The head of the Environmental Protection Agency is telling staff to quickly finish up the last round of regulations before President-elect Donald Trump enters the Oval Office next year.
"As I've mentioned to you before, we're running — not walking — through the finish line of President Obama's presidency," EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy said in a staff memo obtained by the Washington Examiner after Trump was declared the winner of Tuesday's election.
The agency is currently working on regulations for the oil and gas sector, and is finalizing new annual regulations for the nation's ethanol mandate and renewable fuel blending requirements. The agency is also moving rules related to implementation of its landmark Clean Power Plan for cutting carbon pollution from the nation's coal utilities to combat global warming.
The Clean Power Plan itself is currently under court review after being temporarily stayed by the Supreme Court on Feb. 9 until all judicial review has concluded. Over half the nation is opposing the climate rules along with major industry groups and the coal industry. Trump has made repealing the EPA climate plan a key part of his first 100 days in office.

You typed 1978 incorrectly.

Fire every last one of the people implementing Obama’s unlawful orders.
Trump will make his point when he starts firing senior level political appointees who just happened to have their status changed to career employee over the next two months.
Several strokes, maybe only one, of the President’s pen would take care of the regulations. And action by Congress to castrate the agency would close the door behind them. Then transfer any hired after 1992 to one every mile or so pollution monitoring tent stations along the coast of the Bering Sea. Or they can resign and forfeit accumulated government benefits. I’d be nice and give them the choice.
Have never understood why our Republican Congress has continued to allow any government agency or department to write any regulations. Just one of the reasons no one in our family voted for our Republican Congressman the last two elections.
Properly inflated automobile tires.
Which US industry must comply with or face government punishments in oh, maybe 2018 ...
Under new cabinet members and a new Congress
Labor on petty bureaucrats running around in your little gerbil balls
Trump has already appointed a top climate scientist to review your insanity
President Richard Nixon’s biggest transgression wasn’t the Watergate coverup.
(That is a mere trifle compared to Barack Obama’s crimes over the last 8 years.)
No.
Nixon’s most serious and damaging transgression was the signing of the bill that created the EPA.
It is time to BAN/ABOLISH the EPA!!!!
A DC cop came in...One of the Embassies had just be robbed. When the FBI arrived, the DC cops were booted out.
I remember the DC cop saying....The FBI has it nice....they just shred whatever they want. Nothing has changed.
+1
Well obama normalized the precedents of using a phone and a pen or simply ignoring laws and regs he didn’t agree with
So there Ya go
Simple....Don’t fund the EPA....
Hurry, hurry Gina.
Tick, tick, tick.
Appoint a new Secretary and get rid of all previous regulations. Not difficult.
Does she not realize that the Trump administration can just as easily un-do everything they are and have been doing? That rushed regulations are going to be flawed and even more likely to be rolled back? Idiot.
Just like an acquaintance posted on another social media site, some drivel about "obama permanently protects planned parenthood." Ah, no, he hasn't. The proposed regulation change hasn't gone into effect. Even if it does, there's nothing that he or anyone else does that President Trump and Congress cannot undo. Get this through your thick skulls libtards: anything your government can do, the Trump administration can un-do.
Pretty simple. Propose new regulations, publish them in the Federal register, ask for comments for a statutory period of time, then implement the revised regulations. No input from Congress. Totally under the president's control.
I actually agree - I encourage our collectivist, corrupt apparatchiks to go ahead and push through their agenda in the Next two months - and reveal the true political nature of their programs
