Some U.S. Senators plan to put the Environmental Protection Agency in the spotlight again Tuesday by holding a subcommittee hearing on recommendations from the Inspector general and the Government Accountability Office.

Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) will chair the Senate Environment and Public Works Subcommittee on Superfund, Waste Management and Regulatory Oversight on Tuesday at 2 p.m. in Washington.

Entitled “Oversight of the Environmental Protection Agency’s Progress in Implementing Inspector General and government Accountability Office Recommendations,” the hearing will focus on whether the EPA has followed through with the recommendations.

The witnesses include Alfredo Gomez, Director of Natural Resources and Environment Team of the U.S. government Accountability Office and Alan Larsen. He is Counsel to the Inspector General of the Office of Inspector General at the EPA and the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Safety Board.
