WEBINAR: What Happens Now at EPA: Assessing the Executive Orders and Upcoming Regulatory Reform
Webinar | 04.12.17, 7:00 AM EDT - 8:30 AM EDT
Over the past two months, the Trump Administration has issued multiple Executive Orders related to regulatory reform generally and focused on EPA’s agenda specifically. The Orders look to dismantle major Obama Administration actions – namely the Clean Power Plan and the Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule – as well as work to shrink the overall regulatory landscape, particularly those agency activities and regulations related to climate change. These actions occur in the face of pending litigation against the Obama-era actions, along with uncertainty over the budgetary resources available to EPA to implement the ambitious de-regulatory agenda.
In addition, Administrator Pruitt has expressed skepticism regarding EPA’s landmark climate change, air, and water regulations and has stated that he intends to lead EPA with a particular focus on rule of law, cooperative federalism, and public participation. The perspectives he brings to EPA could lead the agency and its staff in dramatically new directions in pursuit of environmental protection.
This thought leading panel will address the immediate and near term ramifications of the recent Executive Orders applying to environmental, energy and climate change issues, for insight on where the agency may be quickly changing course, and how such direction could impact the regulatory agenda, litigation, and policy.

In 2025, the U.S. Government’s policy statements and Executive Orders have had far-reaching impacts for government contractors and grant recipients. Although terminations, stop work orders, and de-scopes have affected private companies, non-profits, and universities doing business across multiple agencies, the U.S. Government’s policies relating to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has caused particular confusion and uncertainty relating to performance, compliance, and contractual procedure. Key questions have included the potential impacts of official and less formal communications from the U.S. Government, procedural issues arising from the move of certain functions to the U.S. Department of State, and the effect of various pending litigations. As businesses and organizations plan for 2026, the importance of preserving their rights and maximizing potential recovery opportunities remains paramount.
