The TRAIN Act would provide for just such a review and analysis. Additionally, it would allow for a more open and transparent evaluation process when these rule makings are proposed. Despite the rhetoric from some in the Administration, the threat to our economy from the EPA is serious and must be addressed. The U.S. House of Representatives has done its part to ensure that the EPA would not be given a blank check to im- pose job-killing rules on American businesses. Now it is the U.S. Senate’s turn to act on this legislation and put an end to the overly burdensome regulation that is perva- sive in the nation’s capital. The TRAIN Act provides a unique opportunity to speak with one voice and get our country on the right track. We should be in the business of creating jobs, not destroying them with more and more unnecessary government regulation and red tape.
