Administrator Zeldin Discusses EPA’s Core Mission with Members of Congress During Budget Hearings on Capitol Hill
EPA is proving every day that you can both protect the environment AND grow the economy. No longer is it a binary choice where we are forced to pick one or the other.
This week, Administrator Zeldin testified before members of Congress regarding EPA’s Proposed Fiscal Year 2027 Budget. On Monday, in front of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies, he was asked by Representative Jake Ellzey to discuss EPA’s core mission of protecting human health and the environment. Pillar 1 of the Trump EPA’s Powering the Great American Comeback Initiative is to provide clean air, land and water to all Americans, and we are working to achieve that goal every single day.
EPA’s Largest Act of Deregulation in U.S. History Empowers Consumer Choice and Revitalizes American Auto Manufacturing
Americans should be able to buy the type of car they want, not the car that government demands. On Tuesday, House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Brett Guthrie asked Administrator Zeldin to explain how EPA’s repeal of the 2009 Endangerment Finding (and all subsequent federal greenhouse gas emission standards for all vehicles and engines of model years 2012 to 2027 and beyond) complies with the Clean Air Act and supports the auto manufacturing industry. EPA’s repeal, the largest act of deregulation in U.S. history, empowers vehicle manufacturers to make the cars that Americans desire most, and restores consumer choice to American families.
EPA Takes Action to Combat Childhood Lead Exposure
EPA is working hard to combat childhood lead exposure, launching new public education tools, distributing $3 BILLION in new funding to reduce lead in drinking water, and calling on states to use previously awarded lead-mitigation funds that have gone unused.
