Latest News

The House Energy and Commerce Committee has passed its landmark Greenhouse Gas bill with cap-and-trade provisions. It will go to the full House for a vote this summer. For more details and updates, visit Norman's environmental blog.

The White House has proposed the largest budget increase in EPA's 39-year history.

The Obama Administration is proposing to spend $10.5 billion in 2010 on EPA including $3.9 billion for the agency's operating budget which includes research, enforcement and regulatory activities.

The White House also proposes to re-impose the Superfund tax that had expired in 1995. The tax would go in later years after the economy has recovered. It would generate $1 billion for toxic site cleanups.
