Proposed rule published on Oct. 6 by Environmental Protection Agency

The US Environmental Protection Agency published a six page proposed rule on Oct. 6, according to the U.S. Government Publishing Office.

The proposed rule is focused on Clean Air Act Approval and Promulgation of New Source Review; Implementation Plan Addressing New Source Review in Nonattainment Areas; Louisiana; Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; Louisiana Administrative Code (LAC), Title 33, Environmental Quality, Part III. Air, Chapter 5. Permit Procedures, Section 504. Nonattainment New Source Review (NSR) Procedures.

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.
