A new EPA rule on Waters of the U.S. is "burdensome and unnecessary" and impedes America’s efforts to realize our full energy potential, according to the American Pipeline Contractors Association.
"APCA strongly opposes the recent EPA announcement of a final rule on Waters of the United States (WOTUS) and repeal of the Navigable Waters Protection Rule (NWPR)," the association said in a statement. "This ill-advised and poorly timed announcement only adds burdensome and unnecessary regulations to the process. Permitting reform and similar regulatory updates are necessary to unlock America’s full energy potential, and this decision moves us in the wrong direction. With a case affecting WOTUS regulations pending before the Supreme Court, this decision injects confusion into what should be a busy year of construction. APCA urges the Biden Administration to roll back this regulation as soon as possible and asks Congress to undertake meaningful action to reform the pipeline permitting process as a top priority."

In comments to the Biden administration on October 18, the American Pipeline Contractors Association strongly objected to the proposed use of government-mandated Project Labor Agreements on federal construction contracts of $35 million or more.
"The proposed PLA rule on federal contracts over $35 million will reduce competition and drive up costs for the American taxpayer, resulting in a far slower rate of pipeline buildouts and upgrades needed to serve American families and businesses. For these reasons, the hard-working men and women who build America's vital energy pipelines strongly oppose the proposed PLA rule," APCA stated.
