Our Analysis:
The analysis must estimate the rules’ impact on US global economic competitiveness, the cost of electricity and fuel, employment, and the reliability of bulk power. The bill also requires discussion of the impact on consumers, small business, regional economies, state, local, and tribal governments, local an industry-specific labor markets and agriculture.
The bill also increases and extends appropriations of diesel emissions reductions for FY 2012-2016 as set forth in the Energy Policy Act of 2005.
