In the second podcast of Crowell & Moring’s “First 100 Days” series, Partner Tom Lorenzen and Counsel David Chung of the firm’s Environment & Natural Resources Group sit down to discuss what environmental regulation might look like under president-elect Trump’s new administration. Tom served in the U.S. DOJ’s Environment & Natural Resources Division for more than 15 years, experiencing first-hand the transition between two presidential administrations – from President Clinton to President Bush, and from President Bush to President Obama.
Covered in this 15 minute podcast:
- Trump and the EPA – how climate change regulation and the coal industry might be affected.
- Priorities for revising or revoking rules put in place by the Obama Administration.
- What might throw a wrench in the new administration’s plans to roll back certain rules.
- New environmental regulations the Trump administration might issue.
- Who might be chosen to lead the EPA.

After hosting a series of workshops and issuing multiple rounds of materials, including enforcement notices, checklists, templates, and other guidance, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) has proposed regulations to implement the Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act (SB 253) and the Climate-Related Financial Risk Act (SB 261) (both as amended by SB 219), which require large U.S.-based businesses operating in California to disclose greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and climate-related risks. CARB also published a Notice of Public Hearing and an Initial Statement of Reasons along with the proposed regulations. While CARB’s final rules were statutorily required to be promulgated by July 1, 2025, these are still just proposals. CARB’s proposed rules largely track earlier guidance regarding how CARB intends to define compliance obligations, exemptions, and key deadlines, and establish fee programs to fund regulatory operations.
