Week ending Sept. 19: Environmental Protection Agency publishes 8 notices

There were eight notices published by the Environmental Protection Agency in week ending Sept. 19, according to the Federal Register.

The most recent notice, Environmental Impact Statements; Notice of Availability, was submitted on Sept. 17, 2021.

The Environmental Protection Agency published 16 the week before, marking a 50.0 percent decrease.

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.
