Wednesday, the House adopted a 90-day extension, on a vote of 292-127 that would extend the current program through the end of the fiscal year, September 30th. Transportation leaders suggested that passage of the extension would allow for a conference with the Senate on their two year bill, passed in March. The bill adopted by the House was billed as a "clean" extension, although it includes three provisions that will make for a contentious conference with the Senate: approval of the Keystone pipeline, regulatory streamlining provisions contained in the original House bill, HR 7 and a provision that would ease Environmental Protection Agency regulations on coal-fired power plants.
