February: Environmental Protection Agency publishes 59 notices

There were 59 notices published by the Environmental Protection Agency in February, according to the Federal Register.

The most recent notice, Revocation of 1980 Guidelines and Final Opportunity To Submit a Request To Correct the Initial Report Filed for the Original Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Inventory of Chemical Substances, was submitted on February 25, 2022.

The Environmental Protection Agency published 45 the month before, marking a 31.1 percent increase for the current month.

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.
