PCCA Touts Damage Prevention in Support of PHMSA Reauthorization Ahead of House Markup
In a letter to House Energy and Commerce Committee leaders on June 23, PCCA said that damage prevention provisions in the Pipeline Safety Authorization Act of 2026 would "help safeguard taxpayer investments in critical infrastructure and enhance the reliability of America’s energy and communications networks" and urged its timely passage. The Energy Subcommittee marked up the bill on June 24.
"Unmarked, inaccurately mapped, or improperly located underground water, sewer, power, broadband, communications, and pipeline infrastructure pose significant safety risks to communities and PCCA contractor employees across the United States," PCCA President & CEO Tim Wagner said.
"Accidental third-party utility strikes––including underground pipelines––cost the U.S. economy at least $30 billion annually, threaten America’s energy, water/sewer, and communications infrastructure, disrupt local businesses and communities, and pose a serious safety threat to the environment and the public."

Tell The U.S. Senate to Oppose the Faster Labor Contracts Act
We need your help defeating the Faster Labor Contracts Act (FLCA), a key component of the controversial Protecting the Right to Organize Act (PRO Act) and one of organized labor’s top legislative priorities.
Unfortunately, the FLCA passed the U.S. House of Representatives on June 9 on a bipartisan basis, despite PCCA and coalition lobbying and grassroots efforts.
Now we need your grassroots advocacy to defeat the FLCA in the U.S. Senate and prevent it from going to President Trump’s desk for his signature.

Stop the Faster Labor Contracts Act
Your federal lawmakers need to hear from you! They must act now to stop the Faster Labor Contracts Act, which pro-union legislators are pushing via a rarely used procedural maneuver called a discharge petition (filed on April 20, 2026) to fast-track the bill and appease powerful union special interests.
Tell lawmakers that this is an unprecedented expansion of federal power into private business decisions. For the first time, Washington bureaucrats could override voluntary negotiations and impose contract terms on small businesses and their employees. Act now to stop this effort before it advances!
Please go to PCCA's Grassroots Action Center to easily send your comments to your lawmakers, President Trump, and Vice President Vance. Your voice matters!
