national Mining Association (NMA)

Background

The National Mining Association (NMA) is a nation-wide 501(c)(6) non-profit trade organization representing mining and mineral companies in the United States. It was formed in 1995 through the merger of the National Coal Association (NCA), which had represented the mining industry since as early as 1917, and the American Mining Congress (AMC), which went back as far as 1897.1

NMA‘s membership includes coal, metals, industrial, and agricultural minerals companies, as well as“manufacturers of mining and mineral processing machinery, equipment and supplies; and the engineering and consulting firms, financial institutions and other firms serving the mining industry.”2

According to its website, NMA‘s objective is to “engage in and influence the public process on the most significant and timely issues that impact mining’s ability to safely and sustainably locate, permit, mine, transport and utilize the nation’s vast resources” (emphasis added).3 It describes itself as “the only national trade organization that represents the interests of mining before Congress, the administration, federal agencies, the judiciary and the media—providing a clear voice for U.S. mining.”4

NMA has had a long history oflobbying against greenhouse gas reduction measures including the Clean Power Plan (CPP),5 which it once described as “unlawful at the most fundamental level.”6

NMA Initiatives & PACs

PACs

NAM has run a variety of initiatives and Political Action Committees (PACs) over the years, often opposing environmental regulations, including CoalPAC, and MinePAC.7 8

Count on Coal

NMA is behind the “Count on Coal” initiative, which it describes as “a grassroots advocacy program supported by NMA for the purpose of informing the public about the benefits of affordable electricity from coal.”9

Advocacy Campaign Team for Mining (ACT)

NMA formerly ran an Advocacy Campaign Team for Mining (:{ACT:(style="box-sizing:border-box"):}:) which it said was “a national network of individuals from the mining community who recognize the importance of being involved in the political process and being informed about the public policy debates that are shaping the future of the mining industry in America.’ ACT operated a website, www.actformining.org, which now redirects to Count on Coal.10

Minerals Make Life

“Minerals Make Life” is another NMA initiative, designed to “share mining news and educate America’s policymakers, influencers and the public, and enable them to make informed decisions about U.S. mining.”11

U.S. Coal Exports

The :{U.S.:(style="box-sizing:border-box"):}: Coal Export Coalition is a group “hosted by the National Mining Association.”12 The website points to a 2013 report prepared by Ernst & Young for the NMA on the “National and State Economic Contributions” of coal exports.13

Stance on Climate Change

August 2016

The NMA‘s “Crisis Communications Template”emphasizes “natural phenomenon” over the role of humans when describing the greenhouse effect, and does not discuss any dangers of warming. An excerpt reads:14

“Greenhouse effect – The warming of the Earth produced by the presence of certain gases in the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon necessary for life on earth; without it the planet’s average temperature would be 0 degrees Fahrenheit, instead of 60 degrees. Greenhouse gases include nitrous oxides, chlorofluorocarbons, methane, tropospheric ozone and carbon dioxide. They trap heat that would otherwise escape into space and return some of it to the earth’s surface, causing a rise in temperature. These gases result from both natural (oceans, wetlands, lakes, volcanoes, tundra and decaying organic matter) and human (the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, etc.) sources.”

July 2008

The NMA‘s official “position on climate change policies,” approved by NMA‘s Executive Committee, focused on the topic of “energy security.” Any reduction in emissions would be achieved through “clean coal” or carbon capture, saying:15

“Any meaningful effort to achieve long-term, sustainable reductions in global greenhouse gas emissions will depend on the development and deployment of new energy technologies, including advanced clean coal technologies and carbon capture and storage (CCS). The rapid development, demonstration and widespread deployment of such technologies are of paramount importance in any reasoned and effective effort to address climate change concerns.”

The document also emphasizes that mining and metal industries should be protected from greenhouse gas reduction policy, concluding with the following point:

“Energy- and greenhouse gas-intensive industries, including metals and minerals, that compete in a global market are particularly susceptible to competitive disadvantage from increased costs of a domestic climate change policy. Adequate measures should be put in place to maintain the global economic competitiveness of these industries.”

Clean Coal

NMA has promoted the idea of “Clean Coal Technologies.” In one pamphlet, circa 2008, NMA pushed for more federal funding of Clean Coal programs:16

“[I]t is critical that the federal government provide funding through the appropriations process for the Department of Energy’s clean coal programs and the FutureGen project,” the pamphlet concluded. “A strong federal commitment to clean coal technology will allow America to take full advantage of its vast 240 year supply of coal reserves […]”

October 3 – 4, 2017

The NMA held its 2017 board meeting. According to *The Intercept*,18 and :{E&E:(style="box-sizing:border-box"):}: News, the meeting was scheduled to take place at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C. and featured some of the largest coal and mining companies in the country.19

*The New Yorker* reported that Charlie Kirk, head of Turning Point USA attended the meeting. Interior SecretaryRyan Zinkewas also scheduled to speak at the event.20 21

Rooms for the days scheduled cost approximately $800 per night. Election law expert Brendan Fischer commented that because Trump had refused to divest from the Trump Organization, “money spent at the president’s D.C. hotel will make it into the president’s pocket.”22

“The National Mining Association or any other lobbying group has likely concluded that spending money at the Trump International Hotel in D.C. is a solid way of currying favor with the administration — and that spending money anywhere else runs the risk of offending our very sensitive president,” he added.23

According to the event invitation, “the evening reception on the rooftop will be the first reception since the 2016 elections and will provide an excellent opportunity to meet the new members of Congress, build on our relationships, and share our perspectives with our guests from Congress and federal agencies.”24

June, 2017

NMA‘s president and CEO Hal Quinn released a statement on the :{WOTUS:(style="box-sizing:border-box"):}: (Waters of the United States) Rule,25 supporting its repeal. The EPA‘s WOTUS rule seeks to clarify the limits of federal jurisdiction to protect wetlands.26

April 2017

*Politico*reportedthe NMA board of directors had voted to urge President Donald Trump to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement. The decision happened shortly after NMA leadership reportedly met with EPA Administer Scott Pruitt to discuss the accord. Pruitt had personally attended an NMA executive meeting to discuss the Paris accord. A spokesman for NMA denied that Pruitt had urged the group to support withdrawing from the accord, despite a source telling Politico the opposite.27

March 2017

The NMA applauded President Donald Trump’s executive order on the Clean Power Plan (CPP).28

“The clean power plan and the moratorium served the interests of political activists, not the American people,” said Hal Quinn, NMA president and CEO. “The president’s actions today help to restore common sense priorities and the important balance between costs and benefits that have been missing from federal regulatory policies.”

NMA also described the CPP as “extremely costly while providing no significant environmental benefits.”29

January 27, 2017

The Count on Coal coalition launched a Congressional Scorecard for the 115th congress to track votes on coal-related issues.30

“Count on Coal ‘s scorecard was developed to ensure vital coal industry priorities remain at the top of members’ priority lists and are translated into action that provides coal communities with urgent relief from further economic harm,” the NMA press release reported.

One of the key votes tracked would be what NMA described as a “unnecessary” stream rule:

“Swift and decisive action on the Stream Rule is required to restore balance, save high-wage jobs and protect an energy source integral to our nation’s success,” said NMA president and CEO Hal Quinn. “The combination of unnecessary government overreach, regulatory duplication and harm done through this rule meets every test for CRA action and for a key vote to kick off our scorecard for the 115th Congress.”31

On February 16,President Donald Trump signed an order to repeal the Stream Protection Rule. The Sierra Club notedthat the rule covers waterways near surface coal mining operations including mountaintop-removal mines. The rule, introduced in 1983 and later strengthened by the Obama Administration, wrote that coal mines could not damage the “hydrologic balance” outside of their permit areas by doing things like dumping debris into valleys that could pollute rivers and streams with heavy metals such as selenium, mercury, and arsenic.32

August 2016

The NMA released a “Fact Sheet” on the Clean Power Plan (CPP) titled “An Unlawful, Ineffective, Expensive Federal Government Power Grab” (:{PDF:(style="box-sizing:border-box"):}:).33

According to the document, “Climate change benefits will be virtually unmeasurable,” the CPP was “unlawful,” “unworkable,” and “weakens grid reliability.” Notably, sources cited included several industry-backed groups including the Cato Institute and The American Coalition on Clean Coal Electricity (:{ACCCE:(style="box-sizing:border-box"):}:).34

January 2016

NMArequested an immediate stay of the Clean Power Plan, along with industry applicants Murray Energy Corporation,Peabody Energy Corporation, and American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity (:{ACCCE:(style="box-sizing:border-box"):}:).35

October 2015

The NMA, ACCCE and Murray Energy Corporation signed on to a coal industry motion for a stay of the Clean Power Plan, claiming that “EPA‘s legal basis for transforming the electric sector is farfetched at best.”36

In August, NMA had also sent a letter to EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy, requesting a stay of the “Carbon Pollution Emission Guidelines for Existing Stationary Sources: Electric Utility Generating Units.” NMA president and CEO Hal Quin claimed in the letter that “staying the rule will not affect the climate” and “ even when fully implemented, will not meaningfully lower temperatures, reduce sea level rise or otherwise have climate impacts.”37

September 2015

Luke Popovitch, a spokesman for NMA,went on Newstalk :{KGVO:(style="box-sizing:border-box"):}: radio to discuss the EPA‘s Clean Power Plan. Audio below.“38

[vid]

here is really a hidden agenda here, which is to say, this President is going to be the climate president but he is doing so at the expense of American industry, to say nothing of American households,” Popovitch said.

December 1, 2014

NMAsubmitted comments on the :{EPA:(style="box-sizing:border-box"):}:‘s emissions guidelinesfor existing power plants, claiming that “EPA’s proposed regulations are unlawful at the most fundamental level.”39

July 29, 2014

Hal Quinn, NMA President and CEO, testified at an Environmental Protection Agency’s (:{EPA:(style="box-sizing:border-box"):}:) public hearing in Washington, D.C. where he opposed the EPA‘s proposed regulation of greenhouse gas emissions from existing power plants.40

“EPA’s proposal is another step in this administration’s policies designed to eliminate low cost and reliable electricity and replace it with more expensive and less reliable sources. By reducing the diversity of our nation’s electricity supply and raising its costs, EPA will create a structural barrier for our economic recovery and future growth,” Quinn said.

May 2011

The American Coal Foundation paid Scholastic, Inc.—the children’s books publisher—to produce maps and worksheets called the “United States of Energy” and place them in classrooms.41

“At first glance, it looks like an exploration of all sources of electricity. But much of the information comes from the National Mining Association, a coal-lobbying group. And these exercises for children subtly emphasize coal’s benefits,” PRI reported, noting that the maps do not mention environmental damages associated with mining. Solar power only appeared once in the map.

Faith Boninger, a research analyst with Arizona State University’s Commercialism in Education Research Unit, described them as “not really education.” Rather, she said “they’re propaganda.”

A Scholastic representative provided a statement, noting: “Since the program is designed for elementary schoolchildren, the materials do not attempt to cover all of the complex issues around the sourcing and consumption of energy.”42

On May 13, 2011, Scholastic issued the following statement:

“This week, Scholastic came under criticism for an 11” x 16” poster map which displays different sources of energy – coal, nuclear, hydroelectric, solar, wind and natural gas – not so much for the content of the poster but primarily for its sponsorship by the American Coal Foundation. We acknowledge that the mere fact of sponsorship may call into question the authenticity of the information, and therefore conclude that we were not vigilant enough as to the effect of sponsorship in this instance. We have no plans to further distribute this particular program.”

January 2011

*Politico* reported that the NMA—along with the American Petroleum Institute, National Rural Electric Cooperative Association,:{U.S.:(style="box-sizing:border-box"):}: Chamber of Commerce, and other industry-friendly groups—attended a closed-door meeting with Republican staff members to strategize a way to “handcuff the Obama administration’s climate change agenda.”43

Politicodescribed the goal as an “all-out push to block federal and state climate rules.”

“The feedback we got was ‘hey, great, go for it guys,’” one Republican aide told Politico. “And we pretty strongly told them we do need your help to get this done. And when we walked away from the meeting the feeling was we got that.”44

Fred Upton andJim Inhofe‘s aides were among those seeking for the push to block climate change regulations.

June 2009

The NMA was behind a PowerPoint document highlighted supposed regional costs that energy consumers would face under the Waxman-Markey climate and energy bill. *Grist* reported that the document was discussed on a conference call held by the “Rural America Solutions Group” within the GOP caucus, hosted by Frank Lucas (R-Okla.), Sam Graves (R-Mo.), and Doc Hastings (R-Wash.).45

Tamara Hinton, spokesperson for the Republicans on the Agriculture Committee, says that the PowerPoint document originated from the NMA.

“If the coal industry wants to provide information to show how it will impact people, we’re just letting people know that that information exists,” said Hinton. “There is no conflict of interest.”46

November 28, 2008

The:{NMA:(style="box-sizing:border-box"):}: submitted comments on the proposed regulation of greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act (CAA). According tothe submitted comments, “NMA believes that the CAA is ill-suited for addressing climate change and that regulation of GHGs under the CAA in its current form will result in highly inefficient and wasteful regulation with extremely high costs for little or no societal benefit.”47 48
