What did Environmental Protection Agency publish on June 23?

The US Environmental Protection Agency published a seven page proposed rule on June 23, according to the U.S. Government Publishing Office.

The proposed rule is focused on Regulation of Fuel and Fuel Additives: Reformulated Gasoline Requirements for Former Severe Nonattainment Areas Under the 1-Hour Ozone Standard That Were Redesignated to Attainment for the 1-Hour Standard Prior to Its Revocation, and Which Are Current Nonattainment Areas for the 8-Hour Ozone Standard.

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.
