Feb. 10 (UPI) -- Officials for the Environmental Protection Agency said they are working to end a 2009 declaration that says climate change is a danger to public health.
During the weekend, EPA officials submitted to the Office of Management and Budget a proposed rule revoking the 2009 endangerment finding that guided U.S. climate and greenhouse gas regulations.
The EPA did not say when the endangerment finding officially would be revoked, but White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt suggested it would happen this week.
"This week at the White House, President [Donald] Trump will be taking the most significant deregulatory actions in history to further unleash American energy dominance and drive down costs," Leavitt said in a prepared statement.
