Lee Zeldin, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) chief, is testifying Tuesday morning before the House Energy and Commerce Committee on the agency’s fiscal 2026 budget request.
Zeldin has been a vocal supporter of President Trump’s efforts to roll back Biden-era climate policies and cut down on spending. The administration’s request includes an increase in funding for “critical drinking water.”
The hearing comes after the EPA announced earlier this month that it would pare down federal limits of “forever chemicals” and as House Republicans press forward with Trump’s domestic agenda, which would slash a number of green programs and regulations.
The event is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. EDT.
