Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Abolishing the Council on Environmental Quality: Hearing Before the Committee on Environment and Public Works, United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session, on Section 112 of S. 171 Termination of the Council on Environmental Quality and Transfer of Functions, April 1, 1993 The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 9:45 a. m. in room SD-406, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. Max Baucus [chairman of the committee] presiding. Present: Senators Baucus, Durenberger, Boxer, Faircloth, Wofford, and Chafee. Opening Statement Of Hon. Max Baucus, U. S. Senator From The State Of Montana Senator Baucus. I am pleased to welcome back Administrator Browner to the committee. This is becoming a daily occurrence, Ms. Browner. Today the committee will consider an important part of the President´s effort to streamline the Federal Government. In February, the President announced that he was reorganizing the environmental functions of the Executive Office of the President. The objectives were simple: to save money and reduce the number of White House employees. As part of this effort, the President proposed to disband the Council on Environmental Quality, shift some of its functions to the new cabinet-level Department of Environment, and retain the rest of its functions in a leaner White House Office of Environmental Policy. By doing so, the President´s proposal will save over $2.5 million and eliminate 31 personnel slots. At the same time, the proposal raises several questions and we´re here to address them. The Council on Environmental Quality coordinates the Government´s compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act, which some call the Magna Carta of Federal environmental law. We must be careful in considering how this important function will be handled if CEQ is abolished. That´s the purpose of today´s hearing. Three main concerns have been raised. First, whether one Federal agency, the Department of Environment, can effectively supervise NEPA compliance by other agencies. Under the President´s proposal, the new department will be responsible for issuing NEPA regulations and making sure that other agencies comply. This is not an entirely new role.
