Trade Promotion Authority Passes, Sent to President’s Desk
Trade Promotion Authority finally made it to the President’s desk, with bipartisan Support. Passing by a vote of 60-38, the TPA legislation is a fundamental step to securing future free-trade deals that will allow beef producers greater access to foreign markets. Cattlemen and women have seen tremendous value in trade, exporting over $7.1 billion worth of U.S. beef in 2014, which means more than $350 in added value per head of cattle in the United States. This value is not just from
increased overall demand, but also from adding value to variety meats that have very limited value here at home. As the demand for U.S. beef continues to grow around the world, the future success of the beef industry rests in our ability to meet foreign demand without inference of tariff and non-tariff trade barriers. With TPA passed, the United States can focus on finalizing trade agreements like the Trans-Pacific Partnership that will give us greater access to consumers throughout the Pacific Rim.

The Senate Agriculture Committee held a hearing on June 25 to discuss the implications of retaliation due to the failed Mandatory Country of Origin Labeling program (COOL). Jaret Moyer, cattle producer and president of the Kansas Livestock Association, testified at the hearing. “Proponents of COOL have long said mandatory labeling would increase demand for U.S. beef,” said Moyer. “After six years of implementation, it is clear that this is not the case.” Moyer cited a November 2012 study published by Kansas State University that determined demand for beef has not been positively impacted by COOL. He also referenced an April 2015 report to Congress authored by K-State Associate Professor of Agricultural Economics Glynn Tonsor. This report estimated that COOL has cost the industry $8.5 billion. Nearly $500 million of this cost has affected Moyer’s home state of Kansas, and as he told the committee, “That’s 500 million out of the pockets of Kansas producers, processors and consumers for a program providing no value.” “COOL is a failed experiment,” Moyer said. “The WTO has ruled against the U.S. four times. The next step is for Canada and Mexico to retaliate. We continue to hear some pro-COOL groups and members of Congress suggest that the process is not over and therefore it is too early to act. We disagree. We have two options, repeal or face retaliation.” The WTO has granted Canada and Mexico permission to implement billions of dollar in retaliatory tariffs on a wide variety of U.S. products including beef, ethanol, wine, and furniture. Moyer expressed the importance of maintaining good relationships with Canada and Mexico, and he reiterated the necessity of full repeal in ending this dispute with two of our biggest trade partners. “The solution is for Congress to repeal COOL now,” Moyer said. “Three hundred House members demonstrated in a strong bi-partisan vote the time has come to stop this madness. We encourage the Senate to exhibit the courage to do the same.” Moyer urged the committee to repeal COOL before retaliation is implemented, which could occur as early as August.

Supreme Court Upholds Landowners Interior Appropriations Rights Challenging WOTUS Jurisdiction Bill Advances through A significant victory for cattle producers across the country, the Supreme Court ruling last month in United States Army Corps of Engineers v. Hawkes Co., Inc., set a precedent that landowners may challenge the Corps’ jurisdictional determination specifying that a piece of property contains a “water of the United States.” NCBA President Tracy Brunner said NCBA filed an amicus brief in support of Hawkes in this ruling. “This case highlights the issues landowners and land-use stakeholders have with the Clean Water Act,” said Brunner. “Neither of the options provided to landowners are realistic under the current regulatory environment. Applying for a 404 permit is expensive, exhaustive and time consuming. Gambling on EPA enforcement and risking civil and criminal penalties is foolish. This case strikes a balance that at least gives us some measure of regulatory certainty in the notoriously unclear Clean Water Act.” The Hawkes case involved three companies
engaged in mining peat in Minnesota. Due to the difficulty inherent in determining the need for a 404 Dredge and Fill Permit, the Army Corps allows property owners to obtain a standalone jurisdictional determination if a particular piece of property contains a WOTUS and therefore requires a 404 permit before using the land. Upon receiving an approved jurisdictional determination that their land did contain a WOTUS, the companies exhausted the administrative remedies available and then filed suit in Federal District Court challenging the Corps’ jurisdictional determination. The government argued that such a jurisdictional determination was not final agency action and that landowners would have to either discharge without a permit and then challenge EPA enforcement or apply for a permit and challenge the outcome. “Given the subjective nature of a determination and the inconsistent application of the Clean Water Act, knowing Continued on page 6
Growing Disconnect Between the Ag Community and EPA
Frustrated with EPA failing to comply with the law, 34 members of the House of Representatives signed a letter led by Representatives Rodney Davis (R-Ill.) and Suzan DelBene (D-Wash.), raising their concern that EPA has failed to establish a standing agriculture-related committee within its Science Advisory Board. The EPA’s Science Advisory Board is authorized to review the quality and relevance of the scientific and technical information being used by the EPA or the science proposed as the basis for Agency regulations. A provision in the 2014 Farm Bill directed the EPA to include an ag committee within the Science Advisory Committee to give farmers and ranchers a stronger voice in the federal rulemaking process regarding regulations that impact agriculture. Since implementation of the 2014 Farm
Bill, the EPA released a Federal Register Notice announcing the creation of the Agriculture Science Committee and extended the deadline to March 2015 to nominate members to the committee. However, after creating a list of 88 potential candidates and closing comments in September 2015, the EPA has yet to create the committee. According to the letter, “[The] EPA’s inability to timely execute the creation of the Agriculture Science Committee... has only fueled the growing disconnect between the agricultural community in rural America and the EPA. To bridge this gap, it is vital the EPA establish the Agriculture Science Committee.” The relevant scientific advice of the Science Advisory Board committees underlie EPA’s rulemakings, many of which affect agriculture, such as the EPA’s “waters of the United States” rule.
Committee
On June 15 the House Committee on Appropriations favorably reported the FY 2017 Interior and Environment appropriations bill to the House of Representatives by a vote of 31-18. The bill addresses a number of priorities for the livestock industry, including language regarding the Greater Sage Grouse and full defunding of EPA’s problematic “waters of the United States” rule. “The bill maintains the one-year delay on further rulemaking or listing of the Greater Sage Grouse under the Endangered Species Act and prevents implementation of federal management that is inconsistent with successful, ongoing state management of the species,” said Ethan Lane, executive director of the Public Lands Council and NCBA Federal Lands. “Additionally, the bill fully defunds EPA’s ‘waters of the United States’ final rule and begins to address the abuse of the Antiquities Act by limiting the President’s ability to make sweeping designations at the stroke of a pen and over local objections.” The bill also blocks the President’s proposed administrative fee on top of the grazing fee. Additionally, it reduces funding for the Land and Water Conservation Fund to $322 million, restoring some responsibility and prioritizing state and local projects while reducing funding for federal land acquisition. Payment in Lieu of Taxes was fully funded, offsetting the loss of local tax revenue for public lands, and the bill increases funding for wildfire suppression to $3.9 billion. Furthermore, the bill provides some additional flexibility and management for the overpopulation of wild horses. “We applaud the members of the Appropriations committee for taking an active stance in addressing some of the most pressing needs of the livestock industry,” said Lane. “As the Senate works to mark up their companion bill later this week, we hope this bill will move quickly to a vote on the House floor.”
