"Top House Democrats are scrutinizing various controversial moves by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to eliminate or roll back air pollution regulations.
House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Frank Pallone (D-N.J.) and the chairmen of two subcommittees in that panel wrote a letter probing the policies Monday, weeks after Democrats took the majority in the House. It shows that the Democrats plan to make oversight of the EPA’s enforcement of the Clean Air Act a priority.
“These actions are particularly alarming in light of the recent warnings underscoring the impacts of climate change on air quality and the health of the American people,” Pallone and Reps. Paul Tonko (D-N.Y.) and Diana DeGette (D-Colo.) wrote in their Monday letter to acting EPA chief Andrew Wheeler."
