The administration proposes a $582,381,000 budget for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), which would be a  7.9% ($49,928,000) decrease from OSHA’s adopted 2025 budget of $632.3 million (the Biden Administration had proposed $655.5 million; I wrote about it [HERE](https://blog.stpub.com/biden-administration-proposes-limited-increases-in-osha-budget)). The remainder of this note summarizes the Administration proposal.  [Read More](https://blog.stpub.com/trump-administration-proposes-limited-cuts-in-osha-budget) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.stpub.com/trump-administration-proposes-limited-cuts-in-osha-budget#comments-listing) Tags: [OSHA](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/osha), [workplace safety](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/workplace-safety), [Trump](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/trump), [Trump Administration](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/trump-administration), [Workplace Safety Guidelines](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/workplace-safety-guidelines), [Regulatory Compliance](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/regulatory-compliance), [Safety Standards](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/safety-standards), [FY 2026 Budget](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/fy-2026-budget), [Federal Budget Proposal](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/federal-budget-proposal), [Occupational Safety](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/occupational-safety) ## [Administration proposes massive cuts to EPA](https://blog.stpub.com/administration-proposes-massive-cuts-to-epa) Posted by [Jon Elliott](https://blog.stpub.com/author/jon-elliott) on Tue, Jul 08, 2025 - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://blog.stpub.com/hubfs/White%20House.jpg) ](https://blog.stpub.com/administration-proposes-massive-cuts-to-epa) The Trump Administration has issued its budget proposal for federal Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 (October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026), including a 54% cut in the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) budget, from $9.1 billion in FY 2025, to $4.16 billion for FY 2026. Many of the cuts apply to grant programs, and the proposal would cut staffing by 9%, from 14,130 full-time-equivalent employees (FTE) to 12,856. Readers should note that these cuts are comparable to those proposed by President Trump during his first term; EPA’s actual annual budget depends on that adopted by Congress (or a continuing resolution in lieu of an adopted budget). The remainder of this note summarizes EPA’s proposed FY2026 budget, including proposed reductions, drawn from EPA’s “Budget in Brief” (68 pages) and “Justification of Appropriation Estimates” (736 pages).  [Read More](https://blog.stpub.com/administration-proposes-massive-cuts-to-epa) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.stpub.com/administration-proposes-massive-cuts-to-epa#comments-listing) Tags: [EPA](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/epa), [RCRA](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/rcra), [tsca](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/tsca), [Clean Air Act](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/clean-air-act), [Environmental Policy](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/environmental-policy), [Climate](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/climate), [EPA Regulations](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/epa-regulations), [EPA Standards](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/epa-standards), [Trump](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/trump), [Trump Administration](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/trump-administration), [Climate Reporting](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/climate-reporting) ## [Trump administration reworking the Environmental Protection Agency](https://blog.stpub.com/trump-administration-reworking-the-environmental-protection-agency) Posted by [Jon Elliott](https://blog.stpub.com/author/jon-elliott) on Tue, Mar 04, 2025 - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://blog.stpub.com/hubfs/images/EPA_logo.jpg) ](https://blog.stpub.com/trump-administration-reworking-the-environmental-protection-agency) Since returning to office in January, President Trump and his administration have promulgated many actions to reduce and revamp the US federal government, and additional actions focused on specific agencies. I wrote about general approaches to environmental regulation [HERE](https://blog.stpub.com/how-president-trump-and-the-republican-led-congress-democrats-make-environmental-regulatory-changes). In addition, The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been a target of specific directives, and new EPA administrator Lee Zeldin has already announced important policy and procedural changes at his agency. The remainder of this note summarizes EPA-specific changes ordered and/or instituted as of the end of February 2025.

The timing and practicality of these reversals depends very much on each of the targeted activity’s legal form – law, regulation, Executive Order (EO), or guidance document. They also depend on where each particular target is in the governmental process: a non-binding policy, a proposed regulation subject, a final regulation subject to administrative appeals or court attacks, and a final regulation. President Trump has taken early executive action under each of these sets of situations. I will write about some separately, but the remainder of this note summarizes each general type of situation, with examples of each set out in order ranging from quickest/easiest to most time consuming/difficult.  [Read More](https://blog.stpub.com/how-president-trump-and-the-republican-led-congress-democrats-make-environmental-regulatory-changes) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.stpub.com/how-president-trump-and-the-republican-led-congress-democrats-make-environmental-regulatory-changes#comments-listing) Tags: [EHS](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/ehs), [sustainability](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/sustainability), [Executive Order](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/executive-order), [Environmental Compliance](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/environmental-compliance), [Policy Change](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/policy-change), [Trump](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/trump), [Trump Administration](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/trump-administration), [Regulations](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/regulations) [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
