Environmental Protection Agency's Deregulatory Initiative to "Power the Great American Comeback"

Public Policy & Regulation attorneys Rich Gold, Susan Lafferty, Andy Emerson, Dimitrios Karakitsos and Maggie Pahl analyze the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) new deregulatory agenda in an article written for The Journal of Federal Agency Action. The authors review the sweeping actions announced by EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin following President Donald Trump's Day One executive orders, which target cutting the cost of environmental regulation, revitalizing American energy and advancing cooperative federalism.

The article details EPA's intent to reconsider dozens of regulations affecting water, air, climate and industry, while also examining the legal, procedural and administrative challenges inherent in such sweeping deregulation. With significant changes underway, the authors highlight not only what regulated industries can expect but also how the rulemaking and judicial review processes will affect both the environment and the agency's future direction.
