President Trump would continue his efforts to ease regulatory burdens on businesses if re-elected for a second term, while also working to eliminate slowdowns that have delayed Superfund projects, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administrator Andrew Wheeler said.
In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Wheeler said a second term for the Trump administration would allow his agency to press forward with measures such as including a cost-benefit analysis of any new regulations.
He would also push for expanded “science transparency,” requiring the scientific justification behind new regulations to be disclosed. Wheeler expanded on his priorities for a possible second Trump term Thursday (September 3) at the Nixon presidential library in Yorba Linda, Calif. The event commemorated the 50th anniversary of President Nixon establishing EPA in 1970. “The EPA's mission has been straight forward since its founding: protect human health and the environment,” Wheeler said in remarks at the event.
