Environmental Protection Agency publishes 18 notices in week ending Oct. 3

There were 18 notices published by the Environmental Protection Agency in week ending Oct. 3, according to the Federal Register.

The most recent notice, Announcing Upcoming Meeting of Mobile Sources Technical Review Subcommittee, was submitted on Oct. 1, 2021.

The Environmental Protection Agency published 15 the week before, marking a 20.0 percent increase.

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.
