The Environmental Protection Agency on Friday announced a broad reorganization as part of the Trump administration's drive to cut costs that some activists worry will harm the agency's independent scientific research.
Administrator Lee Zeldin announced changes that included creating a new unit within his office “to align research and put science at the forefront of the agency's rulemakings.” He said the overall reorganization would boost efficiency and save at least $300 million annually, though he didn't detail how the money would be saved.
