Environmental Protection Agency administrator Michael Regan is testifying before the Senate Appropriations Committee regarding the agency's budget requests for next year's budget.

The EPA is proposing a roughly $12 billion budget for the 2023-2024 fiscal year, which would be the largest budget for the agency in its history.

“Coupled with the President’s historic investments in America through significant legislative accomplishments, the Budget will advance EPA’s mission across the board, boosting everything from our efforts to combat climate change, to delivering clean air, safe water, and healthy lands, to protecting communities from harmful chemicals, and to the continued restoration of capacity necessary to effectively implement these programs,” Regan said in a statement in March announcing the proposal.
