On behalf of the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA) and our partner associations, which represent the aggregates industry in their respective states, we urge the Senate to act quickly and in a bipartisan manner to pass comprehensive permitting reform. It is time to modernize our nation’s permitting systems so our communities can build the infrastructure needed to grow our economy, create good-paying jobs and meet the challenges of today and tomorrow.

On behalf of the undersigned organizations, we urge you to prioritize and pass bipartisan, comprehensive permitting reform legislation as early this year as possible. Communities across America are counting on Congress to deliver a modernized, efficient, predictable, and transparent permitting process—one that provides the project certainty needed to secure investment today, unlock economic growth, and foster innovation that creates opportunity and a stronger future for families and neighborhoods.

On behalf of millions of small businesses across the country, we write to thank you for prioritizing legislation to provide regulatory relief and red tape for small businesses. We urge the House of Representatives to pass legislation, such as H.R. 1163 the Prove It Act of 2025, to strengthen the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) and ensure the intent of the law is fulfilled. Small businesses were forced to deal with a tsunami of new regulations coming from Washington, D.C. over four years under the Biden Administration.

The undersigned organizations, representing millions of Main Street businesses operating in every industry and community in America, urge the Department of the Treasury to immediately purge the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) database of all beneficial ownership information submitted by domestic entities that are no longer required to file. We also ask that you move quickly to promulgate the final rule exempting US businesses from the reporting requirement. Last year, the Administration took the important step of narrowing the CTA's scope to apply to foreign entities only.

 The undersigned organizations write to express strong support for the passage of H.R. 4776, the “Standardizing Permitting and Expediting Economic Development Act,” or the “SPEED Act.” By modernizing the permitting process, this legislation will help advance infrastructure, energy, natural resource, transportation, and other projects that improve quality of life, revitalize communities, and deliver the goods and services families rely on every day.

On behalf of the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA), the American Cement Association (ACA), National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA), National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA) and our member companies that supply critical construction materials for roads, infrastructure, energy and agriculture, we write to express our strong support for two bipartisan bills being considered on the House floor this week: the SPEED Act and the PERMIT Act.

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.
