White House Warns EPA Of Looming Funding Reductions In FY15 Budget

摘要

The White House is warning EPA it faces a potential budget cut of up to 10 percent in its nascent fiscal year 2015 budget plan that could cut the agency's overall funding to $7.79 billion - down from its current $7.9 billion level and far below President Obama's FY14 budget proposal earlier this year that would fund EPA at $8.15 billion. Sylvia Burwell, director of the White House Office of Management & Budget (OMB), sent a May 29 memo to EPA and other agencies directing them to write FY15 budget plans that include significant funding cuts.
