Regulator Roundtable: EPA and CEQ Developments Under the Second Trump Administration

Join us for an engaging event at Sidley’s Washington, D.C. office focused on the latest developments in environmental law and policy under the Trump Administration. The program will feature two fireside chats with distinguished senior federal government officials from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ). A Sidley panel, comprised of environmental lawyers with prior federal government experience, will follow to share their observations on the evolving legal landscape.

Key topics will include:

• EPA implementation of Executive Orders and Administrator-level directives on deregulation, enforcement, and permit streamlining;
• CEQ’s ongoing National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) regulatory developments and anticipated guidance, including the implications of a recent Supreme Court decision on the scope of NEPA; and
• Federal action related to hot topics such as greenhouse gas regulation, PFAS and other chemical substance controls, environmental compliance with the expansion of artificial intelligence, and trends in energy and infrastructure development.

This event is designed for legal professionals, in-house counsel, and industry stakeholders seeking to stay informed on critical changes and emerging issues under the second Trump Administration.
