Published



The Trump administration is taking significant steps to streamline government operations and eliminate waste.

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin quickly followed suit, announcing 31 deregulatory actions aimed at driving down consumer costs, unleashing domestic energy, and bringing automotive jobs back to the United States.

One program that stands out as a prime candidate for elimination is the EPA’s Integrated Risk Information System program. This unauthorized program has long been a source of controversy and inefficiency, and its removal would align with the administration’s efforts to cut government waste.
