Environmental Protection Agency publishes notice on April 12

The US Environmental Protection Agency published a three page notice on April 12, according to the U.S. Government Publishing Office.

The notice is focused on Release of Draft Integrated Review Plan for the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Lead.

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.
