The Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency is the head of the United States federal government's Environmental Protection Agency, and is thus responsible for enforcing the nation's Clean Air and Clean Water Acts, as well as numerous other environmental statutes. The EPA Administrator is customarily accorded cabinet-rank by Presidents of the United States and sits with the President, Vice President, and the 15 Cabinet Secretaries, in keeping with the important duties of the Administrator. Since the late 1980s there has been a movement to make the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency a Cabinet Secretary, thus making the EPA a sixteenth cabinet department dealing with environmental affairs. The Administrator is nominated by the President, and must be confirmed by a vote of the Senate. EPA redirects here. ... Seal of the Senate The Senate is one of the two houses of the Congress of the United States, the other being the House of Representatives. ...

The office of Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency was created in 1970 in legislation that created the Environmental Protection Agency.

Administrators of the EPA

Note that Acting Administrators usually assume the office in the interim period between the resignation of a previous Administrator and the confirmation of his or her successor, or during the transition period between two Presidential Administrations, before the successor has been nominated and confirmed. Acting Administrators come from within the EPA, and usually hold an office that is subject to Senate confirmation before becoming the Acting Administrator. They are not subject to Senate confirmation to serve as the Acting Administrator, though to continue to serve as a full-fledged Administrator (as in the case of Lee M. Thomas), they must be confirmed by the Senate. Seal of the President of the United States The President of the United States is the head of state of the United States. ...
