American Petroleum Institute President and CEO Mike Sommers issued the following statement after the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced plans to reconsider several major rulemakings as part of a broader agenda to support American energy dominance.

"Voters sent a clear message in support of affordable, reliable and secure American energy, and the Trump administration is answering the call by moving forward on many of the priorities in API's five-point policy roadmap. As this regulatory process moves forward, we are committed to working with Secretary Zeldin on commonsense policies that advance American energy dominance."

API's five-point policy roadmap and EPA policy memo noted the importance of many of these regulatory actions to secure American energy leadership and protect consumer choice.
