The reorganization includes the creation of a first-of-its-kind Office of State Air Partnerships within the Office of Air and Radiation, focused on working collaboratively with state, local, and tribal air permitting agencies. Zeldin is also establishing an Office of Clean Air program to align statutory obligations and mission-essential functions to enhance transparency in regulatory development.
In addition to these changes, the EPA will add more than 130 new employees specifically tasked with addressing the backlog of new chemicals and pesticides awaiting review. The agency is also creating a new Office of Applied Science and Environmental Solutions to prioritize research and incorporate science into the agency's rule-makings and technical assistance to states.
On April 28, Zeldin announced major actions to combat Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) contamination. These initiatives include designating an agency lead for PFAS, creating effluent limitations guidelines to prevent these "forever chemicals" from entering drinking water systems, and working with Congress and industry to establish a liability framework ensuring polluters pay while protecting passive receivers.
Zeldin's approach to leadership at the EPA reflects the Trump administration's environmental policy direction. He recently published an op-ed in The Hill rejecting what he calls "the false choice between environmental stewardship and economic prosperity." Zeldin has emphasized that under his leadership, the EPA is committed to ensuring America has "the cleanest air, land, and water on the planet while also supporting economic growth."
To mark the first 100 days of the Trump administration, Zeldin released a list of 100 environmental actions taken by the agency since January 20, 2025. He has framed these initiatives as part of "Powering the Great American Comeback," which includes unleashing American energy, lowering costs for Americans, revitalizing the auto industry, advancing cooperative federalism, and positioning the United States as a leader in AI development.
Concerns remain about the potential elimination or relocation of key programs addressing climate change, PFAS, and pollution prevention, as the full scope of the reorganization continues to unfold across the agency's various offices and programs.
