The Hill 2020s: on Environment


Mike Levin: Challenged easing of safety testing regulations

Levin pressed Trump official Scott Angelle over whether Angelle pushed for a rollback of safety regulations despite objections from career officials. His questions follow a Wall Street Journal report that said staff engineers had called for no changes to a two-week testing requirement for devices used to prevent oil well blowouts. The report said Angelle, who leads the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, instead adopted an industry-preferred three-week testing requirement.
