DE-REGULATORY AGENDA- In year one, EPA appears to have finalized 22 deregulatory actions, saving Americans more than $1 B in regulatory costs. The report also says that EPA has initiated work on over 44 deregulatory actions. Can you highlight some of your big-ticket accomplishments in this space? COOPERATIVE FEDERALISM- In your first year, you consulted with 95 bipartisan Members of Congress, 34 Governors and visited over half the states and U.S. territories. You've also met with over 350 stakeholder groups. How has this shaped your decision making on the de-regulatory agenda we just discussed? CLEARING BACKLOGSa. AIR- With regards to Air, you have acted on 322 State Implementation Plans. Tell me about the situation you inherited before acting on those plans? b. CHEMICALS- As of January 2017, there were 600 new chemicals stuck in EPA's backlog. Obviously this type of thing stifles innovation and job creation nationwide. Has that backlog been addressed and how are you ensuring chemicals receive timely safety determinations? c. SUPERFUND- Unfortunately, the actual story of the work you ARE doing often goes untold by the media. Tell me about the progress you have made on cleaning up contaminated sites in your first year?

He also announced internal policy changes at the agency including reforms to EPA's scientific advisory boards to ensure geographic diversity and also ending the agency's 'Sue and Settle' practices. While keeping a robust schedule in D C. working on the President's de-regulatory agenda, Administrator Pruitt also managed to find time in his first year to visit 30 U.S. states and territories to hear directly from stakeholders on how EPA's decisions impact their daily lives and operations. Prior to serving in the Trump Administration, Pruitt served as Attorney General of Oklahoma, where he became a national leader through a career of advocating to keep power in the hands of hard-working Americans.
