The Promoting New Manufacturing Act (H.R. 4795), which passed the House with bipartisan support, seeks to reduce permitting delays in the preconstruction permitting process at the EPA, as well as increase transparency in that process. “American manufacturing is the cornerstone of economic recovery and has a vital impact on the 3rd District and State of Colorado,” said Tipton. “By eliminating unnecessary delays at the EPA, domestic manufacturers will be able get faster permit approval to responsibly move forward with construction of new facilities, that once opened, will provide new jobs and opportunities here at home and across the nation. Any steps that can be taken to encourage economic growth and increased manufacturing must be a priority for Washington, and I urge our colleagues over in the Senate to quickly act on this needed manufacturing legislation.” Tipton has worked with manufacturers across the 3rd District including EVRAZ, GCC, Rocla, and UTC Aerospace Systems in Pueblo and Lewis Engineering, CAPCO, Leitner-Poma and Ross Reels on the West Slope, to identify issues and ways the federal government can work to foster economic growth and increased manufacturing. Additionally, Tipton has held numerous manufacturing roundtables and job fairs in the district, and championed pro-growth policies in the House Committee on Small Business and in the Congressional Small Business Caucus of which he is a co-founder. Background courtesy of the Committee on Energy and Commerce: H.R. 4795 would: Create a dashboard to provide increased transparency regarding the timing for permitting. This will provide the public with access to information regarding the number of permits issued annually and timelines for final preconstruction permit decisions. Reduce permitting delays by ensuring EPA provides timely guidance about how to comply with new or revised air quality standards affecting the permit applications. Promote more efficient processing of permits by requiring the EPA provide to Congress annually a report on the actions being taken by the agency to expedite the permitting process. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
