EPA Proposes Rollback of 31 Environmental Regulations

Administrator Lee Zeldin outlines plans to reduce regulatory burdens, including reconsidering the 2009 endangerment finding on greenhouse gases.

The EPA announced 31 proposed actions aimed at reducing environmental regulations to support economic growth and lower costs for Americans.
Key targets include regulations on power plants, oil and gas industries, and the 2009 greenhouse gas endangerment finding, which underpins many federal climate policies.
Administrator Lee Zeldin described the initiative as the 'most consequential day of deregulation' in U.S. history, aligning with President Trump's economic agenda.
Critics, including environmental groups, argue that these rollbacks threaten public health, climate protections, and decades of environmental progress.
Legal experts suggest that revisiting the endangerment finding could face significant challenges in court due to its strong scientific and legal basis.
