Fuel supply challenges in the United States have prompted another recent decision from Administrator Zeldin. Citing “extreme and unusual fuel supply circumstances,” Zeldin approved a waiver permitting nationwide, year-round sales of E15 gasoline, which contains up to 15 percent ethanol. This action aims to alleviate gasoline supply strain and offer consumers more choice at the pump, especially during high-demand periods.
The overall direction of the EPA under Zeldin’s leadership has been guided by a five-pillar strategy known as the “Powering the Great American Comeback” initiative. These pillars prioritize clean air, land, and water, permitting reform, federal cooperation, and economic revitalization, reflecting a dual focus on environmental protection and regulatory flexibility. Zeldin’s approach includes reassessing enforcement priorities and advancing formal rulemaking processes to reconsider or roll back a range of regulations, from greenhouse gas reporting and clean water standards to policies impacting manufacturing, auto emissions, and the social cost of carbon. Notably, there is a renewed emphasis on revisiting the EPA's 2009 endangerment finding, the underlying driver for many climate regulations, suggesting the potential for significant long-term policy shifts.
Recent administrative actions also include canceling certain environmental grants, eliminating the agency’s environmental justice wing, and signaling intent to reduce federal intervention in areas such as foreign air quality impacts on U.S. states. These moves reflect not only the Trump administration’s priorities but are also seen as closely tracking the policy recommendations of the Project 2025 blueprint—a comprehensive conservative strategy for reshaping federal agencies, streamlining regulations, and reinforcing the role of states in environmental governance.
Zeldin, a former congressman from New York and an early Trump supporter, has framed these efforts as essential for both environmental health and national economic vitality. Environmental advocates, however, have expressed concern that this deregulatory momentum could erode critical protections, predicting legal battles as regulatory rollbacks proceed. As Zeldin continues to implement his agenda, the coming months are expected to bring both substantial policy changes and heightened debate over the balance between environmental safeguards and economic objectives.
