Even as the White House is proposing to slash much of EPA's budget in fiscal year 2018, it is seeking an almost $70 million increase compared to FY 17 to encourage early retirements and cut the agency's workforce, as well as a smaller increase to implement its deregulatory efforts, which some observers have said could be threatened by the proposed cuts. According to EPA's budget justification, the agency is seeking a total of $68.1 million for "workforce reshaping" efforts in FY 18, including $46.7 million for the environmental programs and management account, $ 10.995 million for the science and technology account and $10,437 million for the Superfund account.
