The Trump administration is attempting to once again eliminate the small agency charged with investigating dangerous chemical accidents and releases.
According to a supplement released Friday by the Office of Management and Budget, the Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board would be “permanently cancelled” by the end of September 2026.
The proposal to eliminate the board’s funding is “part of the Administration’s plans to move the Nation towards fiscal responsibility and to redefine the proper role of the Federal Government,” the supplement says.
