The undersigned organizations, representing millions of Main Street businesses operating in every industry and community in America, applaud the Department of the Treasury (Department) and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) for issuing the interim final rule on March 21, 2025, which revises the beneficial ownership information (BOI) reporting requirements under the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA).

The undersigned associations ("Associations") appreciate the opportunity to comment on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (the Service) proposed rule (FWS-R3-ES-2024-0137) titled, "Threatened Species Status with Section 4(d) Rule for Monarch Butterfly and Designation of Critical Habitat."

The Waters Advocacy Coalition (WAC) applauds your leadership in holding today’s hearing on “America Builds: Clean Water Act Permitting and Project Delivery.” WAC represents a large and diverse cross-section of the nation’s broad business community, including the construction, transportation, real estate, mining, manufacturing, forestry, agriculture, energy, wildlife conservation, and public health and safety sectors.

The undersigned diverse group of construction and business associations—whose membership employs millions of construction industry professionals who successfully build and rebuild America— write to ask you to eliminate President Biden’s Executive Order 14063 and related final rule requiring federal construction contracts of $35 million or more to be subjected to divisive project labor agreements.

We respectfully request that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) withdraw the December 13, 2024 proposed Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) for stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity.1 We are extremely disappointed in this proposal for several reasons, most importantly that it imposes substantial additional costs on small businesses without any evident additional benefits.2 The next Administration should have the opportunity to thoroughly re-examine this proposal, using the Executive Order 12866 review process.

The undersigned organizations, representing millions of Main Street businesses operating in every industry and community in America, applaud the Department for its swift action in pausing the Corporate Transparency Act’s (CTA) reporting requirements while a nationwide court order remains in place, and respectfully ask that you strengthen this action by administratively extending the CTA filing deadline until at least January 1, 2026.

We therefore offer the following comments on specific elements of the draft documents.
