Committee Leaders Lofgren and Amo Demand Answers from Trump Administration Regarding Process to Repeal Endangerment Finding
(Washington, DC) – On Monday, Ranking Member Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) and Environment Subcommittee Ranking Member Gabe Amo (D-RI) sent a letter to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin demanding answers on the process by which EPA plans to repeal the Endangerment Finding. The finding was finalized in 2009 and concluded that greenhouse gases in the atmosphere threaten the public health and welfare of current and future generations.
“As evidenced by nearly every action you’ve taken as Administrator, you place the bottom line of polluting industry over the interests of the American people, time and time again,” the Members wrote in the letter. “It is hard to pick the most damning example of your twisted priorities, but the July 29th, 2025, announcement of your intention to rescind the Endangerment Finding is surely near the top. As Ranking Members on the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, we remind you that the Endangerment Finding is rooted in science, and we demand that you account for the process by which you intend to repeal it.”
The Members continued, “We are confident that the public comments submitted by environmental health researchers and medical doctors will reaffirm the scientific consensus: that greenhouse gases endanger public health and welfare. It is clear, however, based on your incessant, preemptive bragging about the forthcoming repeal of the Endangerment Finding, that you have no intention of following the science.”
