What is next on the horizon for EPA's deregulatory agenda? In C. Jahn's remarks, he noted that according to ACC's Morning Consult Survey, in addition to human health and the impact on the environment, Americans say that EPA should prioritize things like the impact on the economy and jobs, manufacturing, product affordability and accessibility, impact on the supply chain, and Innovation when the Agencies reviews new chemicals. How does EPA take these priorities into consideration? In January 2025, the House Subcommittee on Environment held a hearing on the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act which amended TSCA in 2016. What do you see as Congress's role in supporting chemical management policy by the EPA? Permitting reform is a key pillar in EPA's Powering the Great American Comeback Initiative, how is EPA planning to engage state and federal level partners as well as businesses to safeguard human health and the environment while also incentivizing US investment and onshoring ? How is the agency considering the use of AI as it seeks to incorporate greater transparency and efficiency into EPA processes? 9:45 C. Jahn ends the Question & Answer session with the keynote speaker, thanks C. McIntosh for the presentation and closes the session.
