Notice published by Environmental Protection Agency on May 2

The US Environmental Protection Agency published a two page notice on May 2, according to the U.S. Government Publishing Office.

The notice is focused on Notice of Two Proposed Agreements, a CERCLA Agreement and Order on Consent for Removal Action by a Bona Fide Prospective Purchaser Related to The Former Caribbean Petroleum Refining, LP Facility, Bayamon, Puerto Rico, and a Proposed RCRA Compliance and Prospective Purchaser Agreement Related to Gasoline Service Stations' Underground Storage Tanks Currently Owned by Caribbean Petroleum Corporation at Locations Throughout the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

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.
