Congress has criticized the draft Plan for its proposal to drop race as a factor in identifying and prioritizing communities. This criticism follows upon a sharp criticism of USEPA by the Inspector General for failing to comply with Executive Order 12898. Both the House of Representatives and Senate have asked USEPA to see that funds are not used "in contravention of, or to delay the implementation of" Executive Order 12898, and a draft bill would prohibit USEPA spending if it was not consistent with the Order.
