March 31 (UPI) -- Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan announced Wednesday he would dismiss more than 40 outside experts appointed to a pair of advisory panels under former President Donald Trump.
Regan said he would "re-establish the membership" of the Science Advisory Board and the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee as the agency will begin "reconfiguring the independent committees in a way that returns the agency to its standard process of incorporating a balanced group of experts."
