EPA personnel detailing endangerment matters to Zeldin
The Trump Administration's proposal to repeal the 2009 endangerment finding, a significant step in regulating emissions related to greenhouse gases, has been a topic of debate among environmentalists, public health advocates, and industry groups.
The records, released this week under the Freedom of Information Act, detail the staff members who attended a February meeting with the new EPA administrator, Lee Zeldin. The meeting, which took place after President Trump's executive order directing the EPA to consider the legality and continuing applicability of the Obama-era endangerment finding, could provide insights into the EPA's current stance on the endangerment finding.
The February meeting occurred before the Trump EPA proposed to repeal the 2009 endangerment finding in July. The proposal, which was alarming to many, could potentially undo regulations aimed at limiting emissions.
The Obama-era endangerment finding, declared in 2009, stated that greenhouse gases pose a threat to human health and welfare. This endangerment finding set the stage for a series of EPA regulations aimed at limiting emissions.
The records reveal the identities of the EPA staffers who participated in the briefing on the agency's endangerment finding. However, the name of one staff member who participated in the consultation with Lee Zeldin on the EPA’s republic Endangerment Finding in February 20XX is not publicly available.
The release of these records might be of interest to those mentioned above, as they may potentially shed light on the discussions and decisions regarding the republic endangerment finding within the EPA. The proposal to repeal the endangerment finding was applauded by some conservatives and industry groups, while it was met with concern by environmentalists and public health advocates.
The records' release comes at a time when the proposal to repeal the endangerment finding is a significant policy shift in the approach to addressing climate change. The repeal, if successful, could have far-reaching implications for the regulation of co2 emissions and the fight against climate change.
