April 26, 2013: Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell testifies on Capitol Hill 
in Washington, before the House Appropriations Committee, subcommittee on 
Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies budget hearing on forest service.APWASHINGTON 
 The U.S. Forest Service is in the business of preventing fires, 
not starting them.Yet the agency set off alarms in Congress and state 
capitols across the West by citing the automatic spending cuts as the 
basis for demanding that dozens of states return $17.9 million in federal 
subsidies. And it's all come down to a bureaucratic squabble over whether 
the money is subject to so-called sequestration because of the year it 
was paid -- 2013 -- as the Obama administration contends, or exempt 
from the cuts because of the year it was generated -- 2012 
-- as the states insist.Right now, it's a standoff heightened by history 
and hard fiscal realities. But with taxpayer cash scarce, both sides are 
digging in: The Forest Service has to slash 5 percent of its 
budget under sequestration. The states, meanwhile, have depended for decades 
on a share of revenue from timber cut on federal land. Perhaps 
least willing to compromise are members of Congress who are up for 
re-election next year and are loath to let go of money that 
benefits potential voters back home.It's not clear who gets to decide or 
whether the question ends up in court. But lines have been drawn."We 
regret having to take this action, but we have no alte
ncies' own estimates.Heritage found 
the costliest regulations between 2009 and Jan. 20, 2013, came out of 
the Environmental Protection Agency, with their rules imposing nearly $40 
billion in costs. Next in line was the Department of Transportation, followed 
by the Department of Energy.The Department of Health and Human Services 
was in the middle of the pack, though with regulations from the 
federal health care overhaul still in the pipeline, costs associated with 
that agency could rise in the years to come.The costliest rule was 
issued by both the EPA and Department of Transportation, imposing new fuel 
economy standards on U.S. automobiles. It's estimated to cost $10.8 billion 
annually, potentially adding $1,800 to the price of a new car as 
manufacturers spend more money to comply.Costing nearly as much was an EPA 
rule requiring utilities and other fossil fuel plants to limit emissions 
-- though part of that rule is still under review.Though environmental rules 
were the costliest, Heritage found that the highest number of regulations 
in 2012 were actually in the financial field as a result of 
the "Dodd-Frank" financial industry overhaul passed by Congress.The Obama 
administration acknowledges that EPA rules are the costliest of any agency. 
But the administration claims those rules also come with the biggest benefits 
-- benefits that far outweigh the costs.A report put out earlier this 
year by the White House Office of Management and Bud
