EPA Budgets 2019-2021

Where to Find EPA Budget Information

For information on Trump Administration budget proposals for EPA, including the current proposal for fiscal year 2021, see the Environmental Protection Network web site.  EPN produces concise analyses of Trump Administration budget proposals.

EPA's official budget proposal documents for FY2021 are available here.

The Environmental Defense Fund produced state-by-state analyses of Trump EPA budget proposals for FY2018 and FY2019.  They are available here.

Historical information on annual EPA funding and workforce levels signed into law is available on EPA's web site here.

The FY 2021 EPA budget proposal has many similarities to earlier Trump EPA budget proposals.  Save EPA's web site contains budget talking points and analyses comparing the Trump FY2018 budget proposal with EPA's FY2017 funding -- on the menu above, select "Defending EPA's Budget," then "EPA's 2017 and 2018 Budgets."

Save EPA has been an all-volunteer group of former EPA officials who became alarmed about the Trump agenda for EPA and joined together to fight it.

With newly-elected President-Elect Biden and VP-Elect Harris coming in January, the need to "save EPA" is much less urgent. This is not to imply all clear skies ahead - there is much re-building to do, there will be negative pressures on the new administration, and we will likely have policy differences in the future. However, we are hopeful that these differences will be discussed rationally, using science as a basis for moving forward, and keeping EPA's mission of protecting human health and the environment in the forefront.

And so, we are going back to retirement!  We're keeping our website up at http://saveepaalums.info/ , as a resource for those who want to follow and influence the restoration work. Our report on the Trump record at EPA describes the actions that need to be reversed [saveepaalums.info/Trump+era+report], and our guide to participating in the rulemaking process [http://saveepaalums.info/Resistance+Guide] can help you be part of the solution.

Thank you for your support and commitment during the past 3.5 years.  While the Trump assaults were unending, they were also frequently unsuccessful, and that was due in large part to public outrage.  Keep it up!  Although EPA will be in much better hands with a Biden administration, there is always a need for an informed and engaged public.
