From the transcript
This is very problematic for our state, my state, my state in particular. And as you know, we have, we have experienced considerable delays with the ESA consultations anyway during the pres— the previous administration. So, Mr. Director, do I have your commitment to work with the Office of Surface Mining, state regulators including West Virginia's EPA, and the mining industry on a path forward that allows ESA consultations to take place in an efficient manner and avoid unnecessary delays in the permitting process after this court decision? If you have any other thoughts on this as well. Yes, so I certainly appreciate the question.
