White House to nominate EPA adviser Justin Schwab as head of Air and Radiation office

Justin Schwab EPA Air Office Aaron Szabo White House nomination Senate confirmation

The White House was preparing to nominate Justin Schwab, a senior adviser to EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, to lead the Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Air and Radiation after current director Aaron Szabo announced his resignation. Szabo’s planned move to a private‑sector law firm collapsed at the last minute, prompting him to remain at the agency.

Schwab joined the EPA this month from the White House Council on Environmental Quality and previously served as deputy general counsel during the first Trump administration. Any nomination would require Senate confirmation, which officials said could be uncertain given the office’s oversight of major Clean Air Act programs and the Renewable Fuel Standard. Both Schwab and Szabo have ties to the lobbying firm CGCN Group. An EPA spokesperson said all personnel announcements will be made directly by the administration.
