The Trump administration's controversial plan that will require an almost 25 percent cut to the
agency's budget in fiscal year 2018 reportedly includes plans to slash state grants by 30
percent, scale back the agency's workforce by 20 percent and zero out almost two dozen
programs, including popular brownfields and diesel emissions grants, as well as funds for
implementing the Clean Power Plan.
The cuts are spelled out in a note from the National Association of Clean Air Agencies (NACAA),
a group that represents state and local air regulators, to its members providing details of the
pass back EPA received from the Office of Management & Budget (OMB) earlier this week that
launched internal talks on the agency's budget.
The NACAA document noted that agencies, including EPA, have one day to appeal pass back
recommendations.
