 FEATURE: New Study on EPA Incompetence

 

This week, CEI released a report by William Yeatman on the Environmental Protection Agency’s persistent failure to meet deadlines for its statutory responsibilities. Since 1993, only 2 percent of Clean Air Act regulations were promulgated on time; and late regulations were an average of almost six years late. Today, EPA continues to be six years behind on its nondiscretionary responsibilties; yet, at the behest of the environmentalist lobby, EPA has taken on new discretionary responsibilities. Read more about Yeatman’s research here.
