The United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) issued a March 12th news release titled:
EPA Launches Biggest Deregulatory Action in U.S. History.
EPA Administrator Zeldin announced 31 actions that the federal agency will be undertaking that are described as being deregulatory in nature.
The press release states that:
…While accomplishing EPA’s core mission of protecting the environment, the agency is committed to fulfilling President Trump’s promise to unleash American energy, lower cost of living for Americans, revitalize the American auto industry, restore the rule of law, and give power back to states to make their own decisions.
The 31 actions are listed under three headings:
- UNLEASHING AMERICAN ENERGY
- LOWERING THE COST OF LIVING FOR AMERICAN FAMILIES
- ADVANCING COOPERATIVE FEDERALISM
The actions address programs in a variety of media (i.e., air, water, etc.), industries (oil and gas, steam electric generating, automobile, etc.), and advisory organizations (Science Advisory Board, Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee, etc.).
