movie theaters were in the final, so delighted about that. but also fda does play an important role in terms of what is in processed food. for example, a move to reduce to the greatest degree possible trans fat in foods which is linked to serious disease and heart disease is a leading cause of preventable death and disability

so for the non-fta countries, these are the countries we for the face. that's we currently face. >> thank you. michael froman: gentleman in the fourth row. >> i was wondering if you could talk a bit about where we are with congress and to keep the -- and tpp, relating to the financial services. if you could speak to the brexit a little bit. i know you met with the commissioner yesterday, and given the state of the european union, if that deal is still possible this year. michael froman: in terms of the status of tpp with congress, we are continuing to consult the leadership of congress, the leadership of the trade committees, finance committee. to determine the best way to move forward. we are at the same time working to resolve outstanding issues. we are working with the dairy sector and their support of the agreement with pork producers, now supporting the agreement. there has been work done between treasury and the regulators on the financial services, data flow, localization issue. i like where that is heading. it has basically been resolved in a pos

>> so we're doing a number of things really across a variety of modes including fra, fta and the highway division. but with the highway division specifically on project delivery we are looking at the expanded use of categorical exclusions. we have through our bureau that was alluded to earlier we are also working on speeding up the permitting process by incorporating more concurrent reviews in the work so that there are fewer documents flowing between agencies and government. we're using one table to make these decisions which actually helps speed up the time. those are two of the proof points of what we're trying to accomplish and there are many more and i'd be happy to give you a more elaborate answer. >> very good. i'm going to move on from the safety issues with rail but we've just gotten a statewide rail director appointed who is coordinating these efforts, and so i hope your department will work with her. i put a provision in there about the rail crossings, and obviously you and i have talked about in the past but it'sing? that continues to be a concern. takata, i've been long call

fta's mobility on demand program has an $8 million sand box which will help public industries to partner with emerging options. fhwa is operating three connected vehicles pilots to speed truck movement in southern wyoming, to improve pedestrian safety in new york city and test mobility apps in tampa. we've developed the fratus which is demonstrating how sensors and date. secretary foxx announced the winner of the smart city challenge, a national competition to transform one mid sized city using advanced data and technology. columbus ohio will receive $40 million from us and a host of partners. the city will deploy electronic self driving shuttles to connect the residents to the dot line and sensors on the city fleet to improve safety and invest in truck platooning and make it easier for delivery vehicles to find parking on city streets and particularly healthcare scheduling to help address high rates of infant mortality. 78 cities applied. each created a blueprint for the future on city streets. the biggest lesson is technology deployment is not an end to itself but rather a means to bui

based on this data, only one-third of the cdbg-dr funds have been disbursed and only 13% of the fta fundsave been paid out. now, this may be worth looking in to in greater detail and it certainly shows why a comprehensive look in to disaster spending as well as cost and losses is needed. in an era of growing government debt, we need to ensure federal spending is necessary and cost effective. right after i became a member of congress in 2011, my own district was hit hard by hurricane irene and tropical storm lee. i remember in bloomsburg a family stayed in their home to try to move their possessions to an upper floor. but fishing creek rose too quickly. the house next to theirs was knocked from its foundation. water started gushing through their front windows as they called for help. they had to be safed by a helicopter. the woman there told me she could never live in that home again. i will never forget that, preparing for natural disasters is about more than the loss of possessions. it's our friends and neighbors' lives that could be at stake if we do not plan in advance. as we were rebu

i had a good chance to work with him both on the fta, the korean free trade agreement as well as negotiations with brazil. and so we're very fortunate that he's with us here today. so mike, would you please come up and then we'll have some questions yards. afterwards. [ applause ] >> thanks very much, bill. and it's an honor to be here to talk about the importance of u.s. leadership at this distinguished group. i think the title for this previous session of multilateral cooperation in a turbulent world seems to be particularly timely at the moment. in many parts of the global economy, growth is uneven and weak. in china progress on reform seems uncertain. russia and brazil face head winds. and in europe, the lingering effects of the financial crisis and now the vote by the british people to leave the european union, these are turbulent times indeed. one of the greatest concerns that we have is that in the last couple of years global trade has slowed, rather than driving growth trade is groig at a lower pace than the economy. if full employment is to be achieved in a peaceful world with standa

would have been we're looking to the board to close it this out we're in line with dpw and ada and fta this site looks at good we're looking to close out at the direction of board tonight thank you. >> thank you thank you. >> your number is different than the d s he said 5 at 21 hundred. >> that was the delta so i think the confusing thing with the board is trying to follow kind of a rule book book with the city an in lui fee which is 1890 and the delta of planting a 36 inch tree and a 60 inch my understanding the 36 tree is 29 hundred to plant and a 60 is 5 thousand that is the delta of 10 thousand 5 hundred we were supposed to plant 60 inch but if you calculate it a number of ways the 5 for 5 the delta is 10 thousand nine hundred or add up you know the total that we spent which is 9 times 2 nine hundred versus 4 times 75 hundred we're looking for a way to close this out and have the board make a discussion how we want to do so. >> are you fine with the 10 thousand 5 hundred number that the department has come up with. >> yeah. i mean we spent a bunch of money applying to sfmta and ph
