Declaración De Earthjustice Sobre El Paquete De Gastos Ómnibus

Earthjustice's statement on the Omnibus Spending Package praises funding for federal agencies, solar energy in Puerto Rico, and water infrastructure in Jackson, Mississippi. However, it criticizes the bill for undermining the Endangered Species Act regarding right whales, extending EPA pesticide review deadlines, and failing to meet U.S. climate finance commitments to developing nations made at COP 27.

• The Omnibus Spending Package provides $1 billion for solar rooftops in Puerto Rico to build electrical resilience, which Earthjustice intends to see aligned with the 'Queremos Sol' plan to benefit vulnerable populations.
• The bill includes provisions for the Pesticide Registration Improvement Act (PRIA) that mandate Spanish translations of pesticide labels and fund worker protections, but it also extends the EPA's deadline for reviewing existing pesticides, which Earthjustice argues will harm children, consumers, and farmworkers.
• While the package includes the Driftnet Modernization and Bycatch Reduction Act to phase out harmful gillnets, it contains a clause that Earthjustice claims undermines the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and threatens the recovery of the right whale, of which only about 340 remain.
• The legislation allocates $600 million for water infrastructure repairs in Jackson, Mississippi, and provides funding for Superfund and brownfield cleanups.
• The bill provides only 10 percent of the annual contribution the U.S. committed to developing nations for climate action during the COP 27 summit in Egypt.
