The EPA would review proposed federal laws under this Clean Air Act process. It would no longer have the same named role for certain projects, major agency actions, or proposed rules.
Modern Action explains what the legislation does, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
RED Tape Act is a Senate bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works.
Latest action on H.R. 6398: Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects EPA and other federal agencies. EPA would have a smaller formal review job under this Clean Air Act process. Other agencies may face fewer EPA comments through this specific process when they plan projects or write rules. Congress would still get EPA comments on proposed laws.
Why this matters: This matters because EPA comments can flag air and environmental concerns before federal decisions move forward. The bill would keep that role for proposed laws but remove it from this specific process for some projects, agency actions, and rules. That could reduce overlap with other review laws. It could also mean fewer formal EPA warnings in some federal planning work.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
