Rule published by Environmental Protection Agency on Sept. 2

The US Environmental Protection Agency published a nine page rule on Sept. 2, according to the U.S. Government Publishing Office.

The rule is focused on Lead; Fees for Accreditation of Training Programs and Certification of Lead-based Paint Activities Contractors.

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.
