SUGAR LAND--March 29, 2017--Written by John Egan for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--President Donald Trump's long-awaited move to roll back the signature environmental regulation of his predecessor came Tuesday when he signed a broad executive order that instructed the U.S. Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) (Washington, D.C.) to withdraw and rewrite the Clean Power Plan (CPP), currently being litigated in federal court. The order also yanked the Department of Interior's (DOI) (Washington, D.C.) plan to reassess the federal coal-leasing program and overturned several executive orders and presidential memoranda on climate change signed by then-President Barack Obama.
