"Green Group Sues EPA For Information On Deregulatory Task Force"

"The Southern Environmental Law Center (SELC) is suing the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for allegedly failing to respond to the group’s request for documents pertaining to its regulatory reform task force.

In a complaint filed in a U.S. district court in Virginia, the SELC claims the EPA missed the statutory deadline to respond to the Freedom of Information Act request the organization filed in April for information relating to the deregulatory panel.

Trump issued an executive order in February directing each agency to evaluate existing regulations and make recommendations to the agency head regarding their repeal, replacement or modification, consistent with applicable law."
