Trial to Inside EPA

Congressional Republicans are poised to launch an effort next week aimed at rescinding a host of recently promulgated energy and environment rules under the Congressional Review Act (CRA), though the list of eligible rules is significantly shorter than in prior years because the Biden administration sought to keep many out of the law’s reach.

The second Trump administration is well-positioned to transform environmental policy in its first weeks, observers say, a stark contrast with the first Trump term’s initially halting efforts at EPA, which suffered from personnel challenges and inexperience with EPA and other policymaking institutions.

From Inside TSCA

Republican leaders of the House Energy and Commerce Committee have scheduled a hearing next week on how EPA’s implementation of the 2016 TSCA reforms have “inhibited” American innovation, moving quickly to lay the groundwork for addressing industry calls to overhaul the revised toxics law.

EPA’s research office has finalized its long-running effort to update its Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) assessment of health risks associated with inorganic arsenic exposure, retaining the probabilistic non-cancer risk analysis praised by science advisors and traditional risk values similar to those in its controversial 2023 draft version.

From Climate Extra

Oral arguments over the Biden EPA’s implementing rules for section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act appeared to offer clues about how the incoming Trump administration might rewrite the measure as expected, with one GOP-appointed judge voicing support for narrow interpretations of agency authority to oversee state plans to meet federal climate rules.
