Who does the Environmental Protection Agency report to?

Question

As a government agency who is the responsible person or department that conducts oversight or investigation or enforcement?

Answer 1

The Office of the President supervises the Environmental Protection Agency as one of its administrative bodies.

Answer 2

The EPA is part of the Executive Branch (answers to the President) and is overseen by an Administrator, currently Stephen Johnson. The Administrator of the EPA is not legally part of the president's cabinet, though is considered to be a cabinet level administrator and is permitted to attend cabinet meetings (the vice-president and the president's chief of staff have this same status). You should clarify your question regarding oversight, investigation, and enforcement. Congress is responsible for investigating and overseeing anything the government spends money on, including the EPA. If for example congress didn't like what the EPA was doing, it could pass a law to get them to do things differently, but it would the job of the president to make sure the EPA follows the law. Congress makes laws, the president enforces them.

The EPA (being part of the executive branch, the head of which is the president) is it self responsible for enforcing and investigating violations of law regarding the environment.

Answer 3

The head of the EPA is a Cabinet member, and reports directly to the President of the United States.

Answer 4

are corporations responsible for poisoning people? somehow I knew that a corporation made a buck by poisoning somebody. That's the way capitalism works.

We have enough god damn environmental laws. Just enforce the ones we have.
