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.

On behalf of the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA), I am writing to express our support for the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. NSSGA encourages the Senate to pass this package in a timely manner. These policies will ultimately strengthen the aggregates industry and the American economy. NSSGA proudly represents over 500 members consisting of aggregates producers and the manufacturers of equipment and services that support the construction industry. Together, our members form the backbone of the U.S.

On behalf of the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA), I write to express our strong support for Adam Telle to be Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works. Mr. Telle knows firsthand how the work of the Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) will impact the lives of people in the United States and worldwide. His decades of public service have demonstrated a strong commitment to the safety, security and prosperity of the many Americans who benefit from the ports, waterways and flood control infrastructure maintained by the Corps across our nation.

Investing in the nation’s infrastructure provides far-reaching economic benefits. Recent congressional support for roads, bridges and public transportation systems has helped deliver much-needed projects to every congressional district across the country. These improvements have enhanced safety, mobility and efficiency nationwide. These outcomes are made possible by the continuity and predictability of funding supported by a healthy Highway Trust Fund (HTF).

The undersigning construction trade groups appreciate Congress’s work on tax reform via the Budget Reconciliation process, and endorses the One, Big, Beautiful Bill that the House passed last week. While there are many tax reforms outlined in the bill, the highway construction industry would like to share insights on policy that support our industry’s growth and ensure viable longterm federal infrastructure investment.
