House Republicans are again taking aim at the Clean Air Act, citing the need to bolster the United States’ global competitiveness.
The Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Environment will hold a hearing this week titled “Short-Circuiting Progress: How the Clean Air Act Impacts Building Necessary Infrastructure and Onshoring American Innovation.”
“American innovation should not be stifled by unreasonable government red tape and regulatory overreach,” said committee Chair Brett Guthrie (R-Ky.) and subcommittee Chair Morgan Griffith (R-Va.) in a statement.

The hearing will be the latest in recent years to focus on various aspects of the landmark environmental law, which was last amended in 1990.
