PCCA Helps Secure Historic Tax Relief
On June 25, the Power and Communications Contractors Association (PCCA) joined more than 80 leading trade organizations in sending this letter to Senate leadership, pressing for passage of the new budget reconciliation tax package. With millions of jobs and local economies at stake, the coalition called for urgent action to deliver permanent tax relief for pass-through businesses. At the heart of the request was a full extension of the Section 199A deduction, vital for supporting pass-through entities and C corporations, alongside protections for the deductibility of state and local taxes.
Thanks to the strength and unity of this business community, those provisions were signed into law as part of the Big Beautiful Bill. PCCA is proud to have played a part in that success and remains deeply committed to advancing policies that support American enterprise and drive growth from the ground up.
PCCA Letter Supporting the PERMIT Act
PCCA sent a letter to House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure leadership on June 27 expressing support for the Promoting Efficient Review for Modern Infrastructure for Today (PERMIT) Act. PCCA welcomes this legislation as a much-needed step toward fixing an outdated permitting process that ultimately slows the deployment of power and broadband infrastructure. PCCA looks forward to continued collaboration on common-sense reforms that get shovels in the ground.
Workforce Pell Grant Expansion
Signed into law on July 4, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act includes provisions that will expand Pell Grant eligibility to learners pursuing a short-term job training program. The new Workforce Pell Grants for short-term programs are effective July 1, 2026, and stand to benefit workers and providers in compliance with the new law. The change is also a positive development for employers seeking upskilled workers to meet industry’s workforce needs.

PCCA Backs Keeling Nomination for Top OSHA Role
On June 3, PCCA President & CEO Tim Wagner sent a letter to key Senators supporting Dave Keeling's nomination to serve as Assistant Secretary of Labor for OSHA. The Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions will hold a hearing on the nomination this Thursday.
Sent to committee leaders Sens. Bill Cassidy, M.D., and Bernie Sanders, the letter details Keeling's extensive career in workplace safety, starting as a UPS package handler and ultimately advancing to oversee the company’s safety operations.
"He has been on the ground and on the frontlines of workplace safety for his entire career and has a keen understanding of what works to get companies focused on protecting their employees from workplace hazards," Wagner said. "PCCA's leadership and member companies strongly urge Senators to vote to confirm Dave Keeling as OSHA administrator."
Given the critical role OSHA plays in safeguarding America's construction workforce, PCCA urges the Senate to confirm Dave Keeling promptly. We stand ready to collaborate with him, confident that his leadership will foster a practical and results-oriented approach to the agency.

PCCA Applauds Senate Rejection of McFerran Renomination at NLRB
The Power & Communication Contractors Association (PCCA) applauds the U.S. Senate's rejection of Lauren McFerran's nomination to serve another term as National Labor Relations Board Chair. Announced on December 11, just five days before the deadline, the decision marks the end of her tenure on the board, which has been problematic at best and, at worst, outright unconstitutional.
PCCA members have been contacting their Senators over the last couple weeks to oppose the McFerran renomination, and when PCCA Government Affairs Committee members flew into to Washington, D.C., at the end of November to meet with legislators, the issue was atop their agenda.
