Environmental Protection Agency publishes notice on Jan. 26

The US Environmental Protection Agency published a two page notice on Jan. 26, according to the U.S. Government Publishing Office.

The notice is focused on Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Application for Registration of Pesticide-Producing Establishments (EPA Form 3540-8); Notification of Registration of Pesticide-Producing Establishments (EPA Form 3540-8A) and Pesticide Report for Pesticide-Producing Establishments (EPA Form 3540-16); EPA ICR Number: 0160.08, OMB Control Number 2070-0078.

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.
