Trial to Inside EPA

The Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court to swiftly weigh in on its authority to reorganize and downsize EPA and other federal agencies ahead of a series of critical lower-court deadlines, seeking to skip over a pending review of the case in an appellate court.

Small business groups and their supporters are pressing EPA to take a series of actions to ease Clean Water Act (CWA) implementation, including calling for a bright-line test to determine what qualifies as “waters of the United States” (WOTUS), accounting for any new WOTUS’ impacts on small entities and limiting future enforcement actions.

A group representing almost 3000 former EPA staff is warning Congress and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin that efforts to slash the agency’s staff, budget and regulations will make it impossible for the federal government to adequately protect public health, as Congress gears up to consider fiscal year 2026 funding for the agency.

A panel of D.C. Circuit judges appears split on whether to let stand a lower court decision that would allow recipients of $20 billion in grants under EPA’s “green bank” program to regain access to their awards, with at least one Trump-appointed judge signaling she is likely to rule in EPA’s favor.

The 5th Circuit is scrapping EPA’s disapproval of a Texas plan for meeting federal air standards, reversing its earlier opinion in a way that creates a new test that makes it easier to define areas as “unclassifiable” in terms of meeting those standards and thus not subject to additional pollution controls.
