9 notices published in week ending Feb. 19 by Justice Department

There were nine notices published by the Justice Department in week ending Feb. 19, according to the Federal Register.

The most recent notice, Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the Clean Water Act, Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act, and Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, was submitted on February 18, 2022.

The Justice Department published five the week before, marking an 80 percent increase.

The Department is one of the oldest in the US, focused primarily on law enforcement and the federal prison system. Downsizing the Federal Government, a project aimed at lowering taxes and boosting federal efficiency, detailed wasteful expenses such as $16 muffins at conferences and board meetings.

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.
