WASHINGTON, D.C. – Following tonight’s procedural vote to advance the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026 to full floor consideration, Rich Nolan, President and CEO of the National Mining Association issued the following comment:
“With the permitting bill passing its first critical test, we urge Congress to embrace the solution that Americans have been asking for and businesses need. The nation’s ability to build, advance, compete and keep costs down depends on having reliable access to the minerals and infrastructure our economy needs to grow. The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act would unlock the potential that exists here at home, while maintaining the rigor of existing environmental reviews. This is the time to make sure made in America is also mined in America, and this is the bill to get us there.”
