Last week, NRMCA communicated to the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a lengthy list of regulations ripe for withdrawal and amendment. The submission was in response to OMB’s request for information (RFI) notice published back in April. OMB’s RFI solicited “proposals to rescind or replace regulations that stifle American businesses and American ingenuity… where costs exceed benefits, where the regulation is outdated or unnecessary, or where regulation is burdening American businesses in unforeseen ways.”
NRMCA detailed regulations that covered environment, labor, safety, taxes and trucking issues that have burdened the ready mixed concrete industry. Remedies for the various regulations highlighted are aimed at reducing costs for concrete delivery and production operations, regulatory clarity and regulatory practicality. Similar regulatory issues were also communicated earlier this year to the Trump Administration transition team prior to President Trump’s inauguration. Since the new Administration came into office, the ready mixed concrete industry has seen movement on roughly 60% of these targeted regulations.
