The hearing is entitled, "The Fiscal Year 2023 EPA Budget."
"Whether it's protecting our fundamental right to safe water, enforcing clean air protections, cleaning up PFAS forever chemicals, or combating the growing climate crisis, never before has the EPA's mission been so urgent or so crucial to our collective well-being," said Pallone and Tonko.

We look forward to hearing from Administrator Regan and discussing the budget proposal, as well as EPA's role in building a stronger, more sustainable economy and clean future."
