Rounds Chairs First Subcommittee Hearing on Management of EPA, Fish and Wildlife, Chemical Safety Agencies

Statement

U.S. Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.), chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Subcommittee on Superfund, Waste Management, and Regulatory Oversight, today chaired his first hearing entitled "Oversight of the Management of the Federal Environmental Protection, Chemical Safety, and Fish and Wildlife Agencies."

"Today's hearing laid the groundwork for what we want to accomplish in this subcommittee, which is to identify and eliminate waste, fraud and abuse within the EPA, the Army Corps and other agencies within our jurisdiction," said Rounds. "I thank Chairman Inhofe, Ranking Member Markey, Senator Crapo and the Inspectors General for joining me in this important hearing. The Inspectors General play a crucial role in keeping federal agencies in check, and I look forward to working with them to make certain the agencies are working transparently to achieve their goals without overstepping their regulatory boundaries."
