Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Michael Regan is slated to testify on oversight of the agency Wednesday before the House Oversight and Accountability Committee.

The meeting comes after the Supreme Court recently voted 5-4 to halt the EPA’s “Good Neighbor Rule,” which regulates interstate air pollution. The ruling was the latest move by the conservative-dominated court against the environmental agency’s regulatory authority.

It also comes just months after the agency set the first-ever national limits for toxic and pervasive ‘forever chemicals’ in drinking water.

The event is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. EDT.

Philippine forces sail to hotly disputed shoal without incident for first time since deal with China
Philippine government personnel transported food and other supplies Saturday to a fiercely disputed shoal occupied by a Filipino navy contingent but closely guarded by Beijing’s forces in the South China Sea and no confrontations were reported, Philippine officials said. It was the first Philippine government supply trip to the Second Thomas Shoal, which has been the scene of increasingly violent confrontations between Chinese and Philippine forces, since the Philippines and China reached a deal a week ago to prevent clashes, the Department of Foreign Affairs in Manila said in a statement. "The lawful and routine rotation and resupply mission within the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone is a credit to the professionalism of the men and women of the Philippine navy and the Philippine coast guard and the close coordination among the National Security Council, Department of National Defense and the Department of Foreign Affairs,” the Philippine Foreign Affairs Department said, without providing other details.
