At a Senate Environment and Public Works Committee nomination hearing, Senator Mark Kelly says he and ranking member Whitehouse asked nine leading data center developers whether they asked the EPA for this rule. Seven responded, and none said they had. Schwab says the proposal is "not specific to data centers," and Kelly asks whether it was decided internally that communities shouldn't have input.

And what I can't understand is who asked for this. So I worked with ranking member White House to ask nine of the leading data center developers, seven of them responded, and none of them said they asked EPA to make this rule. So Mr. Schwab, you've been at EPA since these rules were proposed and you've been in the Trump administration since the president took office. So maybe you know, like who asked the EPA to roll back these common sense protections? Thank you for the question, Senator. The proposal is not specific to data centers. The proposal addresses generally requirements for minor issues. And who asked to roll them back? Because it wasn't the data centers, so it must have been somebody, unless it was just decided internally that you don't think the community should have an input.
