Keystone State's \ Official / FISHING BOATING ) Magazine... ^J 25< ^•••^••••^^•••^^••r Single Copy CONSERVATION VIEWPOINT by ROBERT J. BIELO Executive Director SILENT MAJORITY MUST STAND The decade of the 70's should be one of great progress in advancing far-reaching pro­ grams to preserve our environment—not simply for the sake of conservation, but for the urgent need of mankind to have clean air and water and productive soil. Stronger state and national legislation has been signed into law to protect our environ­ ment for our own benefit. Now what we need are leaders at national, state and local levels that have the courage to implement these laws. Certainly changes won't be effected over­ night, correcting years of air, water and land abuse. But, we should see progress in the environmental cleanup program occur at a rate that exceeds the new levels of damage civilization manages to inflict on the essential elements of our existence. Throughout the coming months I hope to use this column to present some comments on advances in environmental protection and also to point out areas where we may be slid­ ing backward. I plan to do this as I believe that we, the silent majority President Nixon is relying on to support his national and worldwide programs, must also be the underlying strength in environmental protection efforts. As an example we must stand together and speak out clearly, not only as states, but as a nation against the industrial giants whose reaction to pollution cleanup measures occasionally takes the form of threats to close down and leave town. The most recent and most outrageous threat of this kind came from a major copper pro­ ducer as they were dedicating a new plant in New Mexico. A top official of the Phelps- Dodge Corp. threatened closure of company smelters in Arizona if forced to undertake cleanup measures he, presumably, thought were uneconomical for the company. It's against this kind of attitude that the silent majority must speak out. Certainly this company is not going to close profitable operations in Arizona and absorb the high cost of transporting copper ore elsewhere for processing. And what other state in the nation would want the vile and toxic fumes spewed across its lands by the copper smelters? None, I would think and surely Arizona, where they advertise their clean bright air as a major asset of the state cannot afford to let one company call its bluff or ruin its environment. Let's hope the silent majority in Arizona gets its back up and takes action to control the environmental pollution from the copper smelters as we are doing in Pennsylvania with acid mine drainage—which for years industry said they could not afford to treat, but are now treating successfully and economically. ^UJIVE OFFICE PENNSYLVANIA ExZ, arnsb"rg> P*- 17120 42ffi J- BI£LO Ri?rr?tiue Secretary W Rector, Fisheries Ass (Vaoant ANGLER istant n ) AssL °: K LEISING PENNSYLVANIA'S OFFICIAL FISHING AND BOATING MAGAZINE ^ttHEN W.

The travel and tourism industry—including but not limited to transportation, lodging, recreation and entertainment, food and beverage, meetings, conferences and business events, travel advisors, destination marketers—is comprised of businesses of all sizes, but the vast majority, 83%, are small businesses. Together we are grappling with the immediate and devastating impact of the current health crisis. Furloughs of American travel workers are happening right now. Travel to and within the United States has essentially ground to a stop due to the actions needed to halt the spread of coronavirus. Aggressive financial relief is needed immediately. Taking care of our employees will always be our top priority, but the hard fact is we cannot continue supporting them through this disaster without relief. To that end, we greatly appreciate and strongly support provisions in the ‘‘Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act’’ that provide: • $300 billion for enhanced Small Business Administration (SBA) loans distributed through an expedited process and can be partially forgiven for employee retention; and • Tax relief to mitigate economic losses, including deferral of tax liability, extension of the Net Operating Loss deduction, and delay of estimated tax payments.

Gosar for Katharine MacGregor, Acting Assistant Secretary 1. Does BOEM consider impacts to microorganisms (or plankton) when completing Programmatic Environmental Impact Statements for OCS G&G activities? Response: Yes. BOEM considers impacts to microorganisms, such as plankton, when completing a PEIS for OCS G&G activities. It is important to look at potential effects to all levels of the ocean food chain. Recently, a study offshore Tasmania, Australia tested the potential impacts of seismic airguns on zooplankton. It found significant plankton mortality at greater distances from airgm1 arrays in near-shore, shallow environments than previously thought possible. BOEM has examined the study methods and results and determined that further study is needed before determining direct application of these study results to the offshore, deeper water environments of the U.S.
