(I’ve written about this program over the years, most recently when EPA issued massive revisions in April 2024 (see [HERE](https://blog.stpub.com/epa-updates-and-expands-mandatory-greenhouse-gas-emission-reporting-requirements)). The remainder of this note briefly summarizes EPA’s latest interpretation and identifies the small portion EPA proposes to retain, and the existing GHGRP.   [Read More](https://blog.stpub.com/epa-proposes-to-eliminate-most-mandatory-greenhouse-gas-emission-reporting-requirements) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.stpub.com/epa-proposes-to-eliminate-most-mandatory-greenhouse-gas-emission-reporting-requirements#comments-listing) Tags: [EPA](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/epa), [Greenhouse Gas](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/greenhouse-gas), [Clean Air Act](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/clean-air-act), [Climate](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/climate), [Environmental Compliance](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/environmental-compliance), [EPA Regulations](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/epa-regulations), [EPA Standards](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/epa-standards), [GHG Reporting](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/ghg-reporting), [EPA enforcement](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/epa-enforcement), [Climate Disclosure](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/climate-disclosure), [Climate Risk](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/climate-risk), [Air Quality](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/air-quality) ## [EPA narrows criminal enforcement to follow administration priorities](https://blog.stpub.com/epa-narrows-criminal-enforcement-to-follow-administration-priorities) Posted by [Jon Elliott](https://blog.stpub.com/author/jon-elliott) on Fri, Sep 05, 2025 - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://blog.stpub.com/hubfs/pexels-kindelmedia-7773260.jpg) ](https://blog.stpub.com/epa-narrows-criminal-enforcement-to-follow-administration-priorities) The US environmental Protection Agency (EPA) continues to narrow its enforcement focus in order to follow Trump administration priorities. I recently wrote about EPA’s May 2025 statement of new enforcement policies (I wrote about that memo [HERE](https://blog.stpub.com/epa-realigns-enforcement-policies-to-match-new-administration)). Now, EPA has announced further changes, to align its activities with the President’s Executive Order “Fighting Overcriminalization in Federal Regulations” (EO 14294). The remainder of this note summarizes these changes.  [Read More](https://blog.stpub.com/epa-narrows-criminal-enforcement-to-follow-administration-priorities) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.stpub.com/epa-narrows-criminal-enforcement-to-follow-administration-priorities#comments-listing) Tags: [EPA](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/epa), [Environmental Policy](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/environmental-policy), [Environmental Compliance](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/environmental-compliance), [EPA Regulations](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/epa-regulations), [EPA Standards](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/epa-standards), [Trump Administration](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/trump-administration), [Environmental Health and Safety](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/environmental-health-and-safety), [Environmental Protection Agency](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/environmental-protection-agency), [EPA enforcement](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/epa-enforcement) ## [EPA realigns enforcement policies to match new administration](https://blog.stpub.com/epa-realigns-enforcement-policies-to-match-new-administration) Posted by [Jon Elliott](https://blog.stpub.com/author/jon-elliott) on Fri, May 09, 2025 - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://blog.stpub.com/hubfs/images/EPA_logo.jpg) ](https://blog.stpub.com/epa-realigns-enforcement-policies-to-match-new-administration) On March 12, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a memorandum announcing significant revisions to the agency’s enforcement policies, entitled “Implementing National Enforcement and Compliance Initiatives Consistently with Executive Orders and Agency Priorities.” The memo directs EPA’s civil and criminal enforcement staffs, revising existing Biden-era policies (which I last wrote about [HERE](https://blog.stpub.com/epa-issues-strategic-civil-criminal-enforcement-policy)) to conform with President Trump’s executive orders (EOs) and policy statements by new EPA administrator Zeldin. The remainder of this note summarizes this new direction. **** [Read More](https://blog.stpub.com/epa-realigns-enforcement-policies-to-match-new-administration) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.stpub.com/epa-realigns-enforcement-policies-to-match-new-administration#comments-listing) Tags: [EHS](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/ehs), [EPA](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/epa), [NECI](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/neci), [Trump Administration](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/trump-administration), [Environmental Justice rollback](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/environmental-justice-rollback), [Air toxics enforcement](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/air-toxics-enforcement), [EPA enforcement](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/epa-enforcement), [NECI policy changes](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/neci-policy-changes), [Trump Executive Orders](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/trump-executive-orders) [All posts](https://blog.stpub.com/all) ### Follow Me ### Subscribe by Email ### Browse by Topic Area - [Accounting & Tax ](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/accounting-tax) - [Business & Legal ](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/business-legal) - [Corporate Governance  ](https://blog.stpub.com/../?Tag=Corporate+Governance) - [Environmental ](https://blog.stpub.com/../?Tag=Environmental) - [Global ](https://blog.stpub.com/../?Tag=Global) - [Health & Safety ](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/health-safety) - [Internet ](https://blog.stpub.com/../?Tag=Internet) - [Transportation ](https://blog.stpub.com/../?Tag=Transportation) ### Browse by Tag - [Environmental (344)](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/environmental) - [Business & Legal (309)](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/business-legal) - [Environmental risks (300)](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/environmental-risks) - [Health & Safety (296)](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/health-safety) - [EPA (283)](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/epa) - [Terms & Conditions](https://stphub.stpehs.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/STP-Terms-of-Use-Dec-20.pdf) - [Privacy Policy](https://stphub.stpehs.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/STP-Privacy-Policy.pdf) - [License Agreement](https://stphub.stpehs.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/STP-License-Agreement-Dec-20.pdf) - [Sitemap](http://stpub.com/sitemap) - [Support](http://stpub.com/support) © 2021 STP ComplianceEHS - All rights reserved
