U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts has expressed approval of the Environmental Protection Agency's recent announcement regarding 31 deregulatory actions. As a member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, Ricketts commented on the decision, emphasizing a return to what he describes as "common-sense."

Ricketts stated, “Biden’s EPA was a rogue agency. It disregarded the Supreme Court’s ruling and attempted to subvert our laws. It consistently overrode the concerns of farmers, ranchers, and small business owners across the country. Our producers deserve clear, consistent standards, not overregulation. Today’s announcement proves that common-sense is back. This is what unleashing American energy looks like.”

The senator's remarks reflect his view that these changes will benefit American producers by providing clearer and more consistent regulatory standards.
