What did Environmental Protection Agency publish on May 5?

The US Environmental Protection Agency published a one page notice on May 5, according to the U.S. Government Publishing Office.

The notice is focused on Notice of Approval of Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) Permits for Newmont Nevada Energy Investment, LLC (Nevada Department of Environmental Protection No. AP4911-1349), Hawaii Electric Light Company (Hawaii CSP No.0007-01-C), and Title V Operating Permit for Peabody Western Coal Co. (EPA Region 9 No. NN-OP 99-07).

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.
