What happened

In an EPA video recounting Administrator Lee Zeldin’s first month in office, the agency said, as it stated it, that Zeldin had made progress on the tens of billions in grant funds the Biden EPA had committed — described in the video as gold bars thrown off the Titanic — ended COVID-era remote working, and begun action to lower appliance costs for Americans, according to the EPA.

The EPA also said, as it stated it, that the agency had renamed its Gulf of America Division, granted primacy to West Virginia over Class VI wells, transmitted California’s car and truck standards waivers to Congress, and joined President Trump’s National Energy Dominance Council.

Why it matters

The video is the EPA’s own first-month scorecard for its administrator, preserved here as the agency stated it for the chronicle’s regulatory record.
