“From his first days in office, President Trump demonstrated support for U.S. manufacturing by directing his Administration to expedite permits for modernizing or constructing efficient and globally competitive manufacturing facilities and to reduce unwarranted regulatory burdens.

We applaud sustainable regulation that promotes both economic and environmental progress for our nation.” Click Read More below for additional information.
