"The Southern Environmental Law Center (SELC) is suing the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for allegedly failing to respond to the group’s request for documents pertaining to its regulatory reform task force.

Trump issued an executive order in February directing each agency to evaluate existing regulations and make recommendations to the agency head regarding their repeal, replacement or modification, consistent with applicable law."
