EPA Admin. Lee Zeldin Announces the Biggest Deregulatory Action in U.S. History

EXCERPT:

ZELDIN: “Today, I’m pleased to make the largest deregulatory announcement in U.S. history. The Environmental Protection Agency is initiating 31 historic actions to fulfill President Trump’s promise to unleash American energy, revitalize our auto industry, restore the rule of law, and give power back to the states. EPA will be reconsidering many suffocating rules that restrict nearly every sector of our economy and cost Americans trillions of dollars. Our actions include the Biden Administration’s deeply flawed Clean Power Plan 2.0. Mercury and Air Toxics Standards, OOOO b/c, Particulate Matter 2.5, light, medium and heavy car and truck rules, NESHAPs, and the so-called social cost of carbon. To advance cooperative federalism, EPA will partner with states that were universally rejected by the last administration’s Good Neighbor Rule. Among many other actions, today’s momentous day also includes the 2009 Endangerment Finding, along with all actions that rely on it.”
