- 三位消息人士称，贾斯汀·施瓦布原本预计接替绍博担任空气办公室主管
- 消息人士称，绍博原本计划跳槽至律所的安排最终告吹
- 据报道，绍博曾表示将于7月17日辞职
- 目前尚不清楚绍博将留任多久
纽约7月29日（路透社）——据三位知情人士透露，在美国环境保护署现任主管宣布辞职后，白宫准备提名环境保护署署长李·泽尔丁的高级顾问贾斯汀·施瓦布，领导该机构权力巨大的空气办公室。
但其中一位消息人士称，现任主管亚伦·绍博原本计划跳槽至一家律所的安排在最后时刻告吹，目前该提名工作暂时中止。消息人士表示，绍博此前与工作人员参加了一系列告别派对，但最终选择留任。

绍博负责美国环保署空气与辐射办公室，原本计划于7月17日离职前往私营部门任职。路透社就其任职状态进行问询后，环保署表示，绍博被要求“留任更长时间，以助力进一步推进总统的议程，实现‘伟大美国回归’计划”。
施瓦布本月从白宫环境质量委员会加入环保署担任高级顾问，曾在唐纳德·特朗普总统第一任期内担任环保署副总法律顾问。
参议院确认之路存疑
若要正式接任空气办公室主管一职，施瓦布需要获得白宫提名，并经参议院确认。鉴于该职位的职权范围和影响力，参议院的批准存在不确定性。该职位负责监督《清洁空气法》的主要项目以及可再生燃料标准，这项政策常常使农业州议员和生物燃料生产商与石油州利益集团及炼油商对立起来。

“任何人事公告都将由政府直接发布。”当被问及施瓦布的潜在提名时，一位白宫官员如此表示。
施瓦布和绍博均未立即回复置评请求。
环保署发言人在回复发送至施瓦布环保署邮箱的邮件时称：“我们很高兴贾斯汀回归环保署，期待他加入团队，在署长泽尔丁的领导下，继续推进总统的议程。”
绍博和施瓦布均与总部位于华盛顿特区的游说公司CGCN集团有关联。绍博于2018年被任命为CGCN合伙人，该公司的客户包括美国燃料和石化制造商协会，这一贸易组织曾反对对颗粒物污染实施更严格限制。根据施瓦布的领英个人资料，施瓦布自称是CGCN法律的创始人，该实体是CGCN旗下提供专业法律服务的机构。
环保署未说明绍博将留任多久。

- Justin Schwab had been expected to replace Szabo to lead air office, three sources say
- Szabo’s planned move to law firm fell through, source says
- Szabo had said he would resign on July 17, according to reports
- Unclear how long Szabo will remain in position
NEW YORK, July 29 (Reuters) – The White House was poised to nominate Justin Schwab, a top adviser to Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin, to lead the agency’s powerful air office after the current head said he would resign, according to three sources familiar with the plans.
But officeholder Aaron Szabo’s planned move to a law firm fell through at the last minute, aborting the nomination for now, one of the sources said. Szabo attended a series of farewell parties with staff before staying on, the sources said.

Szabo, who heads the EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation, had planned to leave the agency on July 17 for a private-sector job. He was asked to remain “a little longer to help further advance the President’s agenda and Power the Great American Comeback,” the EPA said after Reuters inquired about his status.
Schwab joined the EPA this month as a senior adviser from the White House Council on Environmental Quality and was deputy general counsel for the EPA during President Donald Trump’s first term.
SENATE CONFIRMATION UNCERTAIN
To permanently take over as air office head, Schwab would need the White House to nominate him and the Senate to confirm him. The Senate’s approval would be uncertain given the scope and influence of the position, which oversees major Clean Air Act programs as well as the Renewable Fuel Standard, a program that often pits farm-state lawmakers and biofuel producers against oil-state interests and refiners.

“Any and all personnel announcements will be made directly by the Administration,” a White House official said when asked about a potential Schwab nomination.
Schwab and Szabo did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
“We are excited to have Justin return to EPA and look forward to having him on the team as the agency continues to advance the President’s agenda under Administrator Zeldin’s leadership,” an EPA spokesperson said in response to an email sent to Schwab’s EPA address.
Szabo and Schwab are both affiliated with CGCN Group, a Washington, D.C.-based lobbying firm. Szabo was named in 2018 as a partner at CGCN, whose clients included the American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers, a trade group that has opposed stricter limits on particulate pollution. Schwab lists himself as founder of CGCN Law, an entity under CGCN providing specialized legal services, according to his LinkedIn profile.
The EPA did not say how long Szabo would remain in his position.
