Biden's 'regulatory regime' is costings manufacturers thousands and giving
countries like China an advantage: NAM president

FIRST ON FOX: One hundred and thirty-one manufacturing organizations
penned a letter to the White House pleading with President Biden's
administration to curb the overwhelming amount of federal regulations
costing manufacturing companies thousands at levels unseen from any prior
administrations, the largest U.S. manufacturing association head told Fox
News.

"We've never seen this level before in any administration," President and
CEO of the National Association of Manufacturers Jay Timmons said. "We
want to call attention to the barrage of regulations that manufacturers
are facing right now."

OVER 100 MANUFACTURERS' SEND A LETTER TO THE WHITE HOUSE TO STOP THE
�REGULATORY ONSLAUGHT�. WATCH:

The National Association of Manufacturers, representing small and large
manufacturers in all 50 states, launched the Manufacturers for Sensible
Regulations coalition on Thursday to address the "onslaught" of federal
regulations negatively impacting the industry. Members of the coalition
sent a letter to Biden's Chief of Staff Jeff Zients to express their
concerns, and request the White House designate a senior-level advisor to
work with agencies and manufacturers to ensure achievable regulatory
practices moving forward.

The onslaught of new federal regulations is "chilling manufacturing
investment, curtailing manufacturers� ability to hire new workers and
suppressing wage growth, especially for the small and medium-sized
manufacturers that are the backbone of the supply chain," the letter read.

"Regulations create tremendous uncertainty, which can stall or even
prevent manufacturers from growing their workforce, purchasing equipment,
conducting research and development and investing in their communities,"
the letter read. "This puts manufacturers in the U.S. at a competitive
disadvantage with countries such as China, threatening America�s global
leadership."

Timmons told Fox News NAM has been monitoring and engaging in the
regulatory process across 30 agencies.

"It's really the volume and the number that are challenging. We're not
saying don't regulate," Timmons said. "But sometimes we are seeing
regulatory agencies kind of reaching for the stars and for something that
may sound really great in a press release, but is simply not achievable."

Already, manufacturers are feeling the time and financial consequences of
these overwhelming regulations. More than 63 percent of manufacturers
reported spending over 2,000 hours per year complying with federal
regulations, and more than 17 percent exceeded 10,000 hours, according to
the National Association of Manufacturers� Q2 2023 Manufacturers� Outlook
Survey released in June.

"It's this type of a burden that puts a chill on investment," Timmons
said.

Business concerns also climbed to the highest level in six years, with 65
percent of manufacturers saying they would purchase more capital equipment
if the regulatory burden decreased and 46.9 percent saying they would
increase compensation, according to the June NAM survey. Additionally,
43.2 percent of manufacturers surveyed would hire more workers, 40.1
percent would invest more in research and 38.1 percent would expand their
facilities.

"What we're seeing is we're seeing a lot of small manufacturers say, 'we
just can't do this anymore, we can't make this particular product that is
so essential for the supply chain,'" he said. "Or in some cases we see
them say 'we're going to just pack it up, or even we're going to let
others in China or other countries around the world make these products
because we simply can't do it anymore.'"

AMERICANS FROM HUNTING�

Despite these challenges, Timmons praised some of the Biden
administration's legislation directed at growing the manufacturing
industry, including the 2022 Chips and Science Act which boosted funding
for semiconductor manufacturing and research. He also said Biden added key
energy provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act and initial permitting
reforms in the Fiscal Responsibility Act that helped the manufacturing
industry.

"But even though that's a great forward-looking agenda, a lot of the
regulatory agencies are creating impediments to allowing that to happen,"
Timmons said. "It's never easy to deal with a regulatory regime."

Some Republican lawmakers and other manufacturing industry groups have
criticized federal regulations in recent months for increasing industry
costs, among other concerns. And some of the more concerning federal
regulations under consideration, according to Timmons, were the
Environmental Protection Agency's limit on ethylene oxide � a gas used for
food safety and to sterilize medical devices � and the Securities and
Exchange Commission's regulation on Scope 3 emissions.

Coalition-Letter.pdf

"Businesses need to be at the table when some of these decisions are being
made, so we can simply provide pragmatic solutions," he said. "If you had
that kind of coordination, that would better help to bring the whole
government together � for the same objectives."

"I think this is a message that is coming across loudly and clearly," to
the Biden administration, Timmons said. "Keep doing the good things to
advance manufacturing, but make sure that the entire government is focused
on the same agenda."
