EPA ADMINISTRATOR TO VISIT PENNSYLVANIA COAL MINE, LAUNCH BACK-TO-BASICS AGENDA
SYCAMORE, Pa. - U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt will speak with coal miners at the Harvey Mine in Sycamore, Pennsylvania on Thursday, April 13, to kick off EPA's Back-to-Basics agenda. The Back-to-Basics agenda refocuses the EPA on protecting the environment, promoting economic and job growth, and returning power to the states.
Administrator Pruitt will speak with coal miners about the President's recent Energy Independence Executive Order, which directs EPA and other federal agencies to review the Clean Power Plan and revise regulatory barriers that impede energy independence, including unnecessary burdens on coal miners and coal-fired electric utilities.
"What better way to kick off the EPA's Back-to-Basics agenda than joining hard-working coal

Members of the media who plan to attend this event must RSVP by emailing pressrsvp@epa.gov no later than 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 12.
