The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Proposed 2023 Budget
The FY 2023 President’s Budget request for the EPA totals $11.881 billion with 16,204.1 FTE to advance Agency efforts to protect the environment and human health. This budget request, a $2.644 billion increase above the FY 2022 Annualized Continuing Resolution (ACR), will support EPA efforts to tackle the climate crisis, advance environmental justice, clean up air, land, and water pollution, fund scientific research, and position the Agency with the workforce and capacity required to address emerging and ongoing challenges. Additionally, the Budget includes more than $900 million in new resources to fully fund all of the water programs authorized in the Drinking Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Act (DWWIA).
