On behalf of the undersigned organizations, we write to express our strong support for the reauthorization of expiring State and Tribal Assistance Grant (STAG) funding and financing programs, including the Drinking Water and Clean Water State Revolving Funds (SRFs).  Our nation’s water infrastructure is essential to the strength of American communities. For close to 85 years, Congress has provided federal funds to municipalities to address local water quality challenges. Since the inception of the SRFs, Congress has worked with the U.S.

On behalf of the over 500 members of the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA), we urge you to swiftly pass the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2026. This critical legislation ensures continued government funding that our industry depends on to keep construction moving forward by preventing further disruption to federal project funding and payments, and regulatory and permitting bottlenecks.

Modern, safe, and efficient infrastructure is the backbone of American commerce and daily life. Recent investment in the nation’s roads, bridges, and public transit systems has enabled safety enhancements and mobility improvements across the country. While progress has been made, much work remains.  The undersigned organizations are united in commitment to work with Congress and the Trump administration to build on this progress and enact a new surface transportation law before the Sept. 30, 2026, deadline.  

We write to urge you to take meaningful and bipartisan action to pass comprehensive permitting reform. The time has come to modernize our nation’s permitting systems so that our communities can build the infrastructure necessary to grow our economy, create good-paying jobs, and meet the challenges of today and tomorrow.

On behalf of the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA), I write to express our strong support for Representative Marc Molinaro to serve as the next Administrator of the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). NSSGA proudly represents more than 530 members, including aggregates producers, as well as manufacturers of equipment and services that support the construction industry. Our members form the foundation of the U.S. infrastructure sector, accounting for over 90 percent of the nation’s annual crushed stone production and 70 percent of sand and gravel.

On behalf of the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA) and our member companies that supply essential construction materials for the infrastructure, energy and agriculture sectors, I am writing to express our strong support for the Standardizing Permitting and Expediting Economic Development (SPEED) Act. This legislation clarifies the analysis required under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), enabling agencies to better balance environmental protection with economic development. 

On behalf of the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA) and our member companies that supply critical construction materials for roads, infrastructure, energy, and agriculture, I write to express strong support for H.R. 3898, the Promoting Efficient Review for Modern Infrastructure Today (PERMIT) Act. This bill will streamline the Clean Water Act (CWA) permitting process and reduce bureaucratic red tape. We commend your leadership in advancing commonsense reforms that protect water quality, while supporting essential domestic infrastructure.

As Chair of the Waters Advocacy Coalition (WAC) I write to express strong support for H.R. 3898, the Promoting Efficient Review for Modern Infrastructure Today (PERMIT) Act, on behalf of our member associations. This legislation is essential to providing clarity and certainty within the Clean Water Act (CWA) permitting process for landowners and other regulated entities across the country.

On behalf of the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA), I am writing to express our support for the Senate’s amendment to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). NSSGA encourages the House to pass this package promptly to meet President Trump’s July 4th deadline. These policies will ultimately strengthen the aggregates industry and the American economy, while providing certainty to the business community.

The undersigned organizations, representing millions of Main Street businesses operating in every community in America, express our strong support for making permanent and expanding the Section 199A deduction from 20 to 23 percent. Expanding Section 199A will help preserve tax parity between pass-through businesses and larger public corporations while helping ensure the Senate bill does not raise taxes on millions of Main Street businesses.
