House Democrats Block GOP Efforts To Limit EPA Authority In FY11 Bill

摘要

House Democrats rejected several Republican amendments to EPA's fiscal year 2011 spending bill aimed at limiting the agency's regulatory authority on air, greenhouse gas (GHG) and other regulations, voting down the riders at an appropriations subcommittee markup before approving the bill that funds EPA slightly below FY10 levels.rnThe bill would award EPA $10.01 billion, a slight drop from the agency's FY10 enacted amount of $10.29 billion and almost identical to President Obama's requested FY11 amount of $10.02 billion.
