Epa is prepared to report summarizing the small entity outreach to date. The results of this outreach and how these results have been formed in the development of the proposed rule. Since publishing the rule, most recently the agencies participated in an epasponsored round table on september 4. We look forward to continuing these efforts in the future and before we finalize the rule and during the remainder of the Public Comment period as we write the final rule. Thank you, again, and ill be happy to answer your questions, mr. Chairman. Thank you, i appreciate it. Congresswoman mccarthy recently visited my state and she was talking about the waters in her state and she made this statement about concerned farmers and others i want to make sure i say it right that the proposed rules and the concerns about the proposed rules are silly and ludicrous, which i will submit the concerns of farmers and Small Businesses and everybody out there are certainly not silly and ludicrous.

With that i thank the current administrator perciasepe for his participation today and i yield back the balance of my time. Thank you. Thank you.

This is an hour and a half. Good afternoon, everyone. Well bring the hearing to order. Iptd to thank everyone for being here. The mission of the epa is from text human health and the environment. Lately the epa has ventured well beyond its mission. In recent rulemakings its recent rule makes are an unprecedented power grab thats infringing on the rights of individuals and Small Business owners.
