Congressman Mike Rogers made the following statement today after H.R. 4775, the Ozone Standards Implementation Act of 2016, passed the House of Representatives today, with his strong support.

This legislation would extend the implementation deadlines for the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) costly ozone standards. Studies by the EPA have shown ozone levels have dramatically declined since 1980.

“The legislation passed today would delay more EPA regulatory burdens placed on our job creators. This bill also would require EPA Administrator McCarthy to consider feasibility when revising any National Ambient Air Quality Standards, a requirement that will halt out-of-control rule making by the EPA. This bill is a common sense way to fight against the President’s costly environmental agenda and I was pleased to support it,” Rogers said.
