The US Environmental Protection Agency published a two page notice on Aug. 17, according to the U.S. Government Publishing Office.

The notice is focused on Environmental Impact Statements and Regulations; Availability of EPA Comments Availability of EPA Comments Prepared Pursuant to the Environmental Review Process (ERP), Under Section 309 of the Clean Air Act and Section 102(2)(c) of the National Environmental Policy Act as Amended. Requests for Copies of EPA Comments Can Be Directed to the Office of Federal Activities at 202-564-7167. An Explanation of the Ratings Assigned to Draft Environmental Impact Statements (EISs) Was Published in FR Dated April 6, 2007 (72 FR 17156).

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.
