AFPM and API respond to passage of H.R. 1.

“H.R. 1 is an investment in US energy security. Fuel and petrochemical manufacturers, and the energy infrastructure companies that make it possible to get our feedstocks and products from point A to point B, welcome the additional clarity and regulatory certainty this legislation will provide. We are especially appreciative of Representative Dan Crenshaw’s legislation in H.R. 1 to protect US fuel refineries and their ability to produce gasoline here. Through the inclusion of this provision Congress will correct a glaring problem in the proposed updates to EPA’s Risk Management Plan that would impose massive costs on the refining industry and potentially threaten a significant share of US fuel production capacity without any measurable safety benefits.”

Meanwhile, the American Petroleum Institute issued the following statement in response to the energy package:

“We applaud the House of Representatives for passing H.R. 1, commonsense legislation that puts our nation’s energy security front and centre. It is clear now that both Republicans and Democrats share the common goal of providing reliable energy to Americans and making energy safer, cleaner, and more affordable. This is a positive step towards enacting serious, bipartisan permitting reform and we look forward to continuing to collaborate on real solutions that will modernise our infrastructure and benefit all Americans.”
