Proposed rule published on July 30 by Environmental Protection Agency

The US Environmental Protection Agency published a one page proposed rule on July 30, according to the U.S. Government Publishing Office.

The proposed rule is focused on Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; Proposed Approval of State Implementation Plan Revision for the Issuance of Federally Enforceable General State Operating Permits and General Plan Approvals Under Sections 110 and 112(l).

More than half of the Agency's employees are engineers, scientists and protection specialists. The Climate Reality Project, a global climate activist organization, accused Agency leadership in the last five years of undermining its main mission.

Notices are required documents detailing rules and regulations being proposed by each federal department. This allows the public to see what issues legislators and federal departments are focusing on.

Any person or organization can comment on the proposed rules. Departments and agencies must then address “significant issues raised in comments and discuss any changes made,” the Federal Register says.
