Just one of those actions \u2014 delaying implementation of a national smog health standard \u2014 will alone will result in <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/2017\/06\/16\/delaying-smog-standards-risks-lives-jeopardizes-americans-health\/\">230,000 more asthma attacks<\/a> for kids.<\/p>\n<p>These actions have been taken with no meaningful public input or engagement. Meanwhile, the intermittent information we glean about Administrator Pruitt\u2019s calendar and his schedule underscores his extensive meetings and visits with major industry.<\/p>\n<p>Underlying these distressing developments, there\u2019s something even more fundamental at play. How has the American public learned how Administrator Pruitt, a taxpayer-funded public servant, spends his time? How have we gotten information on the company he keeps?<\/p>\n<p>Under past EPA Administrators, the calendars of senior managers \u2014 including the Administrator \u2014 were released to the public via accessible, concurrent platforms.<\/p>\n<p>Troublingly, Scott Pruitt has ended this practice. We\u2019ve only gotten information about his activities through intermittent information shared with the press, or months after the fact through time-consuming, burdensome Freedom of Information Act requests.<\/p>\n<p><strong>EDF calls on Pruitt to follow long-standing EPA practice and make his calendar public<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>EPA has an important job to do on behalf of the American public \u2014 protecting our health and welfare from dangerous pollution. Without timely information on the activities and schedule of Administrator Pruitt and his senior staff, members of the public cannot have full confidence that EPA\u2019s leadership is working on their behalf.<\/p>\n<p>Administrator Pruitt\u2019s lack of transparency raises serious questions about potential abuse of EPA\u2019s limited resources for activity that contravenes or is in serious tension with important legal and ethical requirements.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why today EDF <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edf.org\/sites\/default\/files\/content\/transparency_-_schedule_-_final.pdf\">called on Pruitt<\/a> to make his schedule, and that of his senior officials, available to the public on a widely accessible platform. Administrator Pruitt should immediately carry out this fundamental transparency practice, followed by EPA administrations of both parties. EDF is simultaneously submitting a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edf.org\/sites\/default\/files\/content\/foia_for_administrator_pruitts_schedule_final.pdf\">Freedom of Information Act request<\/a> to obtain this information \u2014 a public record \u2014 in order to assure that the public at least obtains more up to date information on Pruitt\u2019s activities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>EPA is supposed to operate \u201cin a fishbowl\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The important transparency practice of sharing senior policy leaders\u2019 schedules has a long history at EPA.<\/p>\n<p>In 1983, William Ruckelshaus \u2014 the first EPA Administrator \u2014 was brought back to lead EPA by President Ronald Reagan in order to restore public trust after the scandal-plagued tenure of Administrator Anne Gorsuch. One of Administrator Ruckelshaus\u2019 first actions was to issue was his \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.regulationwriters.com\/downloads\/EPA-Fishbowl-Memo-05-19-1983-Ruckelshaus.pdf\">Fishbowl Memo<\/a>,\u201d which vowed that EPA would \u201coperate in a fishbowl\u201d and \u201cattempt to communicate with everyone from the environmentalists to those we regulate and we will do so as openly as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ruckelshaus\u2019 Fishbowl Memo adopted as EPA policy a number of specific activities that are the hallmark of fair and transparent government. In particular, Ruckelshaus included a commitment to share senior leadership schedules as the Memo\u2019s very first transparency directive:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In order to make the public fully aware of my contacts with interested persons, I have directed that a copy of my appointment calendar for each week be placed in the Office of Public Affairs and made available to the public at the end of the week. The Deputy Administrator, and all Assistant Administrators, Associate Administrators, Regional Administrators, and Staff Office Directors shall make their appointment calendars available in a similar manner.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This commitment to transparency and public access to EPA calendars has continued across administrations. For example, Administrator Lisa Jackson <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/sites\/production\/files\/2014-02\/documents\/transparency_in_epas_operations.pdf\">echoed this commitment<\/a> upon her arrival, writing that \u201c[t]o keep the public fully informed of my contacts with interested persons,\u201d she would make available to the public, every day via the EPA website, \u201ca working copy of my appointment calendar, showing meetings with members of the public.\u201d She directed her senior staff to do the same. Administrator Gina McCarthy and Acting Administrator Catherine McCabe similarly continued this practice.<\/p>\n<p>Yet Administrator Pruitt has ended the foundational transparency measure of making his and his senior policy leaders\u2019 schedules readily available to the public. The policy change is illustrated by these two snapshots of EPA\u2019s website from six months apart.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/19january2017snapshot.epa.gov\/aboutepa\/epas-acting-administrator_.html\">EPA\u2019s website on January 19, 2017<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/7\/files\/2017\/06\/EPA-website-January-19-2017-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17175\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/7\/files\/2017\/06\/EPA-website-January-19-2017-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"590\" height=\"298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/7\/files\/2017\/06\/EPA-website-January-19-2017-1.jpg 960w, https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/7\/files\/2017\/06\/EPA-website-January-19-2017-1-300x152.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/7\/files\/2017\/06\/EPA-website-January-19-2017-1-768x388.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/aboutepa\/epas-administrator\">the same page today<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/7\/files\/2017\/06\/EPA-website-June-19-2017.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17172\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/7\/files\/2017\/06\/EPA-website-June-19-2017.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"630\" height=\"286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/7\/files\/2017\/06\/EPA-website-June-19-2017.jpg 630w, https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/7\/files\/2017\/06\/EPA-website-June-19-2017-300x136.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>A true back to basics approach<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Pruitt has recently made a show of focusing on \u201cEPA Originalism\u201d and getting EPA \u201cBack to Basics.\u201d We suggest he follow long-standing EPA practice and the guidance of EPA\u2019s original Administrator, William Ruckelshaus.
