Michael Regan

There has been a lot of dumping on the PRO Act, and I am a strong supporter of the PRO Act.

It is critical that we, number one, partner with our States to protect these national treasures.

Yes, I do believe that.

Under my leadership EPA would do everything in its power to hold responsible parties accountable for environmental degradation, and return land to safe and productive use for communities.

I do believe that one of the initial catalysts for TCSA was focused on asbestos cities.

I will have to get you that timeline.

It means investing in our electrical grid and building more resilient transmission.

This plan is a transformational investment that puts working people first and will help ensure we reduce pollution and help create good quality jobs.

We cannot regulate our way out of the situation we find ourselves in.

We are going to do this using the traditional statutory authority that we have, and we are going to go through very transparent rulemaking processes that will engage all of our stakeholders.

We need to keep right on pressing on this air quality issue.

What we determined, as you stated, was the previous Administration followed a process that was unlike any process of any previous Administration, both Democrat and Republican.

It is our job to ensure that that vision coincides with the vision that we see for the lowest carbon economy in the future.

It is critical that we focus on water affordability.

This budget is a serious signal to the agency that we are being invested in, and we are going to be given the tools we need to protect the environment, public health, and the economy.

EPA has never and will not act in isolation.

We are going to revise those regulations.

We are working on that backlog. There is a lot of time that we have to make up.

It is an opportunity that USDA and farmers are proactively looking at, that we need to quantify and consider as part of the equation.

I can assure you that Michael S. Regan is in charge at EPA.

I can commit to you that Secretary Austin and I have already had some outreach on this topic.

This budget proposal is critical as well as the American Jobs Plan.

We believe that the 10th Circuit's reading of the law is the correct reading.

I think that is an excellent question, and I will say that the President has indicated from day one that agriculture is at the table.

the Federal Government is playing catch-up to where many of the States have had to step in.
